The disbarrment committee is very likely to disbarr Nifong. Failure to do do might very well lead to a lot of problems for those on the disbarrment committee.
Think about a criminal defense lawyer.. who took on a case that got only local coverage. The prosecutor might very well say something like, "I cannot comment on the quality of the defense council. It is not right for me to do so, but I will tell you that he was on the committee that voted NOT to disbarr Nifong. You may make of that whatever you chose."
A case or two of that and defendants would look for other council.
Or imagine a corporate lawyer telling the head of company that is negotiating with, that they may want to reconsider taking the advice of their attorney... becuase he proved his poor judgement by being on the committee that voted NOT to disbarr Nifong.
