The Washington Post talks Washington power lawyer and Hillary Clinton supporter Jamie Gorelick, one of DC's most prominent attorneys and big-time Democrat. Gorelick came to fame in defense of Richard Nixon's fight to control his White House Papers. It put Gorelick in the position of defending a person her friends loathed -- and very probably, Gorelick herself.
Not for the first time, Gorelick tells WaPo that she's shocked over the response among friends that she's representing Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump over their Washington woes. AOC covered the most public slap, coming from prominent Democratic strategist and lobbyist, who tweeted, "Hey Jamie Gorelick, you've just poured that 'Complicit' perfume on yourself."
“Representing Jared and Ivanka is a case of pushing the ethical envelope, helping a wealthy family on the brink of using the presidency to further enrich themselves,” said David Halperin, a speechwriter in the Clinton White House and former counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee. “Gorelick is a Clinton supporter embracing the family that wanted to put Hillary Clinton in jail. People in Washington are all too willing to forgive that.”
