[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone here must have worked with him at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. Give us the scoop! How come he only lasted a year there?[/quote]

No idea, and I didn't work there, but Google reveals articles indicating that it might have had a little something to do with wanting to serve in the military.  I know that's hard to understand for most people here.[/quote]

Actually, Google reveals that after graduating from law school, Tehran Tom clerked for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is a one year commitment, before joining Gibson Dunn.  Then, within a period of about two-years, he leaves Biglaw as a first year associate with virtually no meaningful litigation experience to join a pedigreed DC litigation boutique firm with deep conservative ties, only to join the Army, but not through the JAG program, in which event he would have been commissioned as a Captain.  Not too many Lieutenants with a Harvard law degree and a stint as a law clerk.  I find all of this quite strange.[/quote]
