She was not “fired”. The work of the committee was over and thus all those hired, no longer had a job. Zeifman confirmed this years ago. The fact that he did not recommend her for another job in DC was the kiss of death for her as the word was quickly out. DC is a small town in those circles.
so what does she do? She flees DC, marries Bill and finds a Bar exam there that she can pass. (She already failed the DC Exam)
"She already failed the DC Exam"
What the ....? I was not at the top of my law school class (not even close) and I thought the DC exam was relatively easy- you just had to study. Well, OK then, maybe I have my answer.
