[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe Hooligan went to the tabloids and excoriated a federal judge. Hooligan is either colossally stupid or devoid of ethics and common sense. She must really want to never be respected by her peers in the law.[/quote]

She has a BA from Regis University and a law degree from U Miami.  Neither of which fall into the category of highly respected institutions.  She is a former Miss Colorado and was hired by Trump after she met him at his golf club.  None of this is screaming "highly respected lawyer" to me, and while I abhor this waste of taxpayer dollars, it is entertaining to watch her and her team be exposed for the incompetent professionals that they are.

[b]Any chance she can be disbarred for this level of incompetence?[/b][/quote]

If evidence exists that she flat out lied to the court then yes, absolutely, that is an act for which she could be disbarred. It’s a core ethical mandate that attorneys act always with candor to the court.

That said I have seen more than once in my career attorneys lying to the court and getting away with it. If the court doesn’t know then it rests with opposing counsel who does to make the Bar complaint and for various reasons that can be like opening Pandora's box and many would rather not blow up their life by getting involved in trying to hold a peer accountable to professional discipline.

In this case I think there are probably plenty of people who’d jump at the chance to put this Hooligan’s feet to the fire, and Eva Blondi’s too. It’s so much a matter of open, notorious behavior that the cases would not be hard to make and it is a matter of restoring public confidence in the DOJ.[/quote]

There is currently a complaint pending as a result of her handling this.  It was filed November 11 so I imagine it will be amended.
