Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct.
How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?

Analysis Summary
A federal judge ruled Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit was filed for improper purpose and referred Trump's lawyers, including Todd Blanche, to bar associations in New York and Washington, D.C. for potential disciplinary proceedings. Just two days later, Blanche was being considered for attorney general. Schiff is highlighting the timing of this nomination coming so soon after the bar referral. The NYC Bar Association has formally opposed his nomination, citing concerns about prosecutorial independence and rule of law.
