Now #DisbarPamBondi
She has violated her Oath and Blatantly violated DOJ rules and the Constitution!
Criminal Gross Negligence!
Lawyers you must hold the Line!
I would say it sounds like an entitled white guy excuse, not accepting any responsibility and not showing the very simple grace defeats should bring. But being a Bondi should have made this obvious. Bye, Felicia!
It wasn’t even partisan! He’s making shit up! He lost this badly because he refused to say “my sister is a criminal and threat to the rule of law. I acknowledge this. I do not share her values.”
Fuck that guy! We knew his intentions and he wants to sputter about non partisan and non political and all the same bs his sister pushes while undermining the constitution, the courts, The Law!
Yaaaay!
Yup, reads like his Eulogy and some what he wrote describes his corrupt sister for sure. The members voted as they saw who would be a better candidate Brad. Stop being a sore loser. However, Brad should have a word with his sister about the rule of law OATH TO CONSTITUTION & NOT to DICTATOR
Boo fucking hoo. And by the way, there has never been a time in history that I can think of where voting along political lines is the right thing to do. Bondi and the rest of the MAGA asshats have proven time and time again that the law will always be secondary to their ideology.
I should clarify to say that there has never been a time in history when it was more crucial that we vote along party lines given that the other side are fucking lunatics hellbent on reshaping America into the new Third Reich.
A man in his position with real ethics would understand the terrible optics of seeking that role while his sister has the role she does. Yet he has the nerve to talk about "political strong-arming"!
If Brad is right then why hasn’t the DC Bar disbarred Bill Barr and his sister? If they are so all partisan as he says then they should disbar about 2,000 Republican attorneys who are violating the law.
The TLDR is; I lost, so the Bar is fatally flawed.
Should any Bar be a home for ALL lawyers? I agree it should be a home for all political views amongst lawyers, but shouldn't a Bar be only for lawyers of good standing? Who are competent and qualified? It seems that there are caveats backed in.
A little grace would have gone a long way. But hey, entitled white guy not accepting responsibility for anything seems on brand. So is this what they consider “alpha?” Integrity counts. Congrats to the winner!
Sorry, Mr. Bondi, shit just ain't fair sometimes. Are you being punished because your brother and sister members of the DC bar think you sister is a Nazi? Yeah, probably. Is that strictly fair to you? No, I suppose not. But you're going to have to find a way to deal with this setback.
As a bystander only aware of this situation solely per this Bluesky post, this was exactly my first reaction. Crying partisanship while trying to be prez of the DC Bar while your sister is the AG is rich even to a novice like me.
LOL if his campaign ideals were so lofty one might assume he would have, I don’t know, run on them? How does he have the balls to claim the high ground of civility and then bitterly roast as partisan fantasists the giant majority who rejected him?!
Two of his kids wrote supporting posts for him that sounded exactly the same (My Dad's great and people who don't want him to be DC bar prez are scum). That appears to have been his campaign message?
That and to say that it was “beneath the bar” and politicizes the bar to object to the law firm EOs and other ongoing depredations of the rule of law. Bizarre.
It's not about political beliefs, it's about his thoroughly dishonest wife and a reasonable belief that either he has been influenced by her or, worse, he has influenced her. And thus exercising the precaution principle as any sane individual would and should. He can always divorce and disavow her.
What a fucking pathetic loser. He had numerous opportunities to address the obvious concerns people had. People in the DC Bar genuinely wanted to hear him address it in good faith. Instead he just refused. He has no one to blame but himself and his sister.
1. He's a Securities lawyer; the most distanced and rarefied field dealing exclusively with large corporate interests and not the rank and file.
2. Other than a better phone system, no mention ethical practice or standards of practice both put in issue by DC DOJ including his sister.
3. Real loser
It’s a weird trait among MAGA that when they are exposed as losers they respond by calling extra attention to their own humiliation, without an ounce of self-reflection.
Only one candidate recognized the uniquely partisan attacks on the judiciary in the face of plainly, blatantly unconstitutional and illegal acts of an unhinged, criminally insane dictatorial president. And to challenge that spits in the faces of the SCOTUS who affirmed that view.
But look at how much he did for member vote turnout!! 43% compared to only 8.6% last year.
Seems like a message from fellow attys who are NOT approving of this regime's AG & policies or those who may support it.
Every institution that creates and maintains ethical standards that stands independent of (not even necessarily against) Trump gets attacked by Trump / MAGA. They can't allow anything to be a higher moral authority than their own personal commands. Ultimate domination is the goal.
Apparently, it is beyond his comprehension that having a sibling who is a disgrace to the legal profession and trying to destroy the rule of law usurpingly means other lawyers do not think you are fit for a leadership position.
IDK if he was even a DC lawyer before he tried to ride his sister’s coat tails to the top. Just assumed he flew up from Florida. Anyway, it appears they saw through his attempt.
I guess that means they get full BAR membership and not just Pro Hac Vice? I can understand why DC would be more open to recognizing BAR membership from other states because of their unique status but trying a case and being full BAR are different.
90% of the votes are against him and he’s claiming it’s political? If you lose by 80 points is because you are simply unqualified, unlikeable, or both. There is no other possible reason.
funny...linkedIn is such a fertile and professional slippery slope for bad character actors to get their timeline dunked on and tarnished on a professional reputation site

So brave a stance too. If I win everything is fine, but if I lose, democracy itself must be dead.
You know, like how a petulant, spoiled child reasons about things.

That is all.
Bravo, DC Bar!

Mind you I think he's full of shit but in a vacuum this wouldn't have been a bad concession announcement considering the loss margin.

If 90% of the Bar voting for one person isn't historical bipartisanship, I don't know what is.

He still would have lost, but not as comically.
He didn’t congratulate me. ;)
Also, I think it's really unfortunate that he looks exactly like his sister.
this should be the end of him and his sister.
this is what fascists do.
lololololol

Also, he should have known that, as brother of the attorney general, merely running for office would have politicized that office.
Your sister is a partisan, law-breaking, bribe-taking hack. Start with her and work your way up.
Punk.

Also, congrats!
And that includes yours! Thank you!
Just like his sister.

(Still doesn’t mean anyone wanted to elect him.)
“don’t put in the paper I got mad”
That man is missing something...
These conservative guys are so fragile and too emotional to lead.
