"Michelle made a tremendous speech at the Democrat convention. What did you think of it?"

He thought something that involved the "N word". He won't say it in polite company, because he imagines that polite company gives a shit about what he says, but he thought it.

What you have repeated again is not ironclad in every state.

You are right. If you get a DUI (in some states a low felony) or committed a felony at a young age, you can be admitted to a law school and take the bar exam. If you pass, you must also pass a "character test". You narrative is for those that are not licensed lawyers, when they commit a felony.

A practicing attorney that commits a felony is a whole different story. Especially one that has not only taken an oath as a new attorney, but also as an FBI agent. I seriously doubt that any state bar would excuse the violation of not just the new attorney oath, but the FBI oath as well.

A deal with the prosecutor will not overrule the state bar from taking a license from an attorney. And consider the nature of the felony here. Clinesmith lied to the FISA Court, essentially perpetrating a fraud on the court. I doubt that there is a state bar in any state that would overlook that.

So, I am sticking with my original opinion. I guess we will find out in due time. But, I suspect that a deal with the prosecutor would entail loss of license in lieu of jail time.
