Rules don’t apply to progressives.

Was it you, RWT, going on about accountability earlier in this thread? Does this look like accountability to you?

Stupid question, I suppose. As a progressive, principles are pliable.

First, I don't think I'm qualified to speak to the inner workings of the DC bar association. I have no clue what they use as criteria to reinstate lawyers under any circumstances, much less this one.

And second, IIRC, the offense by this guy was actually fairly minor. Didn't he change something on a doc to make it true to what actually happened, rather than just getting another correct document to replace it? Or something like that? Not excusing what he did, which was wrong, but I don't believe it had any negative effect on anyone or anything outside of himself...going from memory of the case so I could be completely wrong.

But yeah, it sounds on the surface like he got off easy, but that would just be an uneducated guess on my part.
