Maid Cline won't have to spend a dime for her high priced lawyer. Somebody's bankrolling her. The DNC wants Florida back before 2004 and they don't want to lose California. I think McAuliffe's afraid he's going to lose his job as DNC Chair. He's not an asset for them imo. They are tanking.

Another tidbit on Boies:

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 19 -- The lawyer who represented Al Gore in
his Supreme Court challenge of Florida results in the 2000 presidential
election has been accused of ethics violations in another case.

A Florida Bar grievance committee found probable cause that David Boies
violated rules of misconduct by giving money to a client and improperly
supervising other lawyers.

The committee's July 10 finding is similar to an indictment. The case
will be heard by a judge appointed by the Florida Supreme Court.

The allegations stem from Boies's involvement in a legal battle between
the owners of two Palm Beach lawn-care companies. He is accused of
providing unlimited legal and financial help to one of the owners because
of an alleged personal relationship with her.

Who is she? She may be a link.

Ron Brown's dead or does that lady lawyer rep his son? Like I said on another Rush thread, you cannot trust the cops, the judges, the attorneys or people like Maid Cline in South Florida. They tried to send Jose Canseco up the river for 15 years on steroid charges but had no proof. Janet Reno's former associates at the DA in Dade-Metro would love to bring down El Rushbo, even if the charges were false.

IMO, Terry McAuliffe isn't doing such a great job as DNC chair. I think he's behind this for Hil and Bill as a job security measure. He can afford to bankroll Maid Cline's attorney and money from him could easily be laundered so his identify never comes up.

So, Shohat knows how drug set ups work or FRAME UPS? I wish we knew when Maid Cline hired Shohat. I bet the actual chronology differs from what was reported that it was after she was granted immunity. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO GRANTED HER IMMUNITY AND WHY?

You'd have to do a google search for lawn care lawsuits with the name of the County. There might be case law right here on the internet. It may be real easy or take awhile but I'm thinking you can find out...and you can search the archives for the Palm Beach Post or the Miami Herald to see if they did any stories re: this lawn care stuff with Boies.

FYI: I don't know if the Palm Beach cops are investigating but remember all the election hijinx in Palm Beach? The Palm Beach and DAs are probably Janet's pals too.

I actually worked for Ron Brown under the Dept. of Commerce, Endangered Species Act. They fine people for picking up shark's jawbones on the beach for a souvenir. I mean, at that point, the shark's already dead. I got paid to type up all the violations for the southeastern U.S. and the violation handbook was about 400 pages. Endangered species have more rights than we do. Shortly thereafter, I moved on and Ron Brown was in the plane crash.

A California, Florida ring? Anyone from New York in the ring?

"Hey, when you need a lawyer, you get the one who will get the job done, period. You don't hire a nice sweet person, you hire the best D**M lawyer you can afford."

Exactly.

And that's why Rush couldn't really explain anything today. ANy lawyer worth his salt would tell his client to do that. Rush can't say anything until they know what's going on... and perhaps even later than that.

"I do not believe a word of this. I listen to Rush's program at least 4 times a week he does and has not sounded as if he is either under the influence of drugs , coming off the influence of drugs , or like he needs a fix. "

No kidding. It makes no sense at all. And let's not forget, a 3-hour radio program takes hours of preparation.

Name of lawn service and the owners. Lots of stuff re: Boies. Enjoy.

(CNSNews.com) - The lawyer who represented Al Gore in the hotly contested Florida post-election recount in 2000 is now facing ethics charges in what one local newspaper described as a "bizarre" case.

The Florida Bar's grievance committee found probable cause to charge David Boies with three counts of ethics violations. The ruling on July 10 accused Boies of misconduct, giving financial assistance to a client and improperly supervising other lawyers.

The bar's finding is comparable to an indictment, and a judge appointed by the Florida Supreme Court will hear the case. No timeline for resolving the matter has been set.

Boies could be barred from appearing in state courts in Florida if the bar finds him guilty of the charges. He is not currently licensed to practice law in the state, so he cannot be formally disbarred. However, Boies is allowed to practice in the state on a case-by-case basis.

Ken Boehm, chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), called the charges against Boies "very strong."

"The bar is notorious for not punishing wayward lawyers. The fact that this case has gone this far with a lawyer as prominent as David Boies really underscores the seriousness of these charges," Boehm told CNSNews.com. The NLPC is a conservative legal watchdog group based in Washington, D.C.

In addition to representing Gore in the losing recount effort, Boies headed the federal government's anti-trust lawsuit against Microsoft and has been consistently recognized as one of the nation's most influential lawyers by the National Law Journal.

Corporations such as CBS, DuPont and the New York Yankees have also been among Boies' clients.

Boies' office refused to comment on the ethics charges when contacted by CNSNews.com on Wednesday, but James Fox Miller of Fort Lauderdale, a business partner of Boies, was quoted by the Palm Beach Post Saturday as saying: "It's a shame [Boies has] been accused of something like this, and I'm upset about it."

Miller, the former head of the Florida Bar, said that Boies had never been censured during his legal career, which has lasted more than 30 years.

'Bizarre legal battle'

Boies' ethics charges stem from what the Palm Beach Post called a "bizarre legal battle" involving a local dispute between two lawn-care companies competing for the lucrative Palm Beach territory.

The landscaping legal woes that led to Boies' ethics charges originated in a breach of contract dispute between the companies in 1996, in which Boies represented one of the parties.

The legal battle between Amy Habie, owner of Nical of Palm Beach, Inc., and Scott and Carol Lewis of Scott Lewis Gardening & Trimming has been waging for seven years. The underlying dispute was settled in 1998, but post-settlement disputes continue over legal compliance issues.

Boies' Armonk, N.Y.-based firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner provided years' worth of free legal service to Habie while paying other lawyers more than $400,000 in fees. Habie was made a chief financial officer in Boies' law firm, with a salary of $120,000 a year, according to the paper, which quoted court documents.

Repeated suits called 'a sad commentary'

Habie's lawsuits have resulted in her being sanctioned by the courts nine times over the years, including three contempt of court orders, according to Lewis.

Circuit Court Judge David Crow called the series of lawsuits by Boies on Habie's behalf "a sad commentary on the inability of the legal system and the courts of our state to resolve a simple contract dispute, when one is willing to litigate without regard to costs."

But Boies has a family trust that is a part owner of Habie's lawn-care company, holding a minority interest in the company, according to court papers.

Lewis, who has acted as his own attorney in much of the legal proceedings despite having no legal background, is not impressed with Boies' skills as a lawyer.

"I am a gardener," Lewis told CNSNews.com. "Everybody sees David Boies as a genius, and I don't see it. I see Goliath falling.

"Boies wants to be remembered for serving the law, but in this case, he acted above the law," Lewis charged.

State bar has tackled legal legends

Boehm pointed to famed attorney F. Lee Bailey's 2001 disbarment on ethics charges from the Florida Bar as an indication that the bar may not be intimated by Boies' powerful connections. "If I were David Boies, I would be very concerned about the charges," Boehm said.

The impact of being found guilty of the ethics charges on Boies may be mixed, according to Boehm.

"But the public does expect people that have as much influence as Mr. Boies to behave responsibly, and this could have a very negative impact on his career," Boehm added.

CBS, the Yankees. Two lawn companies battling over who mows what. This was the top of a google search. It did work to put in David Boies lawn service lawsuit.

Now, we need to determine exactly what Boies' tie to National Enquirer is.

WHAT IF BOIES' LAWN SERVICE MOWED RUSH'S LAWN? Wouldn't that be weird? lol
