"When Trump plucked Katie Zacharia from obscurity & appointed her as his new press sec, he called her 'an attorney.' This is also how Zacharia describes herself. But Popular Information searched for evidence in all 50 states, plus DC, that she was admitted to practice law anywhere — & found none."

This is so predictable: Trump just declares things to be so: he doesn’t care whatsoever whether they’re true or not. He hires people who do the same (Kennedy, Hegesth,etc., etc., etc.). It’s an administration of liars and frauds.

Well if she's not a lawyer, Katie Zacharia has met the 2nd criterium for being a Trump press secretary, lying. 1st criterium is being blond. 3rd: she is horrible at her job. If she changes nothing in 30 days, she'll be a lying brunette who isn't a lawyer, but is still bad at her job.

Katie Zacharia,claiming to be an 'attorney' simply meant she's qualified to 'judge' right from wrong as well as Trump's corrupt legal 'sluts' such as AG Harelip,nudist Dershowitz,'tits' Habba,'BJ'Giuliani,where's-my-drink Pirro,Sydney 'lunatic' Powell,etc.Trump is an expert @ finding law breakers.

Will add that when you graduate law school, you can practice law in limited circumstances while under supervision. You typically have a year to pass the bar before a law firm will cut you loose.

Law degree: Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, where her studies ran from 2008 to 2011 but no verified record of her ever having held a verified licence or standing with a state bar association. But she’s dumb and blonde and therefore qualified for her current position

Any MAGA supporter can gain favor with their leaders through this kind of shameless flattery and lying, getting whatever they want in return. They simply don’t care about any of it.

Katie (Black) Zacharia graduated from Pepperdine School of Law in Malibu, California. However, she does not show up as admitted to the California Bar under either her maiden or married name. She supposedly practiced law as in-house counsel. To do that, you must be admitted to some state Bar.

I heard she always had difficulty passing the bar. She always had to go in... Yet again a special Nobel peace prize must go to Trump for assembling the most spectacularly unqualified administration imaginable...

The entire administration is someone on the internet saying "I could do that better than them" and then actually being asked to do it.

I looked her up and found she is a lawyer. She received her JD from Pepperdine Caruso Law School, and she was legal counsel for the conservative group, Fix CA. I think that means she passed a bar somewhere. Either she is or she isn't, but it seems that she is a lawyer. I could be wrong. 🤷‍♀️

Every CA lawyer can be looked up on the bar association web site. If she's not on the web site, she's not a CA lawyer. I can't speak to other states though.

Read the article. The question is all about passing the bar… she did graduate law school but that doesn’t make you a lawyer and operating as such without passing the bar is illegal.

Man, that's an easy mistake to make. I'm not sure why peeps are jumping down your throat for it. As explained elsewhere, to be a GC in CA, you have to be an admitted lawyer. So you read what looks to be her misrepresentation and were misled. Which is why it is a violation of prof. ethics to make it.

I looked online and her name came up under Influential Women, The Moments Magazine and then I looked up Fix California and asked who their General Counsel was; It came up Katie Zacharia. I equated lawyer and General Counsel as one and the same. I was wrong.

"Influential Women" is a pay-to-play magazine that prints whatever you want to say about yourself for a fee. The fact that she identified herself as a GC is the entire problem - she does not appear to have been admitted to the bar in any state, which means she is not qualified for that role.

The article in the OP says she claims to have been their general counsel on her Linkedin page, but that's what's raising the question: either she's lying in her bio, licensed someplace that hasn't been checked, or was engaging in unauthorized practice of law. (Or possibly two or all three of those!)

My God! She just went from 0-to-the sycophantic equivalent of Geosynchronous Orbit in a *blink*! Seriously, she makes her predecessor look like Hypatia of Alexandria!

So she’s a Juris Doctor, but has never passed a bar and therefore has never been licensed to practice law. In spite of that, she claims to have been general counsel somewhere, a position that would require someone able to practice law. Seems fine for Trump’s standards.

Well...she does have a law degree from Pepperdine University's Caruso School of Law, but seemingly has nott taken any state bar exam. That makes her eligible to take a bar exam, but NOT a practicing lawyer.

Hmmm. Not so sure. Wiki* says she got her JD from University of Albany (NY), with distinction (1975). I'm sure they are just sofa king proud.

Aha! Thanks for the correction. I just took wiki* for true. I should have double-checked. or a double-double with bacon. Much appreciate.

If every Katie Zacharia lie is beeped out will we ever hear her voice? If every rump lie is beeped out will we ever hear his voice? Should the press corp fact check and say "beep" whenever a lie is told? Should this be a SNL skit? #SNL

She also claims she was certified when she worked in china. China has apparently said working in a Chinese law firm does not make you a Chinese certified lawyer. Also, would not make you an American one either.

In Trump's America, experts are condemned and laid off, while incompetent, untrained, but *loyal* people are promoted to positions of authority and given made up qualifications to "justify" their appointments.

Actually that only works with his administration or people that work for him. Meanwhile the rest of the country has to have background checks, licenses, diplomas, pass drug tests, etc. or we can’t be hired.

Red states have been whittling their state standards down to Trump standards. Police departments already don't do background checks on officers from other states, and taxpayers in most states pay the court damages for officers committing atrocities. It's been changing awhile now.

Well I live in Tx and you have to have a license to be an attorney, doctor, insurance agent, teacher accrediting and be bonded to do a janitorial job and you must get background checks for almost any job but I don’t know about the police.

Honestly, just wake me up when any one of these cretins tells the truth. Because THAT will actually be news worthy. And it’s sad that this is where we are. Because it’s exactly what they want - normalize lying, so that you can say and be anything you want, and we’re too exhausted to dispute it.

In my professional field, if you don't pass all the accredations and stay up to date, you can get in really deep shit by calling yourself by the official title. I guess lawyers don't care about that stuff.

Well by Republican standards, ignoramus imbecile Donald Trump is a President. So I guess Katie can be an attorney, and also a brain surgeon and a rocket scientist.

Having a law degree doesn’t make you a lawyer. Like having an English degree doesn’t make me British.

If she doesn’t have a license she’s not a lawyer, and can’t hold herself out as one. Any advice she gives would constitute the unauthorized practice of law. Law degrees don’t make you a lawyer, passing the bar an obtaining your license does.

A Pepperdine Law School grad. A not-so-wild guess: she may have taken the bar exam in California but not passed. (Cali has one of the lower pass rates.) Rather than study more and try again, as many do, she may have decided to forge ahead with a job that did not require her to be a licensed atty.

Today’s news (WSJ etc.) confirms my earlier guess: she left for the job in China after failing the California bar exam.

Just watching her first go now.. ermmm 😬🤷🏼‍♀️😂 we can’t all read off a script, love. You need to look people in the eyes. But I guess when you’re reading lies, that’s difficult to do. 🫣

Lie to themselves. 🤗Interesting. You remind me @luckiiyu.bsky.social It takes brains&trained mind to observe one’s own stinkin’ thinking’ it’s not easy for many especially addicted people Stinkin’ thinkin’ is a topical lesson in all 12 step programs It’s sorta like being woke? They hate woke…

Just another liar to add to his corrupt regime. I think if any one of them told the truth they’d burst into flames 🔥. Now that’s something I would love to see
