Small update here: as we expected (our backgrounder, here), the unambiguous black letter law requires that “We, the people” must know the things (unlawful things) Tangerine did, in our name — with our precious taxpayer funds.

That’s a bedrock principle of US court proceedings, and US law. So we now know he’s had to pay the other side’s lawyers, almost half a million dollars — for using a form contract of adhesion (one he likely used for decades at his stupid “Organization”) while at 1600 Penn., to prevent disclosure of his unsavory ways — even matters that federal law requires tax-paid underlings to report, if they see them — under our shared post-Watergate / post-Nixon reforms:

…the Campaign will pay class counsel an aggregate total of $450,000, which includes any and all attorneys’ fees and costs (including notice-related costs) and an incentive fee of $25,000 to Ms. Denson [the lead plaintiff]….

Now you know. Grinning… couldn’t happen… to a nicer guy.
