Formal complaint seeks disbarment of Eric Holder in DC
Daily Caller ^ | 9 July 2012 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 07/09/2012 11:53:52 AM PDT by Fractal Trader

Attorney General Eric Holder could lose his license to practice law in the District of Columbia, or face some other penalty from the D.C. Bar, now that he has been found in criminal and civil contempt of Congress.

Last week, the bloggers who first exposed Operation Fast and Furious, Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea, filed a formal complaint with the Washington, D.C. Office of Bar Counsel alleging that Holder committed “professional misconduct” during the congressional investigation into the scandal.

Because Holder was found in contempt of Congress for his “refusal to comply with a subpoena duly issued by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform,” Vanderboegh and Codrea contend, “[i]t would appear that several, if not all of these rules [the D.C. Bar’s rules of professional conduct], have been violated.”

Wallace “Gene” Shipp in the Office of Bar Counsel told The Daily Caller that he can’t confirm or deny the receipt of any specific complaint.

Vanderboegh and Codrea each published the complaint they jointly registered on their individual blogs “[b]ecause of the serious political ramifications involved, and because some on the Board may be sympathetic to AG Holder’s positions and hostile to those of the House contempt charges, and in order to ensure that this complaint receives proper attention and is not ignored through deliberate indifference.”

This sounds a lot like the Chicago way. When you can’t get in the front door, come in the side or back entrance. Similar to getting Capone on Tax Evasion!

Disbar, file suit, court order the files, get files, find the evidence, indict, try, convict, send to prison.

That’s the path this needs to take for Holder...and hopefully, as all of the truth comes out, for quite a few others of these treasonous bastards...right up to Obama who is not only figuratively a bastard, but also one by the strict definition of the word.

Oops. You forgot one step that is likely to happen next January: THE PARDON OF ERIC HOLDER.

Nope...if it takes the course I expect, there will be no time to even get a court order for the files before Obama is defeated and out of office. Any indictment needs to occur well after January of next year...or longer.

Well, since BO and MO lost their licenses, I guess he will fit right in.

Even if not acted upon it is still a part of his “official” record at the Bar association...My suggestion is more people file complaint....The heavier his file the more likely it will eventually tip over and sink the boat.

Would be kind of rich to have a disbarred Attorney General.
