John Lacey Serves as MSNBC Commentator
John P. Lacey, Esq., a partner at Connell Foley LLP, recently served as a Legal Analyst on the MSNBC News Television Network during MSNBC's coverage of the "Battle for the White House 2000."
Mr. Lacey, a former federal prosecutor, concentrates his practice in the areas of complex litigation, white-collar criminal litigation, employment litigation and corporate investigations. In 1993 and 1994, Mr. Lacey served as Special Counsel to the New Jersey Republican State Committee. In that capacity, Mr. Lacey had defended the Republican Party against the various civil lawsuits and the federal and state criminal investigations that arose from the 1993 election of New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman. At Mr. Lacey's request, all of those matters were ultimately dismissed. Indeed, prosecutors took the unusual step of issuing a Report that publicly exonerated both Governor-elect Whitman and the Republican Party of any wrongdoing. After the litigation was concluded, Mr. Lacey served as outside counsel to the Republican State Committee.
During the recent MSNBC coverage, Mr. Lacey offered his insights concerning the complex web of lawsuits brought against Florida state and county officials and the legal and public relations steps necessary for Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore to win the recent election for President of the United States.
