@MarkThatLawGuy I’d argue that most disbarments occur because of the reasons you listed. I suspect many in this situation experience a subconscious self-destructive catch-22 - choosing to walk away from the law feels like a failure too. So they stay until a suspension, disbarment, or suicide.
When my hometown church disaffiliated last year, I had no idea it would lead to my exploration of my own deacon candidacy. Attended the Thursday & Friday sessions of my first ever #NCCUMC Annual Conference as a guest while I continue to discern my calling. 🙂
You're seeing in real time how disinformation works. This is an outright, intentional lie from someone who knows better.
Governor Abbott graduated from Vanderbilt Law, was a Supreme Court Justice in Texas, and was the Attorney General. He knows that Trump was not indicted by the DOJ or by President Biden, but by a grand jury of Floridians who heard the evidence presented and made a decision based on the rule of law. The DOJ or a President cannot 'indict' anyone at their whim.
I'm sure this isn't the first time you've seen this claim on your feed today. This lie is the passed around talking point that's being pushed out to allied Senators, Members of Congress, and Governors to repeat over and over again in hopes folks don't know any better — to distract from the substance of the indictment. It is a distraction from an action that deserves no excuses.
Unfortunately for all of them, lies only support a cracking foundation for so long.
Let’s walk through this blow by blow, since it appears to be the last-ditch argument the GOP wants to try to hang its hat on:
Why is the Hillary situation different from the Trump situation and why is it *not* a double standard to charge Trump and not Hillary? (1/)
He put his bag down to go throw something in the trash and was accused of stealing his own bag when he returned to it. It wasn’t until a white woman stepped in that the police believed him.
The rise in teacher vacancies is a direct result of over a decade of NCGOP dismantling our public schools. NC is now 46th in starting teacher salaries. This was a choice- Republicans chose to Fund Companies, not Classrooms. #MillionairesFirst#ncpol#ncga

“The prosecutor[] ... urged the jurors to impose the death penalty rather than send Pace to prison for life because ‘if anal sodomy is your thing, prison isn’t a bad place to be.’ The despicable nature of this comment speaks for itself.” #Georgia#deathpenalty
