GOP Cocksucker #399 (BRENT FURER) may have had to resign from the staff of GOP Cocksucker #301 (SEN. DAVID VITTER) but that doesn't mean the case of him cutting his girlfriend with a knife and holding her against her will didn't turn out okay for him. Charges of assault with a deadly weapon were dropped and Furer pled guilty to the misdemeanor charges of threatening bodily harm and destruction of property.
But what makes you wonder is how was Furer able to afford Thomas Kelly of Venable LLP, a high-priced defense lawyer on his $47,000-per-year salary? Kelly said that his fees were minimal and that Furer paid the tab. However, Kelly is not your run-of-the-mill defense lawyer. He is a former assistant United States attorney in Washington and is regularly honored in legal publications. He denies knowing Vitter or anyone else in Vitter's office.
So how did Furer come to pick him and how did he afford him?
With thanks to TPM Muckraker.
