the president, the House can impeach and the Senate can convict and remove federal employees, e.g. federal judges. Can they do that with cabinet members? If not, why ask Congress to investigate Barr? To what end?

Unless NY State Bar follows suit, this won't mean a loss of license. Just sayin.. hlthe2b Jan 2020 #8

Ted Lieu had done this several months ago NewJeffCT Jan 2020 #10

Somethings wrong with the tweet link! marble falls Jan 2020 #13

Here's the link to the NYC bar's pdf progressoid Jan 2020 #15

Whoa. That sounds more serious than partisan. marble falls Jan 2020 #21

I got it by clicking on the date of the tweet FakeNoose Jan 2020 #19

T'anks! marble falls Jan 2020 #22

The New York Bar doesn't disbar people OliverQ Jan 2020 #16

EVERY BIT OF PRESSURE HELPS. STACK UP THOSE STRAWS UNTIL THEY BREAK EveHammond13 Jan 2020 #18

Even they can't disbar Barrr - Ms. Toad Jan 2020 #32

I don't know what time zone you are in jberryhill Jan 2020 #50

Kick this one. Kingofalldems Jan 2020 #26

Two things you might consider before publishing misrepresentations jberryhill Jan 2020 #28

Ummm . . no. Ms. Toad Jan 2020 #29

The OP did not say they could disbar Mr. Barr. Kingofalldems Jan 2020 #36

What do you think this means: Hot damn!!!! New York Bar is after Fu-Barr's license? Ms. Toad Jan 2020 #43

Some people like misleading headlines jberryhill Jan 2020 #49

Gatekeepers not liking this news--so kick. Kingofalldems Jan 2020 #34

The post is factually false jberryhill Jan 2020 #35

Your post is incorrect. Kingofalldems Jan 2020 #37

Did you read the subject line of the OP? jberryhill Jan 2020 #38

Ahhh--'going after' is does not conflict at all with the tweet. Kingofalldems Jan 2020 #39

The statement "New York Bar is after Fu-Barr's license" is factually false jberryhill Jan 2020 #41

They are after his license by referring to Congress. Kingofalldems Jan 2020 #44

Congress has nothing to do with licensing lawyers. jberryhill Jan 2020 #45

They have something to do with impeaching AGs. Kingofalldems Jan 2020 #46

Why do you suppose the letter does not call for his impeachment, then? jberryhill Jan 2020 #48

Again: Kingofalldems Jan 2020 #51

The request has NOTHING to do with his license. Ms. Toad Jan 2020 #52

They can impeach. Kingofalldems Jan 2020 #58

Not the issue. Ms. Toad Jan 2020 #59

Sure they are. Kingofalldems Jan 2020 #60

Please quote - from their letter - support for the following two propositions you have made: Ms. Toad Jan 2020 #61

What's with the halo around Barr's head? n/t DonaldsRump Jan 2020 #66

As an association of lawyers, Ms. Toad Jan 2020 #53

You're correct wryter2000 Jan 2020 #56

Bar association? wryter2000 Jan 2020 #54
