I know a couple are okay but their party doesn't even consider them part of it anymore.

We are unfortunately in the position of mass indictments for many in the opposing politial party, but it's either we act now or lose our country to a fascist cabal global network.

The majority of Americans see the horror, and everyday these traitors are walking free passing laws against the people and our government, the further away our return to normalcy will be.

The DOJ needs to move quicker, before they can't move at all.

Amy Conne-Barrett doesn't even really recognize the Bill of Rights...she couldn't clearly answer what the First Amendment was during her hearing.

This is unbelievable in 2022.

The people we're discussing have shown by their actions that they have no regard for the law or the Constitution at all. Once they've been charged and convicted, disbarment will be an afterthought.

To them their professional standing is a license to commit fraud and theft without consequence.

This makes me smile. This case will go to trial



https://www.courthousenews.com/texas-judge-refuses-to-dismiss-disciplinary-case-against-former-trump-attorney/

A Texas judge refused Wednesday to dismiss a disciplinary action by the State Bar of Texas against former Trump attorney Sidney Powell, who told the judge she is the victim of a “political hitjob” by Democrats.

Collin County District Judge Andrea Bouressa, a Republican, denied Powell’s motion to dismiss in a bench ruling after an hour-long hearing.

“I cannot conclude the plaintiff’s allegations, if taken as true, do not entitle it to the relief sought,” she said.

The state bar’s Commission for Lawyer Discipline sued Powell in neighboring Dallas County in March, after receiving 10 separate complaints against her since 2020. The complainants allege Powell committed professional misconduct in contesting the election of President Joe Biden over former President Donald Trump.

The bar association claims Powell filed federal lawsuits in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin that were frivolous and violated Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 and five subsections of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. It alleges Powell took positions in the litigation that “unreasonably increased the costs” of the cases and “unreasonably delayed” their resolution, including an alleged failure to drop a lawsuit in the Eastern District of Michigan when “requested relief was moot.”

been disbarred. Evidently, being a corrupt lawyer who breaks the law many times over, and is crazy as hell to boot, is still to be allowed to practice law.
