Federal Appeals Court Suspends Larry Klayman from Practicing Law in D.C.

[tenderfoot]

A federal appeals court on Friday suspended attorney and activist Larry Klayman — the founder of conservative legal organization Judicial Watch — for representing clients on both sides of the same legal dispute with clear conflict of interest implications. In a harshly worded 13-page opinion penned by Judge David S. Tatel, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit imposed a reciprocal 90-day suspension on the Laura Loomer, George Zimmerman, and Joe Arpaio attorney, also referring Klayman’s case to the Committee on Grievances for recommendations “on whether further discipline is warranted.”

1. WOW! Quite the list of "recommendations"

from 'past' clients:

Laura Loomer: an American far-right and anti-Muslim political activist, conspiracy theorist, and internet personality.

George Zimmerman: an American who fatally shot Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, on February 26, 2012.

Joe Arpaio: Who doesn't know "Sheriff Joe?"

Boy, who wouldn't want their attorney saving them from nasty "Lib-Tard" accusations and charges!

Hopefully, this is just the beginning of actions against this disgrace to legal integrity...

2. Oopsy. That reads like a pretty clear ethics violation.

Thus endeth another brilliant legal career.
