Who is allowed to practice law in the Swamp? D.C. Bar records show Hunter Biden was admitted to the bar on April 9, 2007. He was still listed in “good standing” as of June 12, the day after he was convicted on three felony gun charges.
On June 14, the Marco Polo group, which published a massive print and online Report on the Biden Laptop, [see excerpts] asked the D.C. Bar to suspend the first son's law license.
“The immediate suspension of Biden's D.C. bar license is required by your own provisions: Section 10(c) of Rule XI states, in relevant part, ‘Upon the filing of certified copy of the record or docket entry demonstrating that an attorney has been found guilty of a serious crime, the Court shall enter an order immediately suspending the attorney,” Marco Polo founder Garrett Ziegler wrote in a letter to the D.C. Bar.
Section 10(b) of the rule identifies a “serious crime” as “any felony.”
“In the chance that Biden has not notified your Office of the conviction (which he is required to do), we are taking the opportunity to do so now,” Ziegler wrote in the letter, which was also signed by president of The Schlafly Eagles and D.C. Bar member Ed Martin, and California Bar member Tyler Nixon.
Wayne L. Johnson, a retired Navy commander and member of the Judge Advocate General Corps, asked the D.C. Bar to take a look at Hunter Biden’s ability to practice.
“The D.C. Bar, nor any other state bar, should want such a low life as a member,” Johnson told The Washington Times. “Hunter is truly a disgrace to the legal profession.”
In the aftermath of the 2020 elections, a massive nationwide “lawfare” campaign has targeted attorneys who worked for in any way supported former President Donald J. Trump. As a result many of those attorney have either been disbarred, forced into retirement or obliged to spend fund far from their means to fight for the right to practice law.
Wikipedia defines the terms as follows:
In the United States, admission to the bar is permission granted by a particular court system to a lawyer to practice law in that system. This is to be distinguished from membership in a bar association. …. Although bar associations historically existed as unincorporated voluntary associations, nearly all bar associations have since been organized (or reorganized) as corporations.
Our complaint to the @DC_Bar yesterday with co-signatories @EagleEdMartin (a fellow DC bar member) & @realTylerNixon (a longtime Biden acquaintance & schoolmate of @HunterBiden at @ArchmereAcademy). @CTBar complaint will be posted shortly. https://t.co/1R5P78JMn3 pic.twitter.com/vr96U9LGC9

The Left has gone hard after any attorney who backed President Donald Trump's contesting of the 2020 election. Several have had their bar licenses suspended.
