Brad Bondi, the brother of AG Pam Bondi, overwhelmingly lost his bid to lead the D.C. Bar Association in a race with record turnout, the organization announced Monday.

Bondi, who is global co-chair of the law firm Paul Hastings’s investigations and white-collar defense practice, earned just 3,490 votes, or 9.1 percent, in the D.C. Bar’s presidential election. His opponent, employment lawyer Diane Seltzer, won 34,982 votes, or 90.9 percent.

#Trump's comments come 6 days after the #DOJ's new #pardon attorney, disgraced #DC #USattorney, under investigation by the #DCBar & #Jan6 advocate, #EdMartin Jr., said on a podcast he would take a "hard look" at pardoning the men he called "victims just like January 6," when Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol while Congress met to certify the Nov 2020 election results.

Pretty sure she’s thinking, “worth it.”

The #DOJ has charged Emily Sommer with assaulting former interim US attorney [now #Trump pardon legal adviser & currently under a #DCbar #ethics investigation] #EdMartin, when she spit on him during a liveshot.

"Fuck you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella SOMMER, and you are served," she said.

SOMMER then walked eastbound on D Street Northwest and yelled, “You are a disgusting man. Fuck you, Ed Martin. My name is Emily Gabriella SOMMER, and you are served.”

Last night, in the lawsuit brought by #FBI agents who worked on #Jan6 investigations, seeking to prevent their names from being disclosed for fear of #retribution & physical #threats from #MAGA #extremists, the plaintiffs alerted Judge Cobb of the press conference by disgraced fmr acting #DC #USattorney, current #DOJ Weaponization "captain" & under #DCbar #ethics probe #EdMartin who pledged: "We will name them."

Interim Washington #USAttorney #EdMartin said in the letter sent to his staff on his last day on the job that he is under investigation by the DC Office of Disciplinary Counsel [#DCBar]. The office is in charge of investigating & bringing #misconduct proceedings against attorneys in the district.

Wow - I don't know any lawyers in this organization. But... maybe the fediverse can boost this to those who do.

I am not a member of the DC Bar (or any BAR for that matter) but I'll give credit where credit is due.

I am super appreciative of #LegalEagle and his videos, but this is arguably his most important and it isn't very algorithm pleasing so I fear it will fall behind.

But there are #dcbar elections coming up and I'd anyone in the DC Bar sees this, it is crucial you elect #DianeSeltzer as the President to aid in these perilous times, she is far more accredited, and less dangerous than her opponent, none other than the brother of Pam Bondi. He will sell the legal system to #Felon47. Video with more details is attached

Two #Trump allies are seeking positions in the #DCBar; elections opened yesterday. If you missed the email, search "D.C. Bar Elections" from directvote.
Both Brad Bondi and Alicia Long cast their candidacies as about efficiency & service, but I cannot trust them to uphold the rule of law & integrity of the profession given their support of and alliances with this admin.
#Bar assns are among the institutions we need to defend - check candidates in other states, too! #law abovethelaw.com/2025/03/pam-bo

Holy shit.

Tomorrow, the #DCBar begins voting for a new president.

Trump’s US AG #PamBondi’s brother, Brad Bondi is in the running.

If you are a member of the #DC #Bar VOTE AGAINST HIM.

Joyce Vance, law professor, Civil Discourse 4/7/2025
The District of Columbia Bar declined to open an ethics investigation into Trump’s U.S. Attorney nominee there, Ed Martin, who, as acting U.S. Attorney, allegedly moved to dismiss criminal charges against a Jan. 6 defendant he represented as a defense attorney. They explained they don’t pursue cases where lawyers have violated DOJ rules, which would be the relevant provision here. What went left unsaid is that in a “normal” DOJ, the Office of Professional Responsibility would have taken the matter on, and one would expect Martin to have been swiftly reprimanded. We don’t expect that result here.
