Group Seeks Disbarment of a Trump-Aligned Lawyer for a Key Jan. 6 Witness

[BidenPresident]

Prominent lawyers filed a scathing ethics complaint against Stefan Passantino, who represented Cassidy Hutchinson in the early stages of the House committee’s investigation.

Now, several dozen prominent legal figures, including past presidents of the American Bar Association and the District of Columbia Bar, are seeking to revoke Mr. Passantino’s license to practice law. The move reflects intensifying scrutiny over whether Mr. Passantino, a former Trump White House ethics lawyer whose legal fees were covered by Mr. Trump’s political action committee, violated his own professional duty, along with a host of other ethical requirements, by putting the interests of a third party over that of his client.

We file this complaint because the testimony Ms. Hutchinson provided to the Committee,
and other publicly available information, reveal numerous serious ethical breaches by Mr.
Passantino. Among them, Mr. Passantino represented conflicting interests where informed
consent was not requested, and no reasonable attorney could consider that the conflicting
interests could be reconciled; where his advice to Ms. Hutchinson suborned perjury and placed
her in jeopardy of criminal sanctions to protect other clients represented by his firm; and where
his conduct also likely violated other federal criminal statutes by encouraging her to give false
testimony to Congress.

So if I understand this correctly the prosecution will have an unethical ex-lawyer as their key witness? Lol sounds like just their kind of witness.
