Ladies and gentlemen, the next chapter of the Halligan sh*t show has now begun:
>>>Lindsey Halligan, the former U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia who brought criminal cases against President Trump’s enemies over the objections of career prosecutors, is under investigation by Florida’s bar association . . . . An investigation by Florida’s bar association could lead to disbarment, but the process is rigorous and often takes years. . . .
Still, the prospect of Ms. Halligan losing her license could serve as a check on administration lawyers who have been accused by judges of pushing the boundaries of the law or intentionally misleading the courts, which has happened frequently in recent months. It could also deter attorneys considering working for the Justice Department, which is eagerly looking to hire to replace the many employees who quit or were fired last year.<<<
As a practical matter, lawyers are typically not disbarred unless they steal from their own clients or completely fail to take even minimal steps to protect their clients.
On the other hand, it's not unnusual for lawyers to be hit with disciplinary actions short of being disbarred, and this is typically a huge hit on the lawyer's professional reputation and career prospects.
