Maybe a stupid question, but if Pammy DID "get disbarred," could she still remain head of DOJ? [View all]
I have no idea how any of this works. I assume that if she got disbarred, that would end her DOJ gig.
An ex-Trump attorney said that U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi could be disbarred over potential misconduct in the case against James Comey, former FBI director.
The case was against Comey was never shown to or voted on by a full grand jury before it was presented in open court which could lead to Bondi and Lindsay Halligan, interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia to be disbarred, Ty Cobb, former White House attorney during President Donald Trump's first administration, told MSNBC anchor Chris Jansing on Wednesday.
Comey's defense team argued that development should prevent further prosecution in the case, saying "there is no indictment," and Judge Michael Nachmanoff gave the Department of Justice until 5 p.m. to respond to the revelations.
"Because typically, if an indictment is dismissed, the government has six months to represent, notwithstanding the expiration of the statute of limitations," Cobb said. "This is an indictment, though, that doesn't really have to be dismissed. It doesn't really exist. It was never properly returned. So I think this is I think what we heard today, shocking never, never occurred before in American jurisprudence. I think it was will be dispositive. But on the other hand, there's so many dispositive issues here, including her illegal appointment."
