The truly scandalous thing about O’s mother was that she was a whore, a prostitute, a BDSM porn actress/model, and a hardcore communist. It’s doubtful that she even knew who the father was.
Actually, while she may have done that at some point, she was very young then and many people say that the father was not even the Kenyan grad student but Frank Marshall Davis, a Marxist friend of her father’s who was particularly interested in young people.
Be that as it may, Perkins Coie was definitely hiding something.
