Here was her one chance to mitigate her violation. Show contrition. Instead she is representing herself and blaming "advisors" on a slam dunk prohibition. Another poor choice.

This is nonsense. No lawyer would tell her she can call herself a lawyer if she failed the bar exam. Not one. She has allowed herself to be held out as a lawyer. Lawyer means lawyer. Attorney at law means lawyer. General counsel means lawyer. Legal advisor means lawyer. She needs ....a lawyer.

Katie you earned a JD but did you pad your resume? Claiming to be an authorized lawyer when you are not is a serious misrepresentation which would disqualify you from ever becoming one. You have now represented that you indeed passed a bar exam. Now is your one shot to tell us the truth.

Pretending to have been a lawyer (practicing while in China, no less) should torpedo her even if she could read her lines cleanly. So far no actual law license has come to light and they are very public records.

🚨 WOW: WSJ reports Ken Paxton partied in a luxury Dubai high-rise with 2 FUGITIVES, Anosh Ahmed and Sameer Suhail, facing fed charges over an alleged $15 MILLION hospital embezzlement scheme — alongside his gf (not his wife). Ahmed donated $190K to Paxton, including $25K AFTER his indictment.

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

Irish Family Gives Donald Trump a Giant “FXCK TRUMP” Welcome
An Irish family placed its unmistakable message beneath Trump’s flight path as protesters challenged a presidential visit built suspiciously like a golf weekend. Donald Trump arrived in Ireland on Saturday for meetings with political leaders before travelling to the Irish Open and spending the weekend at his Doonbeg golf resort. One household near Shannon Airport prepared a less ceremonial item for the presidential itinerary. Huge painted letters covering the family’s property read “FXCK TRUMP,” creating a welcome intended to be seen from the air. A traditionalist might ask why they did not use the more distinctly Irish “FECK.” Evidently, this was not considered an occasion for restraint.

A lawyer admitted in federal court can be disciplined by the federal court by referral to the court's executive committee. A state court can charge too in a parallel disciplinary case. Both courts have jurisdiction. Disbarment as it is commonly seen is done in the state of license but only.

Judge giving a briefing on a defense motion for dismissal with prejudice is restraint and makes a record and may smoke out the DOJ on lack of good cause to oppose the dismissal with prejudice. This will be interesting. Don't give up the ship folks!

Based on the factual admissions of the motion itself, the without prejudice prayer is frivolous and evidences indifference to justice if not malice. It is a figleaf attempt at ethical mitigation which no reasonable judge would grant. Keep punching!

Exactly! The law licenses are on the line every time a lawyer steps up in federal court. The line DOJ lawyers collectively said we need to act with candor or else we are withdrawing and making it noisy. This is ethical self preservation in play. Pirro is protecting her Judge Jeannine brand too.
