I am a member of the DC Bar. There are something like 108,000 members of the DC bar throughout all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia.
The ‘Rats acted unethically by publicly disclosing that they filed a complaint against Barr with the DC Bar.
Interestingly, this will raise a constitutional question as to whether the DC Home Rule Charter (DC’s de facto “constitution”) is federally constitutional, by putting an official appointed by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals (a different court than the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit), the so-called “Bar Counsel” (the head of the bar disciplinary office) in a position to prosecute the disbarment of the federal attorney general.
Interesting.
