(51,590 posts)I wrote to Shaub several times to thank him for his patriotic support of our country and encouraged him to hang in there. I really don't know how he was able to last as long as he did.

(13,524 posts)glad to know that you wrote to him!! I so well remember that he was the only, THE ONLY person on my teevee publicly stating that the incoming =#=@!! would be in violation of every ethics rule known to man on January 20, 2017 - and nobody gave a shit.
And yes, how he lasted as long as he did - nah. Its not possible...but he did it.
Meanwhile, his twitter feed is hilarious and brilliant, and this guy - well, as they say, hes got zero fucks left to give!! I mean, of course he is an American patriot (and...a personal hero of mine), but a selfish part of me is tickled to see him say, as a private citizen, all the shit he can now freely say!!

(9,170 posts)to suggest another attorney engage in unethical behavior. If, in fact, McGahn pressured Sessions not to recuse, that is unethical. The state bar associations in the states in which he is licensed should initiate ethics investigations.
