Gordon MacDonald should never have been the AG. He lied on his application to the Supreme Court as well. He said he didn’t have any conflicts of interest but failed to mention that he was still listed as an agent at Nixon Peabody for a firm managed by Gordon Humphrey, whom he listed as a referee. He was still listed as the Nixon Peabody agent until late 2024.
Look at Jane Young’s praise of him. No wonder he appointed her to the screening committee of ADO and then as his attorney in the Martin matter. JCC failed to question her conflicts of interest in representing him too. ADO failed to acknowledge their conflicts of interest for complaints against her until those complaints were appealed.
He appointed Judge Keating to AOC. Keating was one of the judges who kicked his divorce down the road- again.
The legal community has poor judgment, protecting its own, ignoring conflicts of interest left, right, and center all day, every day, costing the taxpayers in civil rights , millions and billions to fix what the N.H. legal community has failed. YDC cover-ups are squarely due to faults of the legal community, which is only too happy to have money exchange hands and NDAs signed instead of following laws for reporting abuse at YDC, in schools.
This is from In Depth and his hearing for the Supreme Court.
Yes, it’s about his character- it’s bad. Gordon MacDonald has no ethics. Period. He didn’t in the AG’s office, and he didn’t on the Supreme Court.
He hid Laurie List officers as well and used public funds to defend his position on it, defying Judge Charles Temple’s April 2019 opinion.
He allowed police officers to get alumni and private student files without a warrant from St Paul’s and to make unsolicited cold calls to the people they found in those files and to bribe them.
Dangerous all around.
He also blocked an audit of Purdue Pharma before he became AG and then couldn’t join other AGs in a price-fixing suit against big Pharma because of his conflicts of interest.
He was disqualified from hearing YDC cases because he dismissed YDC abuse as “victim negligence, a” and his subordinate, Geoffrey Ward, deleted the files of Laurie List officers with no explanation.
