Icommend Mario Loyola for his comprehensive, compelling explanation of why it is outrageous for the District of Columbia bar to attempt to suspend Jeffrey Clark from practicing law — indeed, why it is outrageous for the courts of the District of Columbia, which are creatures of statutes enacted by the federal legislative branch, to intrude into the deliberations of the federal executive branch’s top echelon.
As Mario contends, the irony is that, under the guise of enforcing legal ethics, the bar is flagrantly violating well-known legal privileges, under the preposterous rubric of “attempted intentional dishonesty.” That is to say, under circumstances in which it is not enough to say there was no criminal misconduct because there was nothing close to the commission of criminal misconduct. In other words, this is lawfare through and through. It’s shameful.
