Elizabeth Warren admits she pocketed $2 million from legal practice, which included anti-consumer representation

Under pressure from Buttigieg campaign, Warren releases financial information. The biggest problem is not that Warren made millions, but that much of it was made fighting the people she now claims to champion.
The history of Elizabeth Warren’s political scandals is that she initially releases only the information she thinks people already know. When doubt is cast on her story and the controversy doesn’t disappear, she tries to get ahead of the issue with an information release which is incomplete. When even more doubt is cast, Warren repeats the tactic.
That was the pattern in Warren’s Native American scandal.
After initially denying knowing why Harvard Law School touted her as its first Native American tenured professor, Warren spent 7 years with a series of incomplete and questionable defenses, leading up to the disastrous 2018 DNA test. Only when facing political collapse, and having run out of defenses after 7 years, did Warren issue obviously contrived and deceptively-worded non-apology apologies.
That also has been Warren’s pattern with regard to her private law practice while a law professor at Harvard, representing, among others, major corporations against consumers, employees, and the people Warren politically claims to champion.
In 2012, Warren issued a list of 10 cases she worked on, and we proved her list was incomplete, including her representation of Dow Chemical against breast implant litigants. In 2019, as major newspapers began to investigate, Warren upped the list to over 50 matters. But Warren never released information as to how much money she made. I estimated it in the millions.
This was a problem not just because Warren kept secret how much she made, but because her corporate law practice was at odds with her political narrative, as we documented:
We recently covered how Pete Buttigieg’s campaign was raising the issue of Elizabeth Warren’s corporate practice, and calling on her to release how much she made, Buttigieg Senior Advisor hits Elizabeth Warren secrecy over $millions earned as corporate hired gun.
True to her pattern, Warren’s campaign just release numbers for her legal practice, showing she made just under $2 million. The Hill reports:
Nothing to see here, move along? Not quite.
The biggest problem is not that Warren made millions, but that much of it was made fighting the people she now claims to champion. The issue is, will any of the Democrat candidates confront Warren at the next debate?
