This is part two of a series that will continue to expose Montana’s judicial branch.

Montana’s Attorney General appeared in front of the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) on day two of the counsel’s attempt to remove the AG’s license to practice law, making him ineligible for holding the office per the Montana Constitution. Rather than engage in the left’s tactics of obfuscation and bureaucratic maneuvering, the Sentinel staff prefer to provide key points and conclusions so all Montanans can see what is at stake and how Montana’s judicial bureaucrats are weaponizing the system against the people’s choice for Attorney General, and against Montana’s Legislature.

The Attorney General’s primary witness was not allowed to testify.
The prosecution’s key witness (Beth McLaughlin) was allowed to testify and set her terms by being remote and limiting her time availability.
The chairman continuously threw out emails, negating McLaughlin’s testimony be removing the most important evidence of then proceedings.
The prosecution consistently attempted to use leading questions to entrap the AG.
The prosecution does not appear to have a case. Instead, it tried to tarnish the AG’s reputation and pursue frivolous charges to influence the 2024 campaign for Attorney General. This is apparent institutionalized election interference, much like what is happening to Trump, and should be considered as using state resources for lobbying.

The critical point of the entire process leading to the last two days of testimony is that this is a struggle between the legislative and judicial branches. It appears that the ODC decision was made a long time ago; it is all baked into the cake.

The legislative branch oversees the judicial branch and is working on reforming it so its opinions support the US and Montana Constitutions and the people’s will. (The court’s opinions are only opinions, not the final vote on what is or is not constitutional).
The judicial branch wants to continue to legislate from the bench and work against the will of the majority of Montanans as expressed through the legislature.
The Montana Supreme Court wants to avoid being held accountable for conspiring to predetermine case outcomes.
The Attorney General is the victim of the weaponized bureaucracy; the legislative and executive branches are the real targets.
