Former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach acknowledged that he did not properly supervise his trial team during their disastrous performance in the proof-of-citizenship voter registration case.
Given his lack of legal skills, ethics, patriotism, and radical politics, lets all hope Kris K Kobach is hired by Trump as his lawyer. Heād fit right in with prior choices like Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani.
Heāll make a great Republican Senator.
Yeah, Iām sure thereās nothing at all derogatory about Kobach and his actions in the large majority of the findings that are being kept confidential.
ETA: Really, Kansas Bar, if you go to the trouble of investigating one of your members, the results should be made public. If you donāt find anything wrong, itās all good and everyone will know it. If you do find misconduct, then the public whom you are charged to protect will have that information. This confidentiality after the investigation is complete and the findings are finalized is BS.
āThere was no finding of dishonest conduct on the part of Mr. Kobach.ā
āWe had to stretch a Chiclet to the moon and back to reach that conclusion,ā the Kansas Disciplinary Administratorās Office said, ābut we ultimately made it.ā
He didnāt know court procedures, was not familiar with discovery, made a fool of himself being lead attorney. That was a political stunt that backfired. He undoubtedly needs many more classes in continuing legal education.
The Kansas Bar ultimately found Kobach to be clueless. To be dishonest requires a certain amount of cognitive ability. On the other hand, to be cluelessā¦
This was effectively a plea bargain. He agreed to plead to a less embarrassing charge, they agreed not to investigate. Diversionary means it didnāt go through the entire ethics-complaint process. So of course they didnāt make a finding.
And remember, these are the parts he agreed to have published.
āAs the office of the disciplinary administrator stated, there was no finding of dishonest conduct on the part of Mr. Kobach,ā Herbert, who was Kobachās spokesperson when he was secretary of state, said. āThat was the central allegation of the complaint, which was obviously politically motivated.ā
We take the same position the WSJ took in their editorial re President Trump. Mr Kobach is simply too inept, incompetent, and probably stupid to supervise the trial team according to the most minimal standards.
Yale Law. Motherfucking Yale Law. And this guy has to take remedial classes!
Hey, it worked for Don Jr, who to my non lawyerās mind clearly conspired with the Russianās to find dirt on Hillary: Mueller, in effect, found he was too ignorant and stupid to rally the required brain power to be found culpable.
But Jr. didnāt get his JD from Yale Law School.
Legal education classes?
While I applaud the judge for being so optimistic, legal education is wasted on Kobach.
To quote Upton Sinclair: āIt is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.ā
Considering that Kobach only had to go back to legal ed and minimal fine, he/his lawyers still made a āgood choiceā in the diversion agreement because it was resolved and this incident will NOT appear on his record!
Another Thugs-R-Us who got away from his PUBLIC CORRUPTION charges!
āThere was no finding of dishonest conduct on the part of Mr. Kobach.āā¦Horse and Pucky. Not buying THIS for a second. Not one second.
I anticipate his nomination to the Federal Bench any day now. He is exactly like the inexperienced and poorly educated nominees who have been approved so far.
Just like the Presidentās tax returns.
My general impression is that State Bars are only slightly better at disciplining their members than State medical boards. He probably should have had his license to practice law yanked for a year or two.
Or SCOTUS Justice.
Wait, donāt give Cheatolini any ideasā¦
But they obstructed justice when questions about the meeting by Congress and by DOJ. They also committed criminal acts when applying for security clearances, unless they didnāt understand the question āHave you met with foreign agents or government representatives?ā (Gee, I didnāt know what the word āmetā meant so I said āNoā)
