It wouldn't surprise me if Clinton cut a deal with the bar, such that it would lift the suspension but Clinton would then voluntarily retire his license or at least go on "inactive" status. He has never really practiced law anyhow, so this would cost him nothing, and if it spares him from publicly having to jump through some hoops to have his license reinstated, so much the better from his standpoint.
