DC lawyers' disciplinary board says ex-DOJ official Jeffrey Clark lied in his attempts to overturn 2020 election

 

Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, whom Donald Trump wanted to install as attorney general so he could use the department to help him overturn the 2020 election, violated his professional code of conduct, the disciplinary office governing lawyers in Washington, DC, said.

 

The DC disciplinary counsel, Hamilton Fox, said Clark was dishonest and attempted to interfere with the administration of justice after the 2020 election, according to the ethics complaint that Fox's office made public on Friday.


The findings and suggestion of "appropriate discipline" will be weighed by ethics officials and the DC Court of Appeals before Clark would be disciplined, which could potentially include disbarment.

Internet troll ‘Baked Alaska’ pleads guilty in Capitol riot

 

A far-right internet personality pleaded guilty Friday to joining the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol, where he streamed live video that incriminated him and other rioters, according to a court filing.

 

Anthime Gionet, known as “Baked Alaska” to his social media followers, faces a maximum sentence of six months imprisonment after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing inside a Capitol building.

 

 

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan is scheduled to sentence Gionet on Jan. 12, 2023.

 

 

The judge had scheduled a March 2023 trial for Gionet after he balked at pleading guilty during an earlier hearing. Sullivan refused to accept a guilty plea by Anthime Gionet in May after he professed his innocence at the start of what was scheduled to be a plea agreement hearing.

 

At the start of Friday’s virtual hearing, defense attorney Zachary Thornley told the judge that a protester was outside Gionet’s Florida home and was recording the proceedings over the telephone, a violation of court rules.

 

“Protesting what?” the judge asked.

 

“I guess him as a person,” Thornley replied.

 

The judge instructed court staff to shut off the telephone line, preventing the public from hearing Gionet enter his guilty plea.

I keep remembering the board's dear, departed, Predicto commenting that pretty much the only way a lawyer gets disbarred is for acting against his client's best interest.

And there's a protester outside "Baked Alaska"'s Florida home?
