The New York City bar goes after William Barr

Cool. Let's do this. Then those four attorneys can explain to the public and to the DOJ IG why they lied to their superiors about what sentence they intended to recommend to the court.

After all that is done, we can see if the New York City Bar will have the honesty to take those attorneys to task for THEIR dishonesty.

On the other hand, perhaps the New York City Bar should just mind their own business.

...only after this one DP poster explains the bolded statement to us all .... with a credible cite to back up his claim
 
First the AG has to have a license to practice law. It is a requirement. And he would not longer be able to practice law once he leaves the government.

Only if he wants to practice law in NY City.

The NY City Bar cannot prevent him from practicing law anywhere else.
 
Of the bolded I'm aware. I was not aware of Barr's NY ties, nor was I aware of a federal bar (but it does make sense). Thanks, again.

If I recall correctly, Barr, after leaving law school served as a NY Appellate Court judge's law secretary while waiting to hear on passing or not of the NY State Bar Exam. He then went on to work at a major international law firm with offices in multiple states. The Federal Bar admission requires good standing in a state bar association and sponsorship by a sitting Federal judge. One cannot represent clients in most Federal courts without membership in the Federal Bar, tho some districts do not have that restriction for attorneys that nominally practice in the same district.

During one year, 31 lawyers from the Long Island City Lawyers Club, an informal club of male only attorneys who either practiced or grew up in Long Island City or Astoria in Queens, NY, took a charter bus to Washington DC for admission to the Federal Bar. One of their members, Louis Moreno, had received an appointment to a Federal District judgeship and immediately sponsored all of them subsequent to his own swearing in. The admission took 15 minutes for all of them at 9:45 am. By noon the bus had brought them to the recently opened Atlantic City casinos, where they stayed overnight, and not in any hotels. They all returned to Queens, broke but happy. :) Plaques showing their admission to the Federal Bar, hanging in their offices, impressed their clients, most of whom never had call for representation in Federal Courts, other than IRS hearings where their accountants represented them.

Boys just want to have fun. As one of the 7 unofficial non lawyer members of the club, I went along for the ride, but only because I paid for the bus and brought bottles of booze for the trip. Louis resigned from the judgeship a year later, for the more remunerative position as Queens County Surrogate's Judge for a 15 year career. Many of the members of the Long Island City Lawyers Club received estate administrative appointments during Louis's tenure, with very remunerative fees. I myself received numerous surrogates investigative cases (tracing heirs) for my security company during Louis's tenure. Louis's wife loved me for my generous donations to the Queens County Cancer Society which she chaired. Politics at work.

Hey, what's your evidence the prosecutors lied to their superior, the U.S. attorney for D.C., who is the person who signed the sentencing memo and submitted it to the court under his own name? Thanks!

This is an extraordinary request by the NYC Bar. Only the respective State Bar Association can reprimand a practicing attorney and a city bar requesting House and Senate investigations rarely if ever happens.

It is also possible that the New York State Bar Association will independently look into the Barr/Stone sentencing event of this past week.

This is politically motivated.

NO, but lasing you license for violating ethics codes in one state would make it very difficult to get a license in another state and they may make him take the Bar exam in the new state whcih is very difficult right out of law school and very, very, very difficult this many years later. Good example is Bill Clinton.

It's partisan poppycock. Barr was dealing with US Attorneys which are Federal servants under his supervision.

They can not do so as the 7-9 years was the sentencing guidelines for Stone's convictions. The exact Federal Sentencing guidelines. It is up to the judge then to go with them or more or less, but the ones put forward were the exact sentencing guidelines.
 
I always find it interesting that Trump supporters don't even defend his corruption anymore, they just immediately go on the attack and make up fantastical lies about others. This is one of the swampiest and corrupt things Donald has done to date.

Do you support the next Democratic president getting involved into court cases of his friends and enemies alike?

There's no corruption here to defend. You guys need to grasp that the definition of "corrupt" is NOT "anything I disagree with or makes me unhappy". As Mycroft says above, when a subordinate lies to a superior the superior is not only within his rights but also has a duty to correct him.

I support federal employees doing there jobs faithfully and professionally and not lying to their superiors. Don't you?

Hey, they gotta defend themselves from the MS 13 in Congress.
 
So you think Trump getting involved in Stone's case and trying to get his sentence reduced because he's a friend isn't corruption? So then you support the next Democratic president getting involved in court cases to save his buddies while using the justice department to attack his enemies? Somehow I doubt it. You're not a man of convictions, you lie every chance you get because you have an agenda.
Uh, this is Barr doing it. His people lied to HIM and he's correcting them. Barr, btw, doesn't like Trump's tweets on the case.
 
They were following sentencing guidelines, you know the kind that were started by Reagan.
Then why did they tell their boss one thing and then do another? I'd guess what they told their boss was within sentencing guidelines as well.
 
Thought problem: If Barr had "interfered" in opposite direction, .e.g. if he had ordered a stiffer sentence would all the Trumpophobes on the thread be pissing and moaning about Barr's actions?

We aren't talking about a "State Bar". We are talking about a "City Bar". Nobody cares what the NY City Bar does.

Hell, the NY State Bar probably doesn't care about the NY City Bar.

Gosh, it's amazing how effective the right wing is in pushing a lie, and then it's immediately accepted as 'truth' by the faithful.

If "they" are the career prosecutors, then their boss is the U.S. attorney for D.C. who is Timothy Shea. It's Mr. Shea, i.e. the boss and top appointed official in D.C. appointed by AG Barr, who signed the sentencing memo and submitted it to the court under his name.

So can you explain, since no one else can, how the line prosecutors "lied" to their boss who signed the sentencing memo?
 
The toady William Barr better care. His license to practice law depends on the New York Bar Association.

No law license, no Justice Department job.

He doesn't practice law in the state of New York. Sorry. He only holds a license in New York for the Appellate Division Department.

His license to practice is with the DC Bar.

1. Nobody is going to “stick” Stone for any time he doesn’t deserve.

2. The saying is “you have another think coming”.

3. Stone wasn’t convicted of murder, he was convicted of obstruction, lying to Congress, and witness tampering. If he gets 9 years he should consider himself very lucky.

Sorry, Ain't gonna happen. If they get stupid Trump will just pardon him. They aren't going to give the guy 9 years for this BS.

"A lot of people are saying"...

Yep. I will continue to call out unsubstantiated claims, which most of these people can't defend because it would require them to show us the smut they are reading, and they know I would shame them for getting their news from fact-free political smut sites..... and, when they don't post it, we just get to take that as proof that there wild A statements are not true..... because they are not true.

The biggest threat to American democracy right now are all of these yahoos that get their news from fact-free zones and don't have the good sense verify what they read. It is ok to have your own opinion, but its not ok to have your own facts. Too many posters on this site operate with their own facts. We should always make posters substantiate their claims. They will either stop poster or learn something; at least the smart ones will.

Yes, if Barr did the opposite of what his boss told him to do, that's a significant change in the facts indicating independence, versus Barr being an errand boy. And yes, for most of us when the facts change, the conclusion to draw from those different facts can also change.

Not even close to the point. Mostly left wing bull**** about Barr doing Trump's bidding. Why would Barr speaking out publicly that Trump's tweets were making it "impossible" to do his job IF Trump were calling the shots?

Because the "job" he was talking about was the "job" of concealing Trumps corruption. To be fair to Barr it is difficult to conceal corruption when your co-conspirator is tweeting about it.
