Gina Haspel joined King and Spalding law firm.
King & Spalding is an international law firm providing clients a consistent, uncompromising approach to quality from its 23 offices worldwide.
Very prestigious, as I understand. Interesting the people who have worked there. Some, multple times over the years.
Gina Haspel:
Former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Gina Haspel is a senior national security advisor for King & Spalding's National Security and Corporate Espionage practice.
Gina Haspel oversaw a C.I.A. black site in Thailand before becoming the agency's director in 2018.
Guess who went before her?
Rod [J. Rosenstein] served in leadership positions in the U.S. Department of Justice during the administrations of Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump, ...
How 'bout this one?
[Christopher A.] Wray joined King & Spalding in 2005 as a litigation partner in the firm's Washington, D.C., and Atlanta offices. Wray represented several Fortune 100 companies ...
before being appointed by President Donald J. Trump in 2017
From January 2016 to July 2017, the month of his confirmation, Wray earned $9.2 million working as an attorney for the law firm King & Spalding
Or this one?
[Sally] Yates, fired by President Trump last year, rejoins the Atlanta law firm she worked for before her 27-year career in the Justice Department.
And there's this:
King & Spalding has become one of a handful of go-to firms for lawyers to fill Trump administration posts.
International trade partner Gil Kaplan appeared for his Senate confirmation hearing as under secretary of international trade at the Department of Commerce on Thursday morning. If confirmed, he'll be the sixth lawyer to join the Trump administration from the Atlanta-based firm.
I'm sure there's more but, I stopped searching after that. I'm sure it goes on and on and on, (kind of like this reply 😄). Seems like anybody who's anybody has worked there.
These people just walk through a series of revolving doors.
Was poking around in K&S's wikipedia after I posted my reply. This caught my eye:
In the immediate aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, King & Spalding was criticized for choosing to represent the Trump campaign in a lawsuit in North Carolina seeking to block the state from implementing a rule allowing an extension for the receipt of mail-in ballots.[45] Protesters gathered outside the firm's D.C. office on November 13.[45][46] Protesters including Eliza Orlins, a public defender and candidate for Manhattan district attorney, and others characterized the election lawsuits by King & Spalding, Jones Day, Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP, and other law firms as frivolous, highly unlikely to overturn the election result, and damaging to the integrity of American democracy.[45] As it turned out, Trump won North Carolina, making further proceedings by King & Spalding on his behalf in the state moot.
Just gets weirder and weirder!
Shout outs and hat tips 🎩👋 to u/Trump4evergirl for asking about Gina, and u/CovefeMonk for suggesting making this into a post.

So she hired them to represent her after she went back to work for them?!?!
Sorry Captain. I remember seeing this so I went and grab it. Yeah, it's strange about Sally Yates. Oh by the way, Thailand on your post. Reminded me a lot about trafficking from the Vietnam War. Lots of boat people put out to sea and they have certain islands there that the pirates would congregate to pick up the boat people and traffick the kids from there. If you want to know, there's a lot of info about that. I read one called, "From the Killing Fields to Heaven's Gate"
The author talked about the little kid being traffick to Thailand and elsewhere.
You are an excellent digger.
Oh, don't be sorry, I think it's great!
Yeah, seems like they've been trafficking everywhere for a long time and it always seems like the same people and organizations.
Thank you for the compliment! 🤗 You're no slouch, yourself, when it comes to posting!
Oh yes. They have been doing this shit for long time.
