Was watching that Rekieta guy's stream on Rumble (lol) last night after the fallout. At a certain point he had 27k viewers live. The guy really rubbed me the wrong way, though. He had that Dick Masterson guy on and made a lot of really mean-spirited and crude trans jokes, to the extent that even Masterson looked uncomfortable. At the very least, why capture yourself behaving like that on camera, especially if you're a professional lawyer?
On top of the fact that if you ever have to litigate something regarding this stuff why open yourself up to having those recordings weaken your case? Seemed like a really classless dude, tbh. He also just seemed like an asshole outside of that stuff, too.
Rekieta is not a professional lawyer, he makes more off his streams than he ever has off his lawyering. His maintains his "practice" because this costs basically nothing to a lawyer. My understanding is that he mostly just refers people to other attorneys, which is not unusual for "famous" lawyers anywhere.
To clarify my previous endorsement of him was merely that unlike most of these online legal commentators, he once actually practiced and actually seems capable of understanding the law. (Through the seemingly impossible practice of checking the actual statute text and relevant court rulings.) He makes vague legal threats but never actually carries them out because he's smart enough to understand that is enough to scare off idiots. He is not going to sue over this unless he's too drunk to remember to check the law first.
