    Well good for you. Let's see how this plays out then. It can be no worse than Clinton or the village idiot Johnson (who by the way gave libertarians NO shot to win anything any time soon)

    None of which regards the very real possibility that Conway will be subjected to sanctions by the DC Bar Association for habitual untruthfulness and unethical behavior.

    She'd better care.

    She's facing sanctions and possible disbarment. Her government career is likely finished.

    And what was her lie? What did she do that was so egregious she should be disbarred? Nothing illegal, the BAR association is ultra liberal and they hate Trump and all who support him.

    To "progressives" all means are justified in destroying the people they hate.

    Look, I am not one bit worried that a show on CNN and Mika refuses to let Kellyann on their shows. It proves to me that all that means is that CNN show and the MSNBC Morning Joe are just shows.

    After scanning through this thread, its clear this is (as expected) a "big bag of nutin' " A lot of "progressives" spewing hate and hypocrisy, nothing new about that.

    I not worried about that either. What I'm worried about is that another member of Trump's flawed staff has been caught habitually lying and engaged in unethical behavior. It took a complaint from her peers to motivate the Trump administration to silence her and remove her from the public eye.

    Nixon basically said the same thing.

    So far they haven't lied their ass off to pass any laws. They haven't tried to cover up the motivations for an attack by blaming it on a video. They haven't lied to start a war or raised our taxes. I'd say currently they are head and shoulders above previous administrations.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Hahahahahahahaha. Keep dreaming snowflake. What I do find interesting is the left wants to force Trump out of office. They spent 8 years crying because McConnell wanted Obama to be a one term President but now they are actively trying to remove Trump from office. Talk about a danger to the republic, the left is running headlong toward the destruction of our system. But then that's their ultimate goal anyway isn't it.

    Likely before the DC equivalent of an attorney's professional responsibility board.

    We're not talking about former President Clinton. Of course, you are more than welcome to start a thread about him if you so choose.

    First off, I didn't whine. And either stay on topic or have the courtesy to start a new thread regarding the Clinton's and/or Obama.

    I asked in what COURT did she engage in unethical behavior?

    We're not talking Nixon but you injected him.

    So Cljnton walked into a federal court and a federal gand jury and commited perjury and obstruction of justice and it did not end hisbpolitical career and in fact the Demoxrats wouldnhave run him again had they be able to and were hoping he would end up on the supreme court.

    And now this trivial specious matter?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Of course you did and if you get to inject Nixon I get to inject Clinton.

    Have a read of the actual complaint letter. http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/do...st-white-house-counsel-kellyanne-conway/2346/

    I can't copy and paste from it, but basically the rule in question does not require the misconduct to be part of the practice of law nor involve criminal conduct. The complainants suggest that the rule should not be applied generally, but only to Ms Conway in respect to her position as advisor to the President.

    It would be an interesting extension of the bar rules...

    A soon as I saw "law professors" the law suit lost al credibility.

    academia needs to grow up, shut up, or at the very least put up.

    Read it. They having a compelling case for, at a minimum, professionally sanctioning Conway.

    The President hasn't the authority to pardon unprofessional and/or unethical conduct by a member of the Bar.

    Don't these professors have more important and productive things to focus on? Like actually studying ethical and moral philosophy to pass on their legal wisdom and teachings to the young minds of America? I think the greatest weakness in the legal profession is the lack of ethical and moral philosophical training.

    "Extension" talk about a stretch. Again she is NOT a legal counsel, she is not functioning as a lawyer, was not hired as a lawyer and as someone else noted does not even have a current license to practice law.

    This letter of complaint is ridiculous. They will have to do much better than that.

    Agreed, ridiculous.

    I'm not sure they can do much better. Just Google a few of the signatories to the complaint.

    Really they should be focusing on their students, this is obsessive anti-Trump behaviour now.
