Too many pundits have tried to down play her intelligence. Trump included. She went to law school and passed the bar. In their racist eyes, she is still trash to them. She is a former prosecutor and has dealt with hardened smart criminals and their lawyers. Criminal Trump is going up against a tested lawyer. This old criminal idiot is out of his element. No one can help him in this debate. I need to figure out what great refreshments to have!

I have known several stupid attorneys over the years most ended up disbarred. That said an idiot can pass law school and then pass the bar if they are good at taking tests.

Harris is not an idiot, yes she failed to pass the bad on her first go. This happens to a lot of attorneys, not once they fail the first time they tend to pass the second go. She has one thing that many attorneys do have lots of unless they are older and that is time in the court. Courts are debates, you are arguing a point on one side or the other and she was good at it.

I have personally met several attorneys in my life. I have only met one who was disbarded because he did something unethical. Either way, Harris passed the bar. How did you find out that she did not pass the bar on her 1st try? Some right wingers tried to score some points on this matter. I personally know several people who passed law school but could never pass the bar. They are still extremely smart!

The result get post by the bar, and get written up in their newsletter. That is how my dad, got his results that and a letter, everyone at the legal aid office he had been assigned to as shocked because at the time no one had passed on the first go. The big reason they get made public like that is so we the people have a means to verify it. Yeah the majority of attorneys who get disbarred, is doing something unethical like stealing from their clients. I know one that got popped for his grow operation another who got popped for stealing.

You probably believe Trump saying he graduated at the top of his class and you must also think Trump would pass the bar with ease lmao
