    She said she was an attorney too, but extremely likely, is not. She went to law school, but no one has records of her being able to practice law in any state. I bet they never checked, lmao.

    But asked on Tuesday where she passed the bar exam, Trump looked back at his new press secretary and asked her, “Which state?” “When I moved to China,” she said.

    She is not listed with the State Bar of California, where she lives. She also does not appear on the state’s list of attorneys under her maiden name. An attorney with an identical name who does appear on the state’s list works for the Department of Child Support Services.

      She probably thought that graduating law school meant she was a lawyer and only recently learned that the Bar Exam is a thing. She’s the kind of lawyer who advised Michael Scott that yelling “bankruptcy” is declaring bankruptcy.

      My bar license lives in China, you wouldn’t know it.

      Why are you so interested in compentcy and qualifications? We are back to cronyism / the spoils system. It worked really well for people that were unskilled grifters in the past. It’s high time those people had another day in the sun.
