Adam, I hear you, but in the particular mess that Clemens was in, the whole point of finding a lawyer is to get his particular advice on how to navigate past the alligators. Maybe Clemens had a path he wanted to follow but ol' Rusty facilitated that. Had Clemens come to me with that gameplan I would have told him to either follow my completely opposite advice or to take a hike. After all, in a high profile situation such as Clemens was in a lawyer does not want to lose. Getting famous for being a loser is not the kind of fame any attorney wants. Rusty blew this one, big time. I've never seen such massive mistakes from the get-go in such an obviously clear situation. This one wasn't even hard to figure out how it would end up.
