…says this about the Ginsberg matter (I’m quoting roughly here): “He should have realized that it at least raised the prospect of a conflict. There are so many lawyers here he could have punted this to. There is a sort of FEC-related bar in town, and the work could have gone to someone who is not counsel to the Bush campaign. I doubt there is an actual conflict of interest, but it created an appearance of one. It created the appearance of a link between the Bush campaign and this outside group. Does it mean there was coordination? No. But you don’t want to put your client in that circumstance. There are links like this that happen all the time between campaigns and outside groups. But you don’t want your damn lawyer to be the link.”
