I wonder if anyone realizes how horribly they insulted their ‘friends’? Maybe the word doesn’t as negative a connotation in law as it does in medicine? \_(ツ)_/

“To perseverate is to repeat something, such as words or actions, over and over again. ... In this sense, the act of perseveration is the persistent repetition of a word, gesture, or act. This can be the result of a brain injury or a condition like schizophrenia.”

I’m not joking not a single attorney I know (and I happen to know a lot) has ever used “so stipulated” in the course of a casual discussion. At one point I said “first explain exactly whats being stipulated” -Said person stopped using that phrase because I had enough of his drunken madness and verbal diarrhea. It’s the classic look at me I’m using bigly words because me is smart …nope

Law is so fascinating. It appears as though Sondland's lawyers were smart take the tort route since Pompeo's word is not worth the dirt on the bottom of my shoes. The legal fees, though, were a surprisingly high number. Could this case get thrown out for this, or could Sondland be asked to settle for less?

I expect the Government to file a MTD shortly - I would also expect for Sondland to produce a bill of particulars to support the $1.8M which is unreasonably high. Hourly rates range from $1,500 to $425 my fully loaded rate is just over $285 but that’s also factored into my bosses hourly rate. So unless they had a team of attorneys working 14+ hours a day - it certainly seems unreasonable
