4. It minimizes the chance that Trump will nominate

him to the Supreme Court. Less shitheads to choose from.

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. Doesn't theoretically minimize his chances at all.

Non-lawyers can be nominated for Federal judgeships.

It's a lifetime appt. No qualifications are in the Constitution.
Not that trump has any problems with violating it, as we have seen.
Justice Miller, anyone?

Disbar all of them

[ToxMarz]

12. His parents must be so proud

I hope they didn't fund his education

[SleeplessinSoCal]

13. He is no doubt sitting pretty.

From wiki: "Chesebro was an early bitcoin investor, netting several million dollars from a 2014 investment. Some former colleagues suggest this newfound wealth triggered his dramatic life-style change; he began to travel extensively, bought houses, divorced, and started donating to Republicans."

14. One of the few things that TSF can't "fix".

[BoRaGard]

16. Will Fox (r) propaganda give this coverage?

[Karasu]

17. The GOP should have ceased to exist as a legitimate political entity after the fake electors plot was exposed.

[ZDU]

18. Karma

19. Richly deserved n/t

[rurallib]

20. And once more someone takes the fall for Trump

Someday I hope to read that mutthafucka is on his way to jail (at Gitmo I hope)

[wryter2000]

23. What was the rush?

This is a good thing.

[flvegan]

24. Somehow, this is Biden's fault. n/t

[markodochartaigh]

27. I think that this one

is Michelle Obama's fault. As part of her healthy diet initiative she wanted to get rid of the Cheese, bro.

25. I am glad that this asshole has been disbarred

[iluvtennis]

26. I wanted jail time for him out of the now defunct Georgia trial, but I'll take this - awesome news! n/t

[Clouds Passing]

28. I hope he's been shamed out of Santa Fe too

29. Maddow Blog-Kenneth Chesebro, 'architect' of pro-Trump 2020 fake elector scheme, disbarred in N.Y.

A judicial panel said the lawyer's misconduct undercut “the very notion of our constitutional democracy that he, as an attorney, swore an oath to uphold.”

The guy who helped create the scandalous fake electors scheme? He’s still dealing with the consequences of his criminal misjudgment.

The guy he was trying to help, who went even further to overturn the results of the election? He’s doing fine — in the Oval Office. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The man widely credited as the “architect” of that scheme is still confronting the consequences of his misjudgment. The Hill reported:

Ex-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, who helped devise President Trump’s alternate electors strategy in 2020, has been disbarred in New York. A panel of judges on the Appellate Division — New York’s midlevel appeals court — ruled Thursday that Chesebro’s guilty plea in Georgia’s probe of efforts to subvert the state’s 2020 election results qualifies as a ‘serious crime,’ a finding that begets disciplinary action.

The judicial panel didn’t pull any punches, concluding that Chesebro’s guilty plea on one felony count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents was “unquestionably serious” and reflected on his “integrity and fitness to continue engaging in the practice of law in New York.”

They added that the Republican’s misconduct undercut “the very notion of our constitutional democracy that he, as an attorney, swore an oath to uphold.”.....

Because both the Georgia and Wisconsin cases relate to state charges, a presidential pardon wouldn’t help him.

Indeed, it’s worth appreciating the unusual nature of the broader circumstances: Chesebro is still being punished for trying to overturn the results of a free and fair American election, while Trump — who went even further to try to overturn that same election — was rewarded with the presidency.

I am glad that Chesebro is no longer a member of the bar
