Bishop Richard Williamson hires , then fires , a lawyer to fight his conviction for Holocaust denial . His superior warned him to dismiss the lawyer . He didn't listen and was convicted of " contempt of court " ( which is basically just saying you don't like what someone has said ). Nahrath would not say when he was hired and would not comment on his political affiliations . The lawyer led a far-right group until it was banned , the German government says .
