Twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton could be forced to surrender her law license in Arkansas over her role in the anti-Trump Russian Hoax.
An ethics complaint from the group Democracy Restored accuses Clinton of violating rules of professional conduct, citing her 2016 campaign’s role in peddling a notorious, false “dossier” tying President Donald Trump and Russia.
Democracy Restored is calling for a “formal review of the conduct of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Esq., a licensed attorney in the State of Arkansas, in connection with her actions during the 2016 presidential campaign.”
The complaint says Clinton violated the Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct, which sets ethical standards for lawyers in the state.
The group points to newly public evidence that Clinton personally approved an effort to smear her 2016 election rival as a Russian asset by pushing false claims to the media and the FBI.
The campaign was a clear effort to sabotage Trump’s presidency.
“Within this release, there is an annex, which suggests that Clinton approved a plan created by one of her advisors to release false information with the purpose ‘to smear’ her political opponent during a presidential campaign and distract from the news surrounding her own legal accusations,” the complaint states.
The Clinton campaign previously agreed to pay an $8,000 fine to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for lying about its spending on the notorious Christopher Steele “dossier,” which the campaign labeled a legal expense.
The fabricated dossier, which was sourced from Steele, a British ex-spy, contained salacious and false rumors that were fed to the liberal press and the FBI.
The document fueled a years-long investigation into Trump that clouded much of his first term as president.
Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe ended with a whimper, with just one individual being sentenced to probation and a Clinton lawyer getting acquitted for lying to the FBI.
Clinton has never faced consequences for her role in the hoax.
However, her critics hope that this will change as the Trump administration pushes to expose Democrats who were involved in the scandal.
Those linked to the hoax include Obama administration officials and the former president himself, who are now facing a grand jury investigation.
The Trump administration recently declassified the annex from Durham’s report, which contained emails detailing an apparently centralized campaign plan to smear Trump in order to distract from the scandal over Clinton’s emails.
Intelligence of the Clinton plan was intercepted by the Obama administration.
However, the FBI failed to scrutinize it as the agency rushed into launching its probe into Trump, Crossfire Hurricane.
“If there is one political scandal synonymous with the 2016 election, it is Operation Crossfire Hurricane,” an unnamed Democracy Restored director told Fox News.
“Former Secretary Clinton’s utilization of a bunk dossier by a foreign ex-spy to harm a political opponent violates basic ethical norms as well as the Arkansas bar’s own rules of conduct for attorneys.”
“The Arkansas bar needs to take a serious look at former Secretary Clinton’s involvement in this scandal and take appropriate action,” the director added.
