Summary
This document contains pages 10-13 of a deposition transcript, likely from the House Oversight Committee's investigation. The witness discusses hiring practices with their partner 'Stuart' and explicitly admits that the firm's General Counsel, David Boden, acted as a 'consigliere' for 'illegal operations.' The witness details efforts to legitimize the firm by hiring reputable lawyers, specifically focusing on a lawyer named 'Brad' (likely Brad Edwards, given the context), who was highly recommended by 'Russ' and political figures to help 'rescue the firm' with a legitimate tort practice.
