Domenici Lawyers Up

By Paul Kiel

What a small world. Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) has nabbed Lee Blalack,
best known as Duke Cunningham's lawyer,
http://tpmmuckraker.com/cunningham.php to represent him in the Senate
ethics investigation, The Washington Post reports.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/06/AR2007030600606_pf.html

And they note the obvious irony:

Blalack, a partner in O'Melveny & Myers LLP's Washington office, is an
experienced defense lawyer.

As attorney for Cunningham, who is serving a sentence of more than
eight years, Blalack dealt with one of the federal prosecutors who was
later ousted, Carol S. Lam of San Diego.
