Lying Lawyers

The ABA should immediately commence disbarment proceedings where evidence exists a DOJ lawyer lied with an intent to mislead a federal Judge. And I would hope the Judges in question have already submitted referrals to the ABA on each occasion this had occurred.

Normally, I would expect an attorney to be suspended for a first offense of lying with the intent to mislead a Judge. However there is much leeway in the punishment administered and when a DOJ attorney lies to a US District Court Judge or Magistrate at the behest of the DOJ itself, disbarment should be the penalty even for a first offense (unless the attorney provides the ABA with testimony that leads to disbarment proceedings against higher ups - in that event the attorney should still be suspended of course).

It would have helped Reason to categorize who the lying lawyers are, which is Department of Justice.
