Hunter Remains in Good Standing with DC Bar Association

What is that old joke? What do you call 1,000 attorneys at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.

That never seems to have rung truer than the DC Bar Association, which somehow has allowed Hunter Biden to keep his standing.

Even though he is facing numerous felony charges, not to mention the mountain of evidence of wrongdoing against him, Hunter Biden can still practice law in DC.

We See Nothing

We have all seen attorneys lose their licenses to practice for far less, so it is a bit baffling as to how Hunter Biden has managed to hold on to his law license with the legal problems he is currently facing.

The Bar’s notes on its professional code of conduct state, “It is professional misconduct for a lawyer to commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects.

“Many kinds of illegal conduct reflect adversely on fitness to practice law, such as offenses involving fraud and the offense of willful failure to file an income tax return.”

So, Hunter used paid escorts for sex, illegally owned a gun, and dodged taxes, and that is just the tip of the iceberg, but these acts somehow do not violate the code of ethics and conduct by the Bar.

Keep in mind, for the Bar to take action against an attorney, no legal action or conviction needs to take place, as the bar reserves the right to take action against any member as it sees fit.

For instance, Rudy Giuliani had his license suspended by the Bar for his actions related to January 6.

At the very least, the Bar should be running its own investigation into Hunter’s alleged activities, but it just does not seem very interested in doing so right now.
