Good riddance.
Working for Trump is the fastest way to get disbarred. As of March this year, 17 of his prior attorneys have been sanctioned or disbarred. I don’t know any other individual who has even had more than 17 attorneys.
“All my lawyers are disbarred” is what happens when you take “all my exes are crazy” to the logical conclusion.
When you never pay them, you go through them pretty quickly.
While I completely agree with the sentiment, I wish news publications would avoid judgement words (like “cowardly”) except in opinion pieces. Tell me the facts and let me decide what my judgement is.
That’s being said, I hope they deny the request.
I really disliked how /r/politics allowed submissions from so many obviously biased sources that were largely just opinion pieces. We have an opportunity to build something better here, and make the news only come from reputable sources with a manageable level of bias.
If we want to curb these behaviors, we have to hold them accountable. INAL, but this has to be stopped my the Bar or it means nothing as an organization. If lawyers don’t want to be judged by their worst examples, hold the bad ones accountable. Then maybe, the rest of us will start to respect the Bar more. Same goes for the police.
As a lawyer, the worst punishment the bar can give me is disbarment. What needs to be stopped? He’s giving up his law license voluntarily.
He’s a lier. From his Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._Lin_Wood?wprov=sfla1 Wood has claimed that President Trump won the presidential election with 70% of the vote, and that a secret cabal of international communists, Chinese intelligence, and Republican officials had conspired to steal the election from Trump.
It is not the same consequence as being disbared. He deserves the public shame.
Other lawyers considering similar fuckery are watching, and retirement may be be enough of a deterrent.
Yep, agreed. Neither one should have a retirement loophole for facing consequences.
Any lawyer stupid enough to work pro bono for T***p (by default since he never pays anyone) deserves whatever horrible things happen to them.
Don’t worry, the kraken will come to back him up. Aaaaany day now.
Par for the course. Not surprised at all.
Making Attorneys Get Attorneys
Get fucked, Lin. 🖕
Im no attorney but ‘justice for insurection’ seems incompatible with being able to quit on your own terms.
In fairness, they don’t have to let him. They can reject the request due to the ongoing investigations.
You can’t fire me! I quit!
