A band of more than one dozen law professors are seeking to disbar Kellyanne Conway, a special counselor to President Donald Trump.

 

The conduct complaint sent to the D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel alleges that Conway misled the media as well as “misused her position” when she promoted Ivanka Trump’s products from the White House briefing room. The complaint additionally alleged that Conway committed ethics violations with her use of the phrase “alternative facts” and her reference to the nonexistent “Bowling Green massacre.”

 

Signed by 15 law professors from various institutions around the country, the complaint also states that because Conway holds a public office, she has a “higher obligation to avoid conduct involving in dishonest [sic], fraud, deceit or misrepresentation” than other lawyers.

 

“We do not file this complaint lightly,” the professors wrote. “We believe that, at one time, Ms. Conway, understood her ethical responsibilities as a lawyer and abided by them. But she is currently acting in a way that brings shame upon the legal profession.”

 

“If Ms. Conway were not a lawyer and was ‘only’ engaging in politics, there would be few limits on her conduct outside of the political process itself,” the letter continues. “She could say and do what she wished and still call herself a politician. But she is a lawyer. And her conduct, clearly intentionally violative of the rules that regulate her professional status, cries out for sanctioning by the DC Bar [sic].”

If working for the President is a criteria for getting disbarred, then Eric Holder should have lost his license a long time ago...
