Gableman has not responded to interview requests from the Journal Sentinel. He has retained Washington, D.C., attorney Viet Dinh, according to Michael Best. Dinh also has not responded to calls an email from the paper.Very few people on the planet could get themselves mentioned in three paragraphs that include the names Viet Dinh, George W. Bush and News Corp (that would be Rupert Murdoch's company).
Dinh is a professor at Georgetown University Law Center who worked as the assistant attorney general for legal policy in President George W. Bush's administration. In that post, he helped develop the USA Patriot Act and worked on the selection and confirmation of judges.
Dinh sits on the board of News Corp. and has been assisting with that firm's investigation of a phone-hacking scandal at its British tabloids.
