Al Gore attorney David Boies stabbed the New York Times in the back, directed Harvey Weinstein's 'army of spies'

If you know the name David Boies, it's probably because you were paying attention during the aftermath of Al Gore's 2000 election loss. Boies was Gore's legal point-man, and became a staple of talking-head news shows during the campaign's doomed attempt to navigate the hanging-chad / legal challenge fiasco following the narrow results in Florida. Gore's effort to overturn the now-undisputed outcome made Boies a household name - one that dragged the country through months of ill-conceived legal gymnastics. Until yesterday, Boies was still a highly-regarded attorney. Now, Boies's prominence may finally have come to an end.
