obama and wife were both either disbarred or turned in their licenses, why can’t we know why
we do know a lot. What we don't know is why it is never mentioned, especially in the media.
Michelle was ordered off the bar when a client she was representing committed fraud. She has the opportunity to be readmitted after establishing her ignorance of the client's action in a Bar Hearing and updating her Continuing Education credits. She has not chosen to do so.
Barry is another kettle of legal fish. He was offered a deal by the Illinois Bar: resign permanently or face Disciplinary Hearings. He resigned, with NO chance of reinstatement. In exchange for his resignation, the Bar sealed all records of the affair. Fairly standard deal in such cases. It is also technically correct to say that he surrendered his law license voluntarily!
Background: Until 2008, his Illinois Bar Application (as was Michelle's) was on line. In his application, many answers he gave are at variance with personal data found in the "autobiography," or legend created for him by Bill Ayers.
E.G., On the app, Barry denied ever using an "alias." In the book, several are mentioned. On the app, he denied drug use. In the book, it is spelled out in detail. He denied any violation of the law, including traffic misdemeanors. He had many which had gone unanswered. (They were paid off during the campaign.) It is my speculation that during the only matter ever handled by Barry before the courts, an opposing attorney noted these discrepancies and brought them to the court's attention. Apparently, Barack never read his own 'autobiography.'
Even more mysterious is why America's first legal family has escaped media scrutiny over these lapses in professional conduct. Neither of the Obamas was known for legal skill, and except for the single cases that led to their downfall in the profession, neither was ever entrusted by their firms with sole responsibility for a client in any legal case.
We know. Few others do ... or refuse to admit it.
