Abdo accomplished what we couldn’t
Naser Abdo, the Fort Hood bomber who was arrested several months ago, has accomplished what we couldn’t in regards to James Branum, the lawyer to IVAW and Under the Hood cafe – Branum seems to have left the military aspect of his practice;

So people seeking conscientious objector status, or fighting for their “right” to go AWOL and get another job while they’re under contractual obligation to the military will have to find a lawyer that won’t seell their ass for jail time.
Unfortunately for Oklahoma residents, he’s practicing bankruptcy law there. What a leech.
I don’t know how we missed it before, but i found his LinkedIn profile and one entry on his resume is that he was the world’s fatest pedicab driver. I don’t know how he figures that will make him more attractive to prospective employers looking for a fat lawyer, but there it is;

regardless, I guess we have something to thank Abdo for – ridding the military community of Branum’s portly visage. Thanks to one of my ninjas who gave me the tip.

I guess he tried to side with one too many shitbags.
Actually, he seems to be still practicing “military law” as well. I guess he wasn’t makint enough leaching off soldiers in desparate situations so he had to expand his scope. I know that his father was a poor to mediocre bankruptcy lawyer in OK (too many clients because his rate was too low) so I guess he joined the family business. I am going to the OK bar association’s commerical bankruptcy seminar in Dec. Will have to ask around to see how the shitbird is doing.
