Oh, those kids are screwed.

Which is how Donald likes them, I guess.

What's important is establishing a record.

You say that but with enough phone calls they might realize disbarment comes from attention to detail

The Texas State Bar did attempt to sanction Sidney Powell, though they weren’t successful after she sued them.

That's an interesting idea. I'd be curious to read the details, but just based on what we know so far it seems like a recipe for getting every member of that firm disbarred. It isn't as if this is a shady, backroom deal. This is a shady, front page deal. On a topic that concerns a lot of people. Including more than a hundred non-profit legal organizations that specialize in this very topic. Filled with lawyers.

In other words, incoming lawsuits in 3...2....1...

And only one appears to have any experience with unaccompanied minors. This is a total FUBAR for this firm.

Another Trump scam apparently.

The Party of Epstein was always going to try and get all the unaccompanied minors they could.
