The Victorian Court of Appeal on February 21 ruled that a suppression order preventing the naming of the female barrister known as Lawyer X could be lifted today.
“EF’s actions in purporting to act as counsel for the convicted persons while covertly informing against them were fundamental and appalling breaches of EF’s obligations as counsel to her clients and of EF’s duties to the court,” the High Court said during their ruling. But a final push by Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton for Lawyer X’s identity to stay suppressed delayed the ruling.Herald SunRoyal Commissioner Margaret McMurdo speaking during the Royal Commission into Management of Police Informants in Melbourne.

What is the point of this?
As long as the media get her name out. Media can also write her obituary.
That judge just signed her death warrant

Pell's lawyer apologises for 'plain vanilla' comment as new details emergeCardinal George Pell's barrister has apologised for describing the acts of Pell's sexual assault of two 13-year-old choirboys as 'plain, vanilla sexual penetration' in court His Eminence Cardinal Dr George Pell is in Gaol now. No Vanilla Sex there. He can get Passion Fruit Mango & Cream or Chocolate & Salted Caramel. His choice. It's like a broken glass... it's broken no matter how you fix it.. it's broken. Your words are out there you can not take them back, because now they don't fit the occasion. I can't 'Unhear' your words.. Surprised at Pell's lawyer admitting his sexual transgression, even if only of the vanilla type & at same time appealing decision. Like his bread buttered on both sides I suppose, going for a mitigated sentence if appeal doesn't work.

Former Trump lawyer to label the US President a 'conman' and 'racist'Donald Trump's former lawyer and fixer will tell Congress that he has suspicions that the US President or his campaign colluded with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton. What a joke - “has suspicions” - so no direct knowledge or proof of. I think he would say anything at all to try to reduce his sentence for lying. The irony. Considering cohens character that doesn’t really amount to much
