From MSNBC, questions asked to the lead attorney who is representing over 2500 families of victims of the 9/11 terror attack....
Do you really expect to collect more than $1 trillion—or any money at all—from Saudi princes and the Sudanese government? Or were the victims’ families simply trying to send a message?
Our lead counsel, Ron Motley, was very successful in the litigation against the tobacco companies. [The South Carolina attorney helped states recover billions in the tobacco settlements.] He has also collected millions of dollars for asbestos victims. Is this serious litigation? Is this real litigation? Yes, the goal is to collect for the families.
Why did you participate in this lawsuit?
We wanted to pursue this and collect for those who were wronged so that what happened on 9-11 won’t happen again. We are lawyers. We are playing our part, using the system of justice to stop terrorism.
Oh please...
