I believe Lawrence's guests on MSNBC have it wrong.

Whittaker will do all the dirty work to bury Mueller and not fear disbarment because he figures Drumpt will pardon him.

1. Presidential pardon's don't undo disbarment.

That's like saying my sewing circle must re-admit me because the judge at traffic court tossed out my speeding ticket. My sewing circle's determination of membership has nothing to do with traffic court decisions.

3. He won't care about disbarment one way or another.

Drumpt will get him a 7 figure job with a Reich Wing Think Tank and on his days off he will get hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees at Faux News sponsored events around the country. He will be a folk hero to the 35% of the population who are crazy.

He won't care a tinkers damn about consequences after he is pardoned. He will be lionized and wealthy.

2. He can still be disbarred...even though pardoned.
