Taking his lead from Oliver North, Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) has hired Brendan V. Sullivan, Washington’s most expensive and most powerful lawyer, The Washingtonian reports.
The move makes it look like Stevens isn’t taking any chances in the ongoing federal probe into his dealings with Alaska oil services company Veco Corp.
Sullivan is used to going to bat for heavy weight defendants, including North, former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros, who pled guilty to a single misdeamenor at the end of a $9 million probe, and four FBI agents involved in the 1992 Ruby Ridge shootout.
