About Brianne Gorod

Jan. 29, 2019: 

Dear Friend, 

I am surprised how many, many good people continue to take an active interest in all this. The Hamilton Documents Imbroglio—It is all water under the bridge .... 

You ask if: “I ever heard from Brianne Gorod?”—No, not a word. And I don’t fault her for not doing so. She represents a client, and anything she says—even in private—could potentially injure that client or limit her scope later in litigation. She owes her client all her loyalty, and me—none. And that means she has to take it on the chin a bit. But you’ll notice that I was not part of any pile on against her or anyone else. Once my defense (Reports of My Death) went live, I urged third parties on Twitter (and other social media) to give all of my interlocutors time.** I did not stick any sword in anyone or ask anyone to get them. And I still have not. I have—by and large—let it go. (Though there was a recent flare-up at a peer reviewed journal ….) 

Amici, Slate, and third parties on Twitter and other social media—they are situated differently from Brianne. Amici etc—they don’t have clients.

Thanks for asking.

Seth
