Libby Disbarment Recommended

The D.C. Board on Professional Responsibility has filed a report recommending that Scooter Libby be summarily disbarred for conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude if his conviction is affirmed on appeal. Presumably the commutation of sentence will not affect the recommendation. If Libby is pardoned, he will still be subject to discipline but will be entitled to a hearing before discipline can be imposed. (Mike Frisch)
