Ms. Hormozi
I am told by many people that you were able to develop a good working relationship with David Grandeau. How that was possible is beyond me as I find him to be irrational, impulsive and mean spirited. In any event he appears to have developed an anger towards me that is becoming problematic. I don't know why this has happened as I went out of my way to try and get along with him. We had many informal chats over coffee I even offered to let him review our lobby guidelines before we released them for his input. I was trying to get him on a panel for CLE credit with me and I went so far as to share lots of confidential information with him. He has now turned on me and is continually calling for my firing and even embarrassed me by asking questions at a news conference I did after a meeting. Questions that I was wholly unprepared to answer.
To the extent that you have insight into what makes this lunatic tick I would appreciate your thoughts

I watched the press conference you referred to and my first advice is never speak in public again. As a former AUSA with a wealth of experience prosecuting dirty cops you looked guilty as hell. Anyway it's clear you have misread David's motivation. You called him a mercenary implying he was attacking you on behalf of a client. I'd be willing to bet that he doesn't have any client paying him to attack you or JJOKE. David has always been very good at representing clients and separating that from his personal jihads. I have witnessed first hand that when he decides to make it personal not business he has no limits which when combined with his natural smarts and instinct make him someone to avoid at all costs. I certainly made sure everything I did with David was business not personal and we got along fine. PIC even issued an opinion while I was there trying to prevent him from appearing before us on issues connected to the ethics reform law passed while he was executive director. It was complete bullshit that some of the commissioners wanted to do before PIC became JJOKE. He never seemed to care and just went about his business. BUT if he thinks you are bullying, a friend or someone he is loyal to, unjustly he turns into one of those mafia hitmen who will not stop until they eliminate the target. So you see you made an error in thinking it was his mercenary side that was coming after you. I guarantee it wasn't. It would have to be personal. I watched him destroy Herb Teitelbaum because Herb was unjustly prosecuting his friend Darren Dopp. He did it to Barry Ginsberg because Ginsberg was being a dick to the former Lobby commission employees (I even worked with David by allowing him to provide me a list of PIC employees to fire). Then he got Biben to resign because she fired one of his friends that was working at JJOKE. All personal not a bit of business in any of it. And all effecting non clients of his. So if I had to guess I'd say he thinks you are bullying someone or someones that he is loyal to. In short you are fucked. I'd resign and get the gov to find a different job for you. It will not get better only worse. For David you have become a vendetta.

Thanks for the insight
There were two cases we opened up involving former clients of Grandeau. And I did tell him I thought both cases (an imputed gift case and a pass thru source of funding case) were especially weak and that I would "put those puppies to sleep". It turns out my commissioners are too dimwitted to understand the statute and are insisting I pursue both cases even though we clearly will lose if the parties decide to litigate. But my commissioners don't care we are already spending $300000 to defend the PR opinion against Andy Celli and we haven't even opened an investigation file on Celli's clients. I think they like spending state funds on their buddies law firms. Is there anyway to stop him from attacking me and JJOKE and by association the governor and other folks on the 2nd floor (we have real exposure there)?
