At what point do public officials need to face professional consequences for their abuses of power?
That’s what an attorney in Maryland is asking, and posing serious questions about former FBI Director James Comey’s credentials as a lawyer in the wake of this week’s memo scandal.
According to The Washington Times, Ty Clevenger has filed a formal grievance to disbar Comey in New York, where the now scandal-plagued ex-director is licensed by the state bar to practice law.
In light of growing evidence that Comey and much of the FBI set out to exonerate Hillary Clinton and undermine Donald Trump based on political bias, Clevenger is claiming that the former FBI chief was dishonest to Congress about the Clinton email investigation.
“Mr. Clevenger said Mr. Comey’s testimony to Congress that he did not predetermine the outcome of the FBI’s probe into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is belied by revelations this week that he in fact started drafting an exoneration months before even speaking with Mrs. Clinton,†The Washington Times reported.

Paging @Oceander
Any chance this could be successful?

Unfortunately, such complaints won’t go anywhere. And that’s not because I believe they shouldn’t, but because the bar disciplinary committees are generally extremely deferential to prosecutors and other government attorneys.
One can always hope, of course, some long as one keeps in mind that such hope is mostly pointless.

Almost none, unfortunately. Google on Jabbar Collins to see what Brooklyn ADA Michael Vecchione did to him; then realize that the NY disciplinary committee refused to do anything to discipline Vecchione for what he did.

Not private practice attorneys. They get into trouble all the time. The weak spot is for government attorneys.

Kinda what I thought. Thanks.
