  1. Excerpt: The man mentioned in the e-mail, Richard Wyatt, is the co-chief of Hunton's litigation group. As ThinkProgress pointed out, Wyatt is the Chamber of Commerce's attorney in its lawsuit against the Yes Men, who infuriated the business group by posing as Chamber officials in a 2009 prank.

    The Hunton attorney who appears most frequently in the trove of e-mails is John W. Woods, who, according to his Hunton bio, "regularly counsels clients on ... electronic surveillance" and "has a particular focus in advising corporations in the legal response to network security intrusions and data breaches."
