D.C. Bar counsel: Disbar Jeffrey Clark

Donald Trump, after A.G. Barr quit, installed Jeffrey Clark who collaborated in Trump’s effort to hold on to power despite losing the election.  Today the D.C. Bar's Disciplinary Counsel  recommended disbarment: 

From the disciplinary counsel’s proposed finding of fact and conclusions:

It is not enough that the efforts of these lawyers ultimately failed. As a profession, we must do what we can to ensure that this conduct is never repeated. The way to accomplish that goal is to remove from the profession lawyers who betrayed their constitutional obligations and their country. It is important that other lawyers who might be tempted to engage in similar misconduct be aware that doing so will cost them their privilege to practice law. It is also important for the courts and the legal profession to state clearly that the ends do not justify the means; that process matters; and that this is a society of laws, not men.
