"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was stripped of his ability to practice law on Thursday as a result of his conviction in the CIA leak case.

The former White House aide was found guilty a year ago of obstruction of justice and lying. Those are considered crimes involving "moral turpitude" that under the law require disbarment, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruled."

Have they been disbarred? Scooter doesn't need to be a lawyer, he can make a comeback as a lobbyist.

Found guilty on trumped up charges by an ignorant District of Columbia jury.

Washington DC the only place in America where Libby could have been found guilty.

In January [2001], Clinton reached an agreement with independent counsel Robert Ray that suspended his Arkansas law license for five years and ordered the former president to pay $25,000 in fines to that state's bar officials. Clinton also gave up any claim of repayment of his legal fees in the matter.

In return, Ray ended the 7-year Whitewater probe that shadowed most of Clinton's two terms in the White House.​
Just pay enough bribe money, Scooter, you too can get back your license.
