The allegations and admissions of professional misconduct and criminal conduct by the Trump lawyers in these election challenges and other litigation, coupled with examination of their professional profiles, state Rules of Professional Conduct, the American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct, and data on discipline of attorneys suggest that market incentives and structural weaknesses in current legal education and in the practice environment might encourage or, at least, leave ample room for misconduct.
The bar association is a private group, not a government organization. They can do whatever they want. They’re a group of lawyers. Why would they be afraid of someone suing them? They live in court.
They don’t want to disbar people who are politically connected. It might lose them business. That’s the answer.
