There was a motion to disqualify Bill Brewer from the NRA lawsuit against their former ad agency Ackerman McQueen. This is the appendix. It has a lot of interesting information about Brewer if you have time to go through it.

The first link is the motion.

Very Interesting...

So does this all mean, in plain English, that NRA’s prior law firm is asking that the law firm that replaced them, and is currently representing the NRA, be dismissed because of (what appears to me) to be conflict of interest and misrepresentation of NRA activities? Is that an accurate summary?

LONGTIME NRA ATTORNEY SAYS GROUP'S OWN LAWYER EMBARKED ON 'HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE PATH,' COURT DOCUMENTS SHOW

A top attorney at the National Rifle Association—who was let go from the organization last April amid an internal power-struggle and a state attorney general's investigation—appears to have accused the group's outside counsel of wrongdoing in a conflict that has pitted the NRA against its longtime PR firm.

J. Steven Hart, who until last year served as general counsel to the NRA's board of directors, named William A. Brewer III, an aggressive litigator and the NRA's current outside counsel, as the driving force behind many of the accusations that have resulted in at least four lawsuits currently playing out from Virginia to Texas.

The information was revealed in a redacted filing submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, where the NRA and its former PR firm, Ackerman McQueen, are airing a series of grievances about their decades-long relationship.

That lawsuit chiefly concerns a dispute about Ackerman's citations to the NRA in its portfolio, but wrangling over discovery materials has quickly exposed the underlying hostility between the two parties. Court filings now commonly reference "extortion" attempts and Shakespeare-style intrafamily quarrels.

The relevant filing, submitted by Ackerman on Wednesday, seeks to disqualify Brewer's namesake firm, Brewer, Attorneys and Counselors, over allegations that it is "leaking false and disparaging information" about the PR firm and "side-stepping the attorney-client privilege."

The document appears to have been improperly redacted when filed, allowing Newsweek to view material beneath the redactions, including testimony about Brewer that Ackerman attributes to Hart.
