Gonzo Looking For Private Lawyer-Likely To Be Probed By TX Bar For Ethics Violations
Alberto Gonzales Getting Ready To Head To Court?
Posted September 24, 2007

If you blinked while you were reading Michael Isikoff's latest Newsweek Periscope item, you might have missed this little scoop:

Meanwhile, the probes into the Gonzales era will continue. The departed A.G. is now looking for a private lawyer to represent him, according to two legal sources who asked not to be identified because of the matter's sensitivity.


Last week at the Huffington Post, I reported the existence of a real possibility that the ex-Attorney General and President George W. Bush's former White House Counsel could face an ethics complaint at the Texas State Bar:

The woman who literally wrote the book on legal ethics in Texas says it's likely that the Texas State Bar is probing the professional conduct of former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

"Given the publicity regarding the allegations concerning Mr. Gonzales, I would be surprised if the (Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel of the Texas State Bar) is not currently investigating a complaint," said Lillian Hardwick, co-author of the Handbook of Texas Lawyer and Judicial Ethics.

2. but it is still a way to get his crap out in the open
my local progressive radio show had someone on about a month ago who was encouraging people to file complaints against Alberto with the Texas bar as it is viewed as a first major step in exposing the slime ball.
