A lawyer with an enormous resume, Bromwich was a prosecutor U.S. Attorney’s Office in the 1980s for the Southern District of New York and worked on the Independent Counsel’s investigation into the Iran-Contra scandal, helping to convict current NRA president Oliver North for illegally selling weapons to Iran in order to fund right-wing Nicaraguan death squads.

Bromwich would go on to join the Justice Department as their Inspector General from 1994 to 1998. He currently is the head of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s legal team and has now decided to add his extensive talents to Professor Christine Blasey Ford’s legal team.

His expertise undoubtedly is going to be very valuable as Ford readies herself for what will likely be a grueling and unforgiving cross-examination by an unfriendly and resentful Republican-led Judiciary Committee.
