Lance Armstrong Hires Karl Rove's Big Law Mouthpiece

Attorney Robert Luskin with Big Head Client

Politico is reporting that Lance Armstrong hired Karl Rove's Plamegate lawyer, Bob Luskin of Patton Boggs. Looking back over the last year,  AmLaw Daily adds the following:

The cycling star's legal team got a boost last August when it added San Diego lawyer-turned-media-spinmeister Mark Fabiani, known as the "master of disaster" for his work during the Clinton administration, to his legal team. Bryan Daly, the cochair of the white-collar defense practice at Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton, confirmed to The Am Law Daily on Friday that he remains a member of Armstrong's legal all-starss, along with the cycling star's longtime lawyers Sean Breen and Tim Herman from Austin's HowryBreen. As noted by Politico, the team has launched its own Web site called facts4lance.com, which seeks to rebut the allegations levied by some of Armstrong's accusers."
