Why you shouldn’t trust Danny Sheehan or anyone who promotes him.

I think this needs to be posted again since clearly people still haven’t gotten the message.

It’s frustrating to see how easily this community is fooled by people who make huge claims without any evidence to support them.

A great example is Danny Sheehan. He has a cult-like following here, and him and his followers rely solely on his alleged “legendary legal career” for his credibility.

Right off the bat, this is a fallacy known as Appeal to Authority, which uses the argument that because someone is an expert, a claim they make must be true—despite them not being an expert in this specific field.

It’s no different than saying “my uncle is a physicist, and he says I have diabetes, so it must be true because he’s an expert!”

Aside from that, let’s actually examine his so-called “legendary legal career”.

For example, one of his most famous cases, Avirgan v. Hall (aka Iran Contra)—which he frames as having some world-changing role in—he lost in an absolute disaster. His firm, The Christic Institute, was fined a million dollars by the court for filing a frivolous lawsuit, and was ultimately dissolved and succeeded by The Romero Institute, which has now basically become New Paradigm Institute.
