Students for Trump founder John Lambert sentenced to 13 months for posing as lawyer

I don't see the problem, he was merely emulating his golden idol.

1) I am very pleased to see someone get prison time for a white-collar case. Too many defendants in such cases get off with probation or house arrest, which is where a lot of the racial disparities in prison come from.

2) I'm sure he can found Inmates for Trump and land on his feet.

Agree!

I have noted over the years that do-nothing State Bars will always come down like a ton of bricks on non-lawyers falsely holding themselves out to be lawyers. The corrupt, incompetent and shady lawyers? Not so much.

"For completeness":
The baby-faced scammer from Tennessee admitted to running the racket from 2016 to 2018, which targeting people who had little or no experience seeking legal advice. Lambert earned at least $46,654 through legal advice he was totally unqualified to give.
This is more than Dr. Laity Esquire giving himself a fake degree; real victims lost real money.

And filly's observation is accurate, but not authorized to practice law is so much easier to prove.

Lambert’s attorney, Gary Peters, said he was disappointed with the sentence. He added that Lambert no longer supported Trump.

Probably only because Lambert didn't get a pre-emptive pardon from TFG.
