Colorado's federal trial court on Thursday disbarred an attorney who spoke favorably about the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, called for former Vice President Mike Pence to be subjected to firing squads and claimed he had evidence of fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

    “I have been afforded NO due process by the Committee. I have committed no ethical violation and am guilty of no wrongdoing,” he wrote.

    “Mr. Wood claims that he was ‘afforded NO due process,’” the order read, “but he does not explain why his opportunity to respond to the Committee’s recommendation is not sufficient due process. Moreover, he asks for no additional process in his response.”

        I mean they currently are claiming this is Biden weaponizing the law even though most of his trials are at the state level. At this point I feel being Trump’s lawyer will end in disbarment due to the need to stretch the truth til it snaps to keep trump out of jail .
