Poor Scooter:
A Washington, D.C., radio station reports that I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby Jr., the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, has been disbarred.
A three-judge panel on the D.C. Court of Appeals stripped Libby of his ability to practice law after he was found guilty last year of obstructing the investigation in the CIA leak investigation, WTOP radio reported.
Bush commuted Libby’s 2 1/2 year federal prison sentence last year.
I guess they’ll have to up his salary at the Hudson Institute, or wherever.
Coming soon from Wingnutland: How disbarment is unfair to Scooter because Bill and Hillary should have been thrown in jail for a billion, billion years for obstructing justice when they had Secret Gubment Ninjas(tm) kill Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and William F. Buckley.
Gubment Ninjas- they’re the worst kind.
It’s likely that he was admitted elsewhere. Hopefully, any other jurisdiction(s) would act in a similar fashion
Let’s hope other state bars will follow DC’s precedent.
