The two former prosecutors and conservative activists were named Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing and they were not only ubiquitous on television, they had their hands in every scandal and investigation in Washington, making them, as Kurtz put it, “players, which gives them access to juicy information, which gets them on television, which generates legal business.” Then, as now, there were dozens of lawyers on cable news, acting as pundits or analysts and arguing over the details of the latest scandal news.
