The job description of the attorney general tells us that the attorney general must have a license to practice law. In order to represent the United States in legal matters and/or to provide legal advice, the attorney general must be qualified to do so. In the US, in order to provide legal advice, you need to be a licensed attorney. While the job description may not state that the person must be a licensed attorney, the requirements of the job make it a necessity.
Disbarment may be imposed by the state bar association if a lawyer commits an offense that directly relates to his or her fitness to practice law. Such offenses may include dishonesty, fraud, felony, substance abuse, abuse of public office, or “conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice.” William Barr is licensed with the DC Bar. The code of professional responsibility details conflicts, some of which are not waivable. Failure to follow the Code leads to disciplinary action. A governmental waiver is meaningless for the Code. Violations can be reported to the DC Bar.
I am not an attorney, I don’t play one on TV, I have used the services of attorney’s perhaps once or twice in my lifetime, and actually, some of my best friends were and are attorneys! I am an American citizen, a student of history and the laws from which nation supposedly follows according to the US Constitution. From Presidents Eisenhower to the man now hacked into the office of President, (a man whose own history hiring and firing, bad-mouthing, abusing, and using over at least 100 different attorneys,) I have either lived through quite an array of persons nominated to the Cabinet position of Attorney General. I watched as John Mitchel lied for Richard Nixon, Janet reno permit the Senate to act upon its Impeachment intentions, Ed Meese avoid the foibles and failures of Ronald Reagan, and Alberto Gonzales agrees that waterboarding is not a form of torture. I even watched as Jeffrey Sessions tried his darndest to gain some modicum of honesty by recusing himself…But in my 70 years of an American citizen, I have never witnessed a more corrupt, criminally minded, Attorney General as William Barr, decided to hell with the American people, he would become Trump’s personal attorney just as were and are the criminally corrupt cadre of lawyers such as Roy Cohn, RUDY, Michael Cohen, Jay Sekulow and the ever 15-minute purveyor of shame Alan Dershowitz!
So, with this recent turn of events regarding Roger Stone’s crime and punishment, and Willie (Roy Cohn) Barr intended intervention to ignore a Jury’s findings and listen to Trump's plea disregarding precedent for the president’s disgusting of hiding the truth, and ALL of his attempts to keep the Congress from issuing subpoenas, why hasn’t Barr been DISBARRED. To begin from the beginning, if the Attorney general needs a license to become the Attorney General, and Barr is DISBARRED, should it not be case closed he is out of a job! So DC, do your thing!
