I don't care enough to keep track but is there actually anything significant Barnes won at in the past decade to warrant his smugness? It seems like he either keeps taking L after L or he got kicked out or shooed away for trying to insert himself into cases he wasn't even asked to. Starting to think he has an insertion fetish and has a buttplug up his ass at all times.
Barnes biggest win of the past ten years was supposedly $500,000 he made on a bet in 2016 on Trump winning the election.
A general review of Barnes cases:
- He did some election cases involving ballot access and Ralph Nader in the early 2000s. He did ok work on those cases. He won one and lost one.
- There was the Wesley Snipes tax case which was kind of a mixed result for Barnes. But he got a large amount of national attention for himself from the case.
- He got involved with the legal problems of Joe Francis (Girls Gone Wild) and represented him. That ended in total disaster with Francis and Barnes attacking each other in public.
- He got involved in the Alex Jones Sandy Hook stuff and that ended in disaster.
- He got involved in a Covington High School lawsuit that went nowhere.
- He got involved in the Kyle Rittenhouse case and was eventually told to go away.
- He represented a bartender suing CNN personalty Don Lemon. The case went nowhere.
- He had a success getting the charges dropped against Amy Cooper - The Central Park Birdwatcher.
- He is fighting long ongoing litigation over the rights of Amish farmers not to have their food products inspected and generally for farming laws not to apply to them at all.
- He represented another amish guy over violation of gun transfer laws and had a semi-positive outcome in that the guy got no prison time.
- He won a tax case a long time ago involving Jerry Marchelletta. Marchelletta diverted company money into the construction of luxury homes for himself and several of his friends.
- He represented a rich family in the dairy business that was defrauded by their estate planner and their attorney. He managed to negotiate a settlement for them in 2018. From what I read, that seemed like ok work.
