Susan Estrich Stands By Her Man Instead of Civil Liberties?

Susan Estrich goes to bat for, "one of my closest friends", Bert Fields friend of ( Anthony "civil liberties" Pellicano):

There has emerged not one shred of evidence that Fields, widely considered the most ethical lawyer in this not always ethical town, knew or had anything to do with any aspect of the wiretapping.

Since the very beginning, Fields has maintained that he knew nothing of Pellicano's illegal tactics; that he neither authorized nor knew of any wiretapping and never used any evidence that even remotely appeared to come from wiretapping; that there was no evidence that would support a charge against him and that no conscientious U.S. attorney would bring a charge against him.

Could we make this up? Susan Estrich want's us to believe that Fields is " considered the most ethical lawyer" in Hollywood.Now that's news.Is the sample in her survey on Bert Fields just his happy clients? I guess if you believe that, you believe Fields knew absolutely nothing about Pellicano's wiretapping.I guess some self-described liberals in Hollywood don't care about civil liberties.
