Whoa whoa whoa whoa… you can’t make this shit up!
FORBES-
A Nevada judge has ordered the state’s attorney general to pay legal and discovery costs to Lender Processing Services after the state failed to come up with evidence supporting a lawsuit accusing the firm of defrauding homeowners, an attorney for LPS said.
The order represents an extremely rare case of a judge finding the state’s highest legal officer acted improperly, said Mitchell Berger with Berger Singerman, a Florida lawyer perhaps most famous for representing Al Gore in his post-election disputes in 2000.
“I have been practing law for 34 years,” Berger said. “I’ve been around the block. And I’ve never seen an attorney general sanctioned.”

My question is where was this AG when this secret settlement happened, hidden from the public until a lawyer trolling for help for homeowners, in the judicial system found this case filed. http://deadlyclear.wordpress.com/2013/10/07/state-ags-settle-with-lps-for-113-million-only-nobody-knew/
This was blowback on a failed prosecution against LPS.
Cortez Masto was all over mainstream media in mid-2011 on fire, ready to prosecute ‘fraudclosure’ – a term she helped popularize. Oct 15th, her deputy AG John Kelleher filed 15,000 complaints against LPS based on testimony from 3 LPS notaries.
Tracy Lawrence was one of those notaries. On Nov. 28th, 2011, she failed to appear at her sentencing hearing. Sheriff went to her home and found her dead of an apparent overdose. ME ruled it ‘not suspicious’. AG’s case collapsed. Cortez Masto was the last AG to sign off on the ‘settlement’. She’d planned to run for NV Governor this year. She was a top notch prosecutor in her day. This broke her.
