[Liberal] Law Professors File 'Misconduct Complaint' Against White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway
Washington Post ^ | February 23 at 3:13 PM | By Sari Horwitz

Posted on 02/23/2017 2:49:31 PM PST by drewh

A group of law professors from around the country has filed a professional misconduct complaint against White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, a graduate of George Washington University Law School who was admitted to the D.C. Bar in 1995.

The letter, filed with the office that handles misconduct by members of the D.C. Bar, said Conway should be sanctioned for violating government ethics rules and “conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation,” the letter says.

The 15 professors, who specialize in legal ethics, cite several incidents, including a television interview in which Conway made the “false statement that President Barack Obama had ‘banned’ Iraqi refugees from coming into the United States for six months following the ‘Bowling Green Massacre,’ ” and the use of her position to endorse Ivanka Trump products.

“We do not file this complaint lightly,” the professors said in their filing. “We believe that, at one time, Ms. Conway, understood her ethical responsibilities as a lawyer and abided by them. But she is currently acting in a way that brings shame upon the legal profession.”

The professors teach at law schools such as Georgetown University Law Center, Yale Law School, Fordham University and Duke University.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I think these schools need to be investigated for their compliance with all health, safety and work rules and tax laws.

Think if how low in regard we hold most lawyers.

Divide by one thousand.

Subtract two or three infinities.

That is the regard for a liberal law “professor”.

Identify them, hire investigators to find dirt on them and go after them. Hit one of ours, destroy five of theirs. Only thing they understand.

By all means, if they have evidence that Ms. Conway abused her attorney-client relationships, have at it. However, if the so-called abuses occurred outside that relationship, then an entirely different standard applies and ninety percent or more of all attorneys would be in trouble under the same standard.

Countersue. With such deluded arguments, and patently obvious political motivation, there’s bound to be something that could be used against them.

Since taking down Flynn, they will be targeting anyone that is a true supporter of Trump and his policies.

If the NY slimes and Washington Compost can report FAKE news constantly on page one and reverse it later on page 16 simply saying we made a mistake, then so can anyone else.

this is the final proof that when all else fails, the liberals will use the courts to impose their will upon the public. By using the courts they by default use the weapons and enforcement of the government to do their bidding.

So there we are. There it is. At the point of a gun enforcing the proclamations against the will of the governed.

Well that’s certainly something, huh?
