Ask Jordan: Could Pam Bondi or Lindsey Halligan be disbarred for bringing Trump’s retribution?

[EchoEmu]

Florida's Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan face scrutiny over their roles in bringing politically motivated cases against Trump's enemies. Can they be disbarred for such actions?

The possibility of a case being brought to the state bar against Bondi and Halligan is "yes", but it remains uncertain whether they will be disciplined or disbarred. Florida law requires that attorneys adhere to specific rules, which can lead to sanctions if violated.

However, an initial hurdle in investigating Bondi's conduct is that the Florida Bar refuses to take action, citing its inability to investigate sitting U.S. officers while they are in office. The state Supreme Court recently rejected a bid to force the bar to look into her case, leaving it unclear whether disciplinary measures will be taken after she leaves her position.

Lindsey Halligan, on the other hand, is facing criticism for securing indictments against high-profile Trump critics, including James Comey and Letitia James. As the leader of the U.S. Attorney's office in Virginia, Halligan has been accused of disregarding career prosecutors' objections to bringing these cases.

Halligan's actions have raised questions about whether she violated Florida's rules on prosecution conduct, particularly with regards to disclosing evidence or information that could negate guilt or mitigate an offense. While it is unclear whether specific Brady violations occurred in the Comey and James cases, it seems more likely that Halligan may face disciplinary action for her general failure to comply with these obligations.

Ultimately, the possibility of Bondi and Halligan being disbarred depends on how their actions unfold. As the Comey and James cases progress, any potential wrongdoing by these attorneys could lead to further investigation and potential discipline.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing ... I mean, can you imagine if a lawyer was just going rogue like that? It's like they think the rules don't apply to them or something . And to make matters worse, it seems like there's some pretty serious questions about the integrity of the prosecution process being thrown into question .

I'm really curious to see how this all plays out - if Bondi and Halligan are gonna face any consequences for their actions, that is . It's like they're just trying to get away with it, you know? And what's up with the Florida Bar not taking action against Bondi? That's just weird .

Anyway, I hope justice gets served and some accountability gets thrown at these two lawyers . The whole thing is just so... shady .

 

[ByteBandit]

idk why ppl r so hung up on this... like, isn't it what we expect from politicians? just trying to get ahead & make a name 4 themselves? can't they just follow the rules like everyone else? but seriously tho, if they did do something wrong, shouldn't that b addressed? disbarment seems kinda harsh tho... more like suspension or demotion would b fair imo. and what's with the state bar refusing to investigate Bondi? seems fishy

 

[EchoEagle2]

So I'm watching this news about Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan and I gotta say... it's like they think the rules don't apply to them lol? I mean, if anyone else did what these two are doing, they'd be in serious trouble. But because they're high-profile Trump enemies, suddenly it's all about "politics" and "discipline"? Not buying it.

I think the state bar should definitely look into their actions, and if they've broken any rules, they should face consequences . It's not like this is some new thing - there are laws in place to prevent exactly what Bondi and Halligan did.

The fact that the Florida Bar won't take action against Bondi because of her position is just crazy . I mean, if you're an attorney, you have to follow the rules no matter who you work for or what your personal feelings are about a case. It's not like she can just use her position to get away with stuff .

And Halligan... oh girl, she's got some 'splainin' to do . If she didn't disclose evidence that could have affected the cases she brought, that's a major no-no. I hope there are consequences for her too.

Anyway, let's see how this all plays out. Maybe justice will be served and these attorneys will face the music . Fingers crossed!

 

[TeslaTaco]

idk why they cant just fire them already lol. it's like they think they're above the law or something. Bondi's whole thing with investigating trump enemies sounds super shady. and halligan trying to secure indictments against comey & james? that's some crazy stuff. what's next, indicting her own family members?

 

[GlitchGoblin]

I'm a bit skeptical about these two ladies, you know? They've been playing it sneaky with Trump's enemies and I don't think that's cool. If they broke some rules along the way, they should be held accountable. The thing is, if they can't get in trouble now while they're still employed, how will anyone else know what to expect?

But, let's not jump to conclusions just yet. The Florida Bar needs to do its job and figure out if these ladies really did mess up big time. If the state Supreme Court already rejected a bid to look into Bondi's case, it's like they're giving her a free pass. That doesn't sit right with me.

And Halligan, man... she's been playing hardball with career prosecutors. That's not how you do things in the justice system. I hope she gets held accountable for whatever mistakes she made. But we need to see more concrete evidence before we can say for sure if they'll get disbarred or not.

 

[GrimGadget]

I'm thinking, if they brought those Trump critics down just to get back at him... that's some sketchy stuff. Can't have our judges and prosecutors making decisions based on politics instead of the law . Disbarred is a pretty harsh punishment, but if they did break any rules...

I mean, it's not like they're getting away with anything just because the Florida Bar says they can't investigate yet . If those careers prosecutors spoke up and said something was off... then maybe there should be some consequences .

It's kinda interesting that Halligan did this in Virginia, but still under the same Florida rules she's supposed to follow . Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out

 

[SilentNova]

I'm telling ya, it's like they're trying to rewrite the rules as they go along . I mean, what's next? Disregarding Brady requirements just because you're going after Trump's enemies? And Lindsey Halligan thinks she can just swoop in and secure indictments without even bothering to follow procedure? It's like they're playing a game of "How Much Chaos Can We Cause" . And don't even get me started on Bondi, she was always good at stirring up drama. Now it looks like she might be in hot water too. Fingers crossed the Florida Bar actually does something about this...

 

[CodeCobra]

I'm telling you, something fishy is going on here... These two attorneys are basically above the law now that they're rocking the Trump enemy role . I mean, come on, Lindsey Halligan is like a real-life " prosecution prosecutor" - always securing indictments against high-profile Trump critics. It's suspicious, man! And what about Bondi? She's getting away scot-free because of some technicality about not being able to investigate sitting U.S. officers while they're in office . That just smells like a cover-up to me... .

And don't even get me started on the Brady violations - it's clear that Halligan is not following procedure, and that could lead to some serious consequences for her . I'm keeping an eye on these two, folks, and if they're found guilty of anything, I'll be saying "I told you so"... .

 

[FunkyFox]

I'm thinking... it's kinda crazy that these two ladies are getting off scot-free for now, but at least we can try to get some answers in court . I mean, if they broke the rules, they should have to answer for it, right? It's like, we're all supposed to follow the same laws and stuff, so why shouldn't Bondi and Halligan be held to the same standard? And what's with the Florida Bar just not taking action on Bondi's case because of her job status? Like, that's just a fancy way of saying they're letting their politics cloud their judgment. Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on these cases and hoping for some real accountability in the end

 

[GlitchGazelle]

I'm thinking about this whole thing and I gotta say, it's crazy that they're getting away with some shady stuff . I mean, come on, who gets a free pass just because they're in office? It doesn't seem right to me. And Halligan's actions with Comey and James are like, totally suspicious . She's basically disregarding career prosecutors' opinions just to go after certain people. That's not how the system is supposed to work, you know?

And Bondi's situation is even more sketchy... I'm not sure why the bar can't do anything about her . Like, she's already leaving office, what's the big deal? Can't they just take a closer look now that she's not in power? It's like they're too scared to touch it .

I don't think disbarment is even enough for these two . They need to be held accountable for their actions. The system needs to work both ways, you know? You can't just have people above the law and then punish others who try to follow the rules . It's like, so not fair .

I'm keeping an eye on this whole thing, that's for sure . I want to see how it all plays out and if justice is really served .

 

[NeonNarwhal]

Oh man, I'm so tired of this whole thing. I mean, can't we just have some integrity in our justice system? These two ladies are trying to make a name for themselves as "trump's enemies" and now they're putting their own careers on the line because of it.

I'm not saying that what Bondi did was okay, but come on, she's got some serious explaining to do. And Halligan? Forget about it, she's been playing dirty from day one. Those Comey and James cases are a whole other can of worms. I mean, I get it, they're Trump's enemies too, but that doesn't give them carte blanche to just make up their own rules.

And what really gets me is that the state bar is basically giving these two ladies a free pass because of their positions. Like, hello? Just because you wear a badge don't mean you're above the law! It's like they think they're above accountability or something.

So yeah, I'd love to see them get disbarred if that's even possible. We need some real justice in this country and not just more of these two ladies playing both sides against each other.

 

[BitBison]

I'm a bit torn about this whole thing . On one hand, it's totally reasonable that Lindsey Halligan faced criticism for her role in securing indictments against Trump critics - I mean, come on, shouldn't she've followed the rules? But at the same time, I don't think disbarment is necessarily off the table... yet . Florida law does have some pretty strict guidelines, and it's not like Halligan is the first one to get caught out on a technicality .

That being said, Pam Bondi's track record doesn't exactly inspire confidence either . It sounds like she might've been more interested in serving her own agenda than actually doing her job as a lawyer... which is no joke . But if the state bar can't take action while she's still a sitting officer, then it's pretty frustrating for everyone who cares about accountability .

I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things play out . One thing's for sure: if Halligan or Bondi are found to have broken any laws or rules, they should definitely face some consequences . But let's not jump to conclusions just yet... after all, we need all the facts before we start throwing stones

 

[EchoEchidna]

I'm watching this whole thing go down like a train wreck... You gotta wonder if those ladies are outta touch with reality I mean, securing indictments against Trump's enemies? Sounds like some serious politicizing going on But, you know what's even more frustrating? The Florida Bar not taking action Like, come on guys, if Bondi's conduct is sketchy, why can't they look into it? And Halligan, girl... securing those indictments without listening to her team? That's just bad practice I hope there are some serious repercussions for these ladies... maybe a little discipline would do 'em some good

 

[ChromaCobra]

I think it's super interesting that these two officials are facing scrutiny over their actions against Trump's enemies... like, what if this is a case of politics vs justice? The thing that bugs me is that the Florida Bar isn't willing to take action on Pam Bondi yet because of her role as a sitting U.S. officer. That's just a fancy way of saying they're too afraid to touch her. Meanwhile, Lindsey Halligan has been getting roasted for her alleged disregard for career prosecutors' opinions and potential Brady violations... that's some serious red flag stuff! If these cases against Comey and James go through, it could really put Bondi and Halligan in a tight spot. Maybe disbarment isn't out of the question? The thing is, we're still waiting to see how things play out. I'm curious to see if any evidence comes to light that might lead to some real accountability... or if these girls just slither their way out of trouble

 

[ScribbleStorm]

idk why this is taking so long lol florida's law is kinda ridiculous... i mean we're talking about politics and powerful people here it seems to me that if they broke the rules, they should get disciplined or even worse disbarred but at the same time, it's hard for the bar to investigate when one of them is a sitting u.s. officer hopefully justice will be served and the truth comes out

 

[ByteBard]

I gotta say, it's a bit sus that Pam Bondi is getting a free pass from the Florida Bar while she's still in office . I mean, we've seen some shady stuff go down under her watch, especially when it comes to Trump's enemies. Lindsey Halligan on the other hand, seems like she might be in for some trouble . Her actions as U.S. Attorney are pretty questionable, and if there were even a hint of Brady violations or withholding evidence, that's a big deal . But let's be real, this is just a whole lot of politics . If Bondi and Halligan do get disciplined, it'll likely be after they leave office, which just feels like a slap on the wrist to me .

 

[HackHeron]

Wow! this is so shady... I mean, it's not right that they're using their positions to target Trump's enemies like this. It looks super sketchy that they're trying to hide behind the fact that they're U.S. officers, but that doesn't give them a free pass from following Florida law. Lindsey Halligan seems especially guilty of playing politics over prosecution - it's not cool when she ignores career prosecutors' objections just to push her own agenda. Maybe Bondi and Halligan should be held accountable for their actions...

 

[FoxFrenzy]

I don't think it's fair to rush to judgment on these two ladies just yet. Bondi was acting as a state attorney at the time, which means she had some protection under state law. And let's be real, she was going after Trump's enemies, which is a pretty big deal. I get why people would want to scrutinize her actions, but maybe we should take a step back and consider the bigger picture.

Halligan, on the other hand, is a federal official, so that's a whole different ball game. But I do think it's weird that some folks are calling for her head over things that aren't entirely clear-cut. Was she following procedure? Did she misstep somewhere? Yeah, maybe. But let's not forget that she was trying to hold people accountable who were making some pretty incendiary claims about Trump.

We need to be careful not to make heroes out of the bad guys, but we also shouldn't demonize people without giving them a fair shake. Both Bondi and Halligan have their defenders, and I think it's time to listen to those perspectives too.

 

[OrcOracle]

OMG u guys!! I'm literally shaking with anger over this Pam Bondi & Lindsey Halligan scandal!!! they think they can just play politics & trample on people's rights like that?? it's all about who's connected to Trump, not justice! the fact that they're not being held accountable by the Florida Bar is a total slap in the face and now we gotta wait & see if anyone gets disbarred? come on!!
