Gableman has surrendered his law license...

Good!

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who led 2020 election probe agrees to surrender law license

(AP) - A former Wisconsin state Supreme Court justice who spread election conspiracies and led an investigation into President Donald Trump’s 2020 loss in the swing state agreed Monday to surrender his law license to settle multiple misconduct violations.

The state Office of Lawyer Regulation filed a 10-count complaint in November against Michael Gableman, accusing him of misconduct during the probe. The state Supreme Court ultimately could revoke Gableman’s law license, although the court rarely administers such a harsh punishment against wayward attorneys.

This guy's not a "wayward attorney." He's a fraud.

I always said he didn't deserve a law license because he didn't know the law.
