Doesn't matter to her. She'll land a lucrative gig on one of the right wing propaganda networks, not go back to practicing law.

Now if she faces criminal and civil penalties beyond that disbarment, that's a different story. Especially at the state level.

    I feel like it would have to be state level or nothing right? I can't imagine she won't get pardoned for anything and everything on the federal level unless she crosses Trump or something. She bent over backwards kissing his ass more than anyone. I gotta imagine she has a pardon waiting for her.

    She's 60 and rich; why would she even want to go back to work? But then I don't understand why anyone with financial freedom would choose to give up even more of their life for money they don't need.

    One of the things I'll never understand is the desire for rich people to keep working. To keep accumulating more wealth.

    If I had a few million £ in the bank I'd retire faster than you can say 1 percent.

    Rich people hoard money without any regards for morals or ethics, and they certainly don't stop to ponder the purpose of their wealth. That's just their drug.

    You're not addicted. That's why you're not rich.

    It's also why a lot of people who win the lottery end up broke within a year: they don't have the mental illness of greed necessary to stay rich.

    I'm with you until you get to the lottery part. Your description implies that those lottery winners who don't go bankrupt are somehow worse than the ones who do go bankrupt, which doesn't make any sense.

    They lose their money because they can't control their spending, not because they lack the mental illness of money addiction.

    What a strange perspective you've given. It makes me suspect that you have a personal motive for thinking that way.

    She's 60?! She must be the first Republican who actually looks good for her age.

    It has to happen first.

    I'm so fucking sick of these "Asshole can have consequences..." articles and nothing happens.

    According to reports Trump told her in the limo "It's time."

    I like to think then as a tear slid down her cheek he reached forward and grabbed her by the pussy giving it a little honk honk as the limo pulled up to the Supreme Court.

    Maybe there should be some amount of accountability for these goons BEFORE their boss has consumed their usefulness and tossed them aside?

    Do that first just for the shame, and then sentence her to death. Anybody that helped or assisted him can get in line with her.

    Other child rapists can get in line next. We shouldn't jail these people, we should slaughter them. And everyone that helps them, too. Even one time offenders.

    But at the VERY least the poster children for making an industry of it.

    I'd vote for training the new executioners to do it for these cases, so they make the mistakes you hear about with botched executions. For these offenders I consider that a feature, not a bug. They should all SUFFER as they die. And I cannot capitalize it hard enough. They should have the most pain it is possible to have, and I'm not sorry for wanting that.

    But if public distaste is too much than those pod things can be used instead.

    I hear what you're saying and feel where you're coming from. Executing them, even botched and painfully, is not their worst fate. Their worst fate would be all assets and bank accounts forfeited (if they can take the money in your pocket by asset forfeiture they sure as hell can seize billions in ill gotten gains), sentenced to jail with access to tv and internet but wih no means to post or otherwise be heard. No phones, text, email, nothing. Cannot post to social media. Read but no write access.

    Rotting away for decades watching the world go by without them. Indifferent to their absence or even celebrating it. That would drive them mad.

    She shouldn't have held any position at the bar in the first place.

    She is licensed in Florida. The probability the Florida bar will kick her out is about as high as that Trump was completely exonerated by the Epstein files.

    I think they will. Trump cut her loose: she's a MAGA pariah now. This is the one chance the bar review committee has to pretend they still have integrity without pissing off the orange utan and his cult followers.

    The dismissal tweet sounded cheerful enough though. She wasn't given the Very Prestigious Command of the Supreme Council of the Board of Peace, for sure, but she was wished well and told she did a good job and she was the Best Boy, that's gotta count for something!

    Bondi went in knowing what she did and knowing that it was wrong and knowing that her defence cannot be that her boss really wanted her to do it.

    Wait, she’s 60? I had no idea. Honestly looks much younger.

    I've always thought that faces like hers that radiate contempt and hatred seem to be forever frozen in their unpleasant pose.

    People who smile and have normal human expressions tend to age faster, simply because their faces move all the time.

    Also, of course, plastic surgery...

    Counter-point: Karoline Leavitt looks at least 20 years older than she is.

    Do people really think that was a punishment for her? It was probably her idea to avoid a hearing...

    She better run to Israel or Russia or a non-extradition country.

    Wow. Just learned she is 60 and that's crazy how much make up and plastic surgeries can do I guess. I always thought she was anywhere between 35 and 45
