I could see it being Gabriel, venting that the chief took the law into her own hands, and there having been unintended consequences (i.e. someone he vented to tipped off the lawyer). What I can't see is him continuing to help. Unless maybe he was being blackmailed.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

I am drawing a complete blank.... who's Russel?
Russel Taylor - public relations for a long time -hates Brenda but was finally persuaded to stop trying to sabotage her. [link]
Persians are from Buffy - a unit of value among demons representing actual Persian cats, but able to be paid in anything to reach the same equivalent value. Buffistas used to bet Persians on the future results of plot points.

About 5 minutes ago it occurred to me that Russell could be Taylor's first name... thanks for the confirmation (I DID check imdb, but they only had his last name.)
Somehow I never picked up on the Persian coinage amongst Buffistas. I knew about toasters being awarded, but not Persian kittens. (And I've been here since the days of Table Talk. I wonder what else I've managed to overlook?)
I like the bug idea because it lets her team off the hook. But I don't know how it would explain the lawyer finding out about the older cases - the Russian, the Mexican cartel case, the pedophile, and so on.

Wouldn't those be on the public record?

Those are less of a mystery to me. Okay, it's a little bit of a mystery that he hadn't already dug into her history, but as soon as there was another death in custody (or custody-adjacent) I figured it was kind of game over. Noting the irony that the suicide guy she really didn't have anything to do with.

Yeah and she was not really responsible for the rapist cop either,and least not in the sense of doing anything wrong. She genuinely tried to arrest him, he genuinely tried to kill her and (I think his son) and shooting him was the only way to stop him killing one or more people. But even though the lawyer has spotted a genuine pattern, he has no problem adding in stuff that does not belong if it will help his case. Totally an end justifies the means guy - very symmetrical with Chief Brenda.

Trust my rage
I've been thinking since we started this conversation that I would not like Brenda's end justifies the means philosophy in real life. But on TV, I'm totally fine with it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Stuff that makes for great TV would suck for having to live.

Oh yeah. A lot of characters I enjoy on TV I'd dislike in real life.

Like when Dr. Chase gave that little cancer girl her first kiss cause she might not get to have one. In the show, I thought it was a beautiful moment. Reading about it in the newspaper, I'd be skeeved.
