The Ethics of Legal Defense Funds

I don't think there is a problem with putting together a legal defense fund. It has to be done ethically. I like the idea of being transparent and disclosing so that people know what they're actually giving money to. But I don't see, for me, the idea that somebody who joins a political campaign or serves in the executive branch is thereby consenting to potentially ruin as attorney's fees as a condition of public service. "With transparency, transparency is a cure for a lot of ills," he says.
