"He has a B.A. in Political Science from the U of FL, and ***a law degree from George Washington U.***."

Earning a law degree doesn't make you a lawyer, passing the bar exam does. The fact that his bio states that he earned the degree, and doesn't mention that he is a lawyer, usually means that he flunked the bar exam. Running for congress, flipping burgers, and shoveling manure are all good careers for students that flunk the bar exam.

I don’t doubt that he didn’t pass the bar exam. If he even tried to pass it, and I don’t know if he cared one way or the other enough to take it. His aim was always to get where he is in politics, and his lack of passing the bar never stopped him.

If I gave the impression I was saying he has a license to practice law, I didn’t intend to.

I was posting what I found out about his background from his own official bio, as it might relate to what he knows or doesn’t about the law.

But in the end, I pointed out that these people don’t care what is true or what is legal, no matter what their backgrounds.

They are trying to fool the public.
