LIT UPDATE
April 5, 2021: Klayman Says Judge’s ‘Hostility’ Warrants Rehearing His Case
Conservative lawyer Larry Klayman on Friday urged the D.C. Circuit to rehear his disciplinary case, accusing a federal judge of being hostile, condescending and “ideologically based” when the panel suspended him from practicing law last week.
LIT COMMENTARY
Conservative [Celebrity] Attorney Larry Klayman
We’ve previously written about Klayman’s ongoing ethics issues with the D.C. Bar and he’s now appealed to the D.C. Circuit. Listening to oral arguments, he asserted that DC Bar [counsel] was ‘partisan’, which was quickly closed down by Judge Henderson, a Ronald Reagan appointee.
D.C. Bar
LIT would say that whether it’s partisan or not, it’s clear from our investigations that the D.C. Bar is corrupt.
Goodwin Law
Especially when you read the complaint against Klayman for violating rule 1.7 (Conflict of Interest). Goodwin Procter, are lawyers who also violated Rule 1.7, e.g. the Hot Potato doctrine, in Illinois, yet the Bar declined to pursue ethic[s] complaints past the inquiry stage against this Biglaw firm or it’s attorneys who represent Banks and Nonbanks and who violated D.C. Bar’s ethical codes designed to protect consumers and litigants.
‘Let Me Stop This’ – D.C. Circuit Judge Henderson Shuts Down Attorney Klayman During Oral Argument re D.C. Bar Ethics Issues
Conservative legal firebrand Larry Klayman evoked an angry response from a D.C. Circuit judge Wednesday after he repeatedly interrupted a fellow member of a three-judge panel during argument for his battle against a since-expired suspension from practicing law in the nation’s capital.

Certainly, LIT is not defending Klayman’s actions – see video below for self explanatory reasoning – that said, the DC Bar whiteout of Sataki’s name and replacing with initials in final 2020 report was clearly a malicious move. PACER is public. The Bar’s wordsmithing is egregious pic.twitter.com/6Veqci9emp

IT’S NOT FACTIONAL LARRY, IT’S JUDGES
“It was as if Judge Tatel, for whatever reason, politically, ideologically based or otherwise, had Mr. Klayman personally in his crosshairs to give the founder of @JudicialWatch and @FreedomWatchUSA his comeuppance.” https://t.co/mhKssq9854 https://t.co/TqOHF3tcyK pic.twitter.com/AFu7UhtqES
