State of Nevada probes 3 lawyers with a bar.
Smite those douche bags, righteously.
Maybe they’ll give them a bottle of water and make them walk to Utah.

I like what Bond did to the villain in QUantum of Solace. He gave him a quart of oil for the trip.
LOL
Heh heh heh. Flippin’ lawyers using the judicial system to get rich. Put their greedy asses in jail.
Wow, it hardly gets better than this! Even better if criminal charges can be found.
Thanks very much.
I was just reading this.
Detriot based lawfirm with Las Vegas offices.
Seems to spell: MOB?
>> State of Nevada probes 3 lawyers with a bar.
If it proves effective, can we do all the rest of them too?
Can we heat the bar red-hot in an open flame before we probe them?
oh absolutely
And you're being generous at that.
In Nevada, anything of importance involves a bar.
Prolly have a bunch of red hot bars just sitting there waiting for us.
I am thrilled to see this. When I read about this all happening here at FR and at a FRiend’s website, I said eventually they would be dismissed and prohibited from working as lawyers. It doesn’t surprise me at all... It just surprises me that it didn’t take longer to hear of an investigation.
Their audacity and contempt for the law doesn’t really surprise me - the lead guy used to work as a lawyer with Michelle (Robinson) Obama back in Chicago (same firm, same department). I don’t think anyone knows why Michelle Obama forfeited her law license - it wouldn’t surprise me if he might have gotten away with something in the past in relation to that.
Anyway, I hope they make all of these people surrender their licenses (preferably irrevocably).
PING - Don’t know if you had heard of this yet, or not...
Didn’t these dirtbags go after JimRob?
