Last
Friday, Epstein, Becker and Green attorney Daly Temchine was surprised
to receive a letter from Bessie Wash informing him that he was fired
as counsel for "The Pacifica Foundation." Rappoport, the other attorney
on the case was also cut loose.
"The
Pacifica Foundation" has now hired the firm of Williams and Connelly
which represented Clinton in his impeachment proceddings, as well
as represented FOX TV against reporters suing that network over
their firing for refusing to falsify a story to please major adverstiser
Monsanto on the dangers of recombinant bovime growth hormone which
it holds the patent on..
What
does this mean? No one knows yet, but the obvious question is how
much does this firm cost, and where is the money coming from to
pay them. (Below some details on the lawyers)
Teaming
up with the Williams and Connelly is the high-priced PR firm Westhill
Partners, which interestingly represented Monica Lewinsky. Westhill
is equally unsavory. Their founder (now deceased) John Scanlon,
headed the Tobacco Industry's Campaign to discredit the whistleblower
Jeffrey Wigand, whose story was depicted in the recent fims "The
Insider." Westhill is acknowledged as the number to PR firm in "crisis
management" in other words, dealing with clients involved in high
profile scandals.
The
axing of EBG may also indicate tension between PNB hijackers Murdock
and Ford. Ford, acting with the circumspection that has made him
famous (you know I'm kidding, right?) sent board members a notice
of meeting to "elect" additional members to the board. He was slapped
down by Murdock, who sent a memo revoking Ford's notice on advice
of counsel, as the Ford memo was in violation of the legally binding
stipulation agreed on as part of the lawsuits. This same stipulation
was the basis for the quashing of the hijacker's recent attempt
to call a meeting to pack the board.
