Excellent question.
They filed an ethics complaint as lawyers against lawyers.
They are not suing Blasely-Ford but making a complaint against the lawyers that hatched this scheme.
My hope is that the FBI with Sen. Grassley are still investigating Feinstein and others.
JW’s action will at least give lawyers pause to pull this type of stunt again.
Then this action does not involve the judicial system so there are no criminal penalties. Lawyer vs lawyer.
