It's odd that a law firm can pull up old emails, but the White House can't seem to find Alberto Gonzales, Karl Rove and other Washington "big-wigs" whose emails were "supposedly" lost, destroyed, or they just can't seem to find with regard to the firings of the US attorneys...

Excuse me, but if she's doing her job at Akin Gump in a professional way, what's the problem here?
Maybe Akin Gump needs to pay their employees better so they don't have to get a second job.
Let's wait & see how many of their employees were clients & what happens to them.
I think it's about time that Akin Gump calls in good old Forrest, he'll take care of everything!
If everyone who was a client resigns or is put on admin leave, DC will become deserted.
This country has a lot more serious problems than who went where and did what!

The ironic thing is if she were just a slut giving it away, it would be legal. Legal to give it away, illegal to charge for it...makes a lot of sense — not.

I think the 'madam' controversy is going to become very interesting.

Get Life,

This is the oldest profession in the world, regulate it and embrace it.
Or just burn them at the stake.

My comment to this is who cares? Their are more important things that this country needs to care about other than who is pulling down their pants to what. I don't understand this whole so called scandal, this kind of thing has been going on in our nation's capital for as long as there been politicians and so called respectable law firms. So now that some higher ups have been found with their perverbial pants down, its a big surprise, you know what the sad part of all this is? nothing is going to happen, they will get their lowly scapegoats to take it in the pants for the team, and life will go back to status quo.

Won't it be the funniest thing if several of the partners of the firm turn out to be clients?

Umm . . Tootie, ARLENE, wildhrt9 -- the problem with this paralegal staying at Akin Gump lies in the emails she sent. Akin Gump cannot continue to employ a person who indicates that she is going to engage in illegal acts using the company's computers, telephones and equipment. That opens up the company to legal liability, particular if the company knew of the paralegal's activities and either actively condoned them or passively condoning them by failing to prevent the actions while knowing of their existence.

Dem Crazy -- are you familiar with libel laws in this country?

I wonder if any attorneys will get fired for being on the list, not necessarily from that firm but from any law firm. They should, especially if the firm knew about their illegal pastime. It shows a disregard for the code of ethics and indicates that they are dishonest.

Let's just see how many people are named as clients, by ABC. Probably only a select few will be DEMOCRATS...they can do no wrong (in the eyes of the MSM). i.e. Di Fi, Teddy, Hil, William Jefferson of Louisiana, Reid, etc., etc.

Not one politican or executive elitist snob has one percent of class, dignity, or honor that any one of these whores had. The lawyer johns will get off, the women will be tried and found guilty.

The words of the bible still ring true today.

Funny how a woman has the right to do as she wishes with her body, like abortion in the name of saving her 'health', but can't 'rent' out a portion of it to a guy in order to obtain a living (or to pay for health insurance).

I live in Nevada, & I got one thing to say to everyone from the other 49 states...

LEGALIZE IT

Looks like the rich and powerful will escape unnamed and unscathed, while the medium and small players will get the ink and take the fall.

If so, this will blow up in ABC’s face—if they allow or are complicit in this double standard, the list will get out through another source and ABC will lose major credibility. People are already so skeptical of main stream media.

ABC, do the right thing: all or nothing.

Akin Gump is just hating because the woman found another pimp...and she was billing out at a higher hourly rate than the rest of the Akin Gump stable.

will grisham write a book after tihs cos this is t=really interesting stuff, especially madam, lawyers, oh my God..... i dont want it to end. i love it.

It is ironic that a madame is on trial in Washington DC and faces prison, and yet the whores of Washington D.C (the Lobbyists)are free to roam the halls of the capital and sell themselves every day with no repercussions. To top it all, some of the whores(lobbyists)used the madames services.
Now if that don't beat it all!!!!

Akin Gump should make this woman a Vice President of the Ethics Committe for the firm...at least SHE has been honest.

Fun to see all those whining about how this poor woman, who was violating the conditions of her employment, is being treated poorly. She knew exactly what she was doing and deserves no pity. Don't like the rules where you work? Exercise your freedom to go where they not only allow you to moonlight, but encourage it. Poor paralegals!
