3/5 Pierce appears to have invoked Gabbard's name in threatening his former spouse. (see pic.)

-Gabbard PB lawsuits were called "silly" by @techdirt & @mmasnick; who said ex-PB name partner David Hecht, Hecht Partners, should be "embarrassed"

#Fightback

4/5 Lots of questions around the finances of Pierce Bainbridge. @ericgarland connecting ex-PB client Giuliani to Paul Manafort (who plead guilty to conspiracy re: money laundering) adds to the intrigue. Also, an ex-PB client plead guilt to money laundering in 2012...
