(1,934 posts)..and I must question what your motives are for they appear to be dis-honest.
: I have a license to act in New York State in a certain area that touches on law (not a lawyer).
That license is 'suspended' and has been for 12 years in exactly the same way a lawyers license (or indeed an electrician's) license can be. It is suspended because I chose to suspend it.
The reason is I have not lived in New York 12 years. I live in another country. I fantasies that I may one return to New York and take up my former career and to do so I can re-activate my license to operate by paying the required fees and completing whatever local government red-tape requires.
Glen Greenwald has explained that his 'suspension' is exactly the same and he can re-activate his license should he wish or need to by similar action.
It is completely dis-honest to mis-interpret as you do facts about his license to operate...it is completely dishonest to make leaps of faith and insinuate that because you have seized upon the use of a word 'suspended' then all sorts of improprieties can be woven into it.
And it is a great mystery why you mock posters on here who support a journalist who exposes illegal wiretapping who did what thousands of lawyers around the country do every day- test the limits of the law- and do not succeed ....and make the spurious claim that he himself illegally wiretapped (he did not : he was not charged or convicted for such an alleged crime) and extrapolate out of the mess that therefore the Government's exposed wiretapping is somehow all OK.
I suspect your motives but I believe the majority of DUers now also suspect such motives and understand why these attempts to derail threads and distort the narrative are underway.
