She’s not going to be disbarred without there being some specific proceeding or a legal obligation to maintain or produce the records and then a finding she violated a legal obligation, or destroyed records she was supposed to preserve in connection with a subpoena or proceeding of some kind.
In other words, unlikely. Though it is possible if the records were subject to a subpoena when she erased them.
My thought was the “process” at issue was the subpoena, and the fact she knew she has under subpoena and did not take steps to preserve evidence. I also have been thinking about the sort of written discovery undertaken by the House during any/all Benghazi investigations. Since depos happen, I wonder if Interrogs/RFP were issued demanding production of all documents witnesses possessed relating to the terror attack (I mean, video retaliation).
Well, I figure the threshold for disbarment is way lower than say criminal proceedings, and the legal dictionaries are all pretty clear about spoliation of evidence and adverse inference and spoliation inference.
There doesn’t have to be an actual trial, just a reasonable expectation that the documents would be needed in an investigation.
