One of Philip Morris's key lawyers from the Washington law firm of Arnold & Porter.

:{:{ • Quinn was a lawyer-lobbyist with the law firm, Arnold & Porter, which provided legal consulting work at the boardroom level with Philip Morris; the two companies have long been tightly allied. In the early 1990s, Quinn began to establish a reputation as a tobacco industry strategist by working closely with the law-firm's 'grassroots PR agency'}: APCO & Associates:{, which originally provided exclusive services to Philip Morris.}:
}:
:{His main associates at Philip Morris USA (the domestic company) were the executives Ellen Merlo and Steve Parrish who ran the division dealing with Science & Technology and with Smoking & Health issues. Quinn was the legal consultant on the formation and operations of The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition :{(TASSC}:)which promoted the 'junk-science' message to the gullible, and he worked on both the tort-reform projects and Steve Milloy's later junkscience Internet projects.:{ At the same time he was actively supporting the Democrats, and he became a key advisor to Al Gore and worked on his Democrat presidential campaign.}:
}:
:{When Bill Clinton became President in January 1992 Quinn became Al Gore's Chief-of-Staff and a few years later he transferred over to the Clinton White House to provide support as Counsel to the President. He didn't last long. Quinn left mid-term to set up his own lobbying outfit "And makes some real money," as he explained to friends.:{ }::{}:
}:
:{However, he retained close ties with the White House and with his friend the Deputy Attorney-General Eric Holder (now Attorney-General in the Obama Administration), :{}:
}:
He is blamed for having advised President Clinton and Attorney-General Holder to give the renegade financial rip-off merchant Marc Rich a pardons in the final days of the Clinton Presidency, which did more to sully Clinton's reputation than Whitewater. This was only one of 140 pardons that Clinton granted in his last hours in office, but Rich's ex-wife Denise was a major political contributor who reportedly donated $450,000 to the Clinton library foundation. Rich's lawyer, amazingly, was later the aide to George Bush, Scooter Libbyand Mrs. Rich later made large contributions to Hillary Clinton's successful Senate bid.
Quinn joined Republican strategist Ed Gillespie (A long-term lobbyist with the Republican lobby shop Halley Balfour) in creating a highly successful 'bipartisan' lobby firm under the name Quinn Gillespie & Associates (aka QGA) which was later merged into giant media conglomerate,:{ WPP.:{ }::{}:
}:
Gillespie himself was employed as counsel in the White House of George W Bush, so this bipartisan merger gave the firm considerable insider advantage whichever party holds the Presidency.
