Patrick Fitzgerald - Y'all remember him?

Ex-FBI Director James Comey’s defense lawyer is a longtime ally and former prosecutor known for taking down prominent political players.

Patrick Fitzgerald is advising Comey, who was indicted Thursday on charges related to obstruction of justice. Their ties reach back decades to when both lawyers worked as federal prosecutors in Manhattan.
