Tobacco Companies
Tobacco Industry Fraud, Negligent Homicide Litigation Defense, and Political Lobbying SabotageDescription
Tobacco Companies unleash lawyer legions—1,893 attorneys, 2,783 paralegals—drowning DOJ's fraud and negligent homicide assault in spending torrents that mock Justice's gutted budget. Prime defendants, five industry titans plus subsidiaries hoard war chests for brutal defense, their ties to opposing politicians sparking two Democratic defections that choke funding transfers. Josh barrels into CJ's orbit with fiery release drafts, thrusting Connelly's pleas toward Leo amid Haiti assault urgency and Bartlet's unseen grief, where corporate deceit fractures alliances in reelection crossfire.
