Hillary Clinton’s Law License Targeted Amid Ethics Complaint Over Role in Russia Collusion Hoax

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is facing a new ethics complaint targeting her law license in Arkansas, as reported by Fox News.

The government watchdog group Democracy Restored filed the complaint this week, urging the Arkansas state bar to review whether Clinton’s actions during the 2016 presidential campaign violated the state’s rules of professional conduct.

The complaint cites the Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct relating to “Dishonesty” and “Prejudice to the Administration of Justice,” calling for a formal review of Clinton’s ability to practice law in the state.

It points to declassified documents released by the Senate Judiciary Committee that shed more light on Clinton’s role in promoting the Russia collusion allegations against President Donald Trump.

According to the complaint, a declassified annex suggests that Clinton approved a plan created by an advisor to spread false information designed “to smear” Trump and divert attention from legal scrutiny she was facing at the time.

The watchdog group said this revelation demands a long-overdue inquiry into her status as a licensed attorney.

The filing outlines Clinton’s connections to opposition research that began in April 2016, including the use of unverified and unvetted information that was elevated to federal investigators and the media.

It also cites recently released records alleging that Clinton personally approved an effort to amplify what it described as “bad intelligence” during the campaign.

“If there is one political scandal synonymous with the 2016 election, it is Operation Crossfire Hurricane,” a Democracy Restored director told Fox News Digital.

“Former Secretary Clinton’s utilization of a bunk dossier by a foreign ex-spy to harm a political opponent violates basic ethical norms as well as the Arkansas bar’s own rules of conduct for attorneys. The Arkansas bar needs to take a serious look at former Secretary Clinton’s involvement in this scandal and take appropriate action.”

The complaint acknowledges that no criminal charges have been filed against Clinton. However, Democracy Restored noted that the American Bar Association rules require lawyers to be held to higher standards, even without criminal charges.

The group said that recently released records have raised the prospect of a renewed federal investigation into Clinton’s conduct.

A spokesperson for the Arkansas Supreme Court Office of Professional Conduct confirmed to Fox News Digital that the grievance was received on Wednesday and “will be processed as all complaints are.”

This development comes amid broader fallout from the Russia collusion narrative.

Just a day earlier, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revoked the security clearances of 37 current and former intelligence officials, accusing them of politicizing and manipulating intelligence during the Trump administration.

A DNI memo circulated Monday included the names of individuals from the CIA, NSA, State Department, and National Security Council.

Among them was former Obama-era DNI James Clapper, whom Gabbard accused of instructing officials to “compromise” standard procedures in order to rush a 2017 intelligence assessment about Russia’s activities in the 2016 election.

“Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right,” Gabbard wrote in a post on X.

“Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold.”

The Arkansas bar review of Clinton’s law license is expected to move forward in the coming weeks as part of the formal complaint process.
