Two attorneys who until recently worked at big-name law firm Lewis
Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith have been exposed for making years' worth of
anti-Semitic comments in emails to one another.
In emails between the two that were obtained by Forward, attorneys John
Barber and Jeff Ranen are seen to routinely mock Jews and, in one
exchange, even said, "we will not hire Jews" in response to a letter of
recommendation they had received.
The pair also used the word "Jew" as a verb to denote stinginess with
money.
"I might be able to Jew them down," wrote Ranen in one email where he
discussed getting a hotel to lower its prices.
Other instances of blatant anti-Semitism include an email in which Barber
mocked Ranen for bringing bagels into work by labeling him a "Jew c--t";
Ranen responding to a submitted invoice by saying, "This is the reason why
people don’t like Jews"; and a complaint from Ranen about society frowning
upon anti-Semitism by lamenting, "Since when can we not make Jew jokes?"
Lewis Brisbois tells Forward that they found the emails between the two
lawyers after receiving a formal complaint leveled against them and that
the firm is now conducting a formal review of their behavior.
"We are deeply troubled by their use of prejudiced language and racial and
cultural slurs aimed at colleagues, clients, attorneys from other firms,
and even Judges,” the firm said in a prepared statement.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.
No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.
Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.
Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
