I am seriously surprised. I wonder if the Bar there in New York will be bullied into reversing this decision.

They’ll fight it...and win.After all,they were speaking truth to power. In their fight they’ll cite the public statements of every prominent Rat Party hack praising the rioters and calling for many more,nationwide.

It sounds like it could be an automatic disbarment for a felony conviction.

Why would that matter? Like I said...every damn Rat Party hack,from Bella Pelosi,to Heels Up Harris to Occasional Cortex was cheering the rioters on and calling for more.

So,these punk lawyers just say "I was only following orders"...and they'd be correct.

Yeah, they were "mob lawyers," not "Mob Lawyers." Big difference in status.
