At what point do public officials need to face professional consequences for their abuses of power?
That’s what an attorney in Maryland is asking, and posing serious questions about former FBI Director James Comey’s credentials as a lawyer in the wake of this week’s memo scandal.
According to The Washington Times, Ty Clevenger has filed a formal grievance to disbar Comey in New York, where the now scandal-plagued ex-director is licensed by the state bar to practice law.
More recently, Democrat President Bill Clinton was disbarred by the state of Arkansas for committing perjury during the Monica Lewinksy scandal.
Clevenger might be taking a long shot against Comey and others in the same circle, but he already has a few successes under his belt.
“Mr. Clevenger is also challenging the bar membership of Mrs. Clinton’s lawyers,” The Washington Times explained.
The attorney already “has won a court order in Maryland demanding the grievance committee there conduct an investigation into David E. Kendall, Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson over allegations they destroyed evidence in the email probe,” the newspaper continued.
It’s a small step toward justice, but at least it’s headed in the right direction.
Establishment players such as James Comey have acted with impunity for far too long. They need to learn one lesson: Nobody is above the law or his sworn duty — not even the director of the FBI. In fact, especially not the director of the FBI.
Being officially disbarred may not be a life-altering event for somebody like Comey, but it’s a professional slap in the face.
It would send a signal that the ex-director’s peers will not tolerate lying and deception. When even the lawyers think you’re slimy, you’ve definitely fallen to a low place.
Does this mean that he won’t be able to teach Ethics at William & Mary no more?
Based on Trump’s executive order I wonder if Trump has it in mind to strip them of their ill gotten gains - especially Hillary!
To Bill & Hill, it's just a building that they don't care about, they've moved on to new aspirations. I'll give a lot of props to Arkansas for going as Republican as they have. At least they have the integrity to recognize how badly they were duped by these vagabonds and are trying not to let it happen again.
I'll leave you with this gem: Arkansas GOP Official: 'She'd Probably Get Shot at the State Line'
A good first step.
Punish as many as possible with heavy fines and earmark all of it to building the wall. Heads will explode!
Duty of candor to the tribunal—first canon of ethics. An attorney’s responsibility to be truthful with the court even outstrips attorney-client privilege.
Comey absolutely deserves to be disbarred.
You’re right. Bill looks like he doesn’t have long for this world. Ta ta.
And, if you lose your job for malfeasance, you ought to lose your pension along with it. As I understand it, Lois Lerner still gets her pension fr’instance. Also assorted congressmen who are dirty.

There should be a lot of lawyers disbarred and/or jailed as a result of their illegal acts.
Syphilis and cocaine mess you up.
I hope so! None of these LOSERS could’ve EVER made it anywhere else but on the Government Teat. It’s maddening!

>>It’s a small step toward justice
It’s not happened yet. I don’t count on it. No faith in the legal system anymore.
Comey should be behind bars
He is a sanctimonious lying traitorous coward
....................and an ethics professor.
is nose candy took hold.
I’m good with the shame of being disbarred.
But prosecuting dirty cop Comey for all the felonies he’s committed is what really needs to happen.
Bill the Rapist Clinton he feels no shame for being impeached and disbarred. He is a malignant narcissist.
Only people with a real moral compass and conscience are capable of feeling shame.
