'Doesn't look good for her': Halligan gets warning she could now be disbarred

Lindsey Halligan could face potential disbarment over her actions in the cases involving President Donald Trump's enemies former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, an analyst said Monday.
Bradley Moss, a national security attorney, told CNN that Halligan's career future is now in question.
"It doesn't look good for her in terms of any real idea that she's going to get to remain there, unless somehow they succeed on appeal," Moss said. "But a bigger concern I would have about Lindsey Halligan is a lot of what came out, particularly in the Comey case, about how she presented things to the grand jury, that speaks to potential ethics violation, that speaks to potential disbarment at some point by which ever state bar she's licensed in.
"That's no small thing... that's in real jeopardy from what we learned from this whole case."
United States District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie Monday dismissed the federal government's indictments, citing that Halligan, who was Trump's former personal attorney and appointed to her role as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, was invalid because it was never approved by the Senate.
"This is a mess of their own making and it's the president's personal vendetta and it's blown up in their faces on a Monday morning as we're getting ready for Thanksgiving," Moss added.

This is just a pundit's opinion. I haven't seen an actual effort to get her disbarred.

She should be indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced to work for minimum wage.

She purposefully lied about a material matter to the court and filed a false document that was signed under oath. Think about THIS irony-it was to support a case accusing the defendant of making a material false statement under oath. Hmm
