IIRC, she claimed to be a lawyer, but she's never passed the bar exam. If she didn't claim to be a lawyer, it wouldn't be a thing.

It's to distract people from her ties to China and the fact that she's very apparently a Chinese spy who paid for the access she'll be receiving.

Any evidence to back up a claim like this?

Do we really want Jo Blow as the intermediary between the president and the press? Is that considered a positive?

Call me crazy, but I’d much rather see an academic or a respected journalist in that position, considering that their wording is paramount and transparency is currency. I’d like to know that Joe Blow has enough comprehension and integrity to be clearly understood.

I think George W. Bush is a great example of why “I’d have a beer with that person” is a terrible metric for political positions.

None taken.

She lied about it, the sneaky lil minx.

Everyone knows Joe's nose blows!

Not to be nitpicky, but you can be a lawyer without passing the bar. But to be an attorney, you have to pass the bar. Yes there is technically a difference. But here’s the thing most people aren’t going to understand that difference . If you’re claiming to be a lawyer, a lot of people will interpret that to be claiming to be an attorney.

But she also claimed that she did work and in order to do said work you have to be an attorney. And that’s where a big problem because there’s no record of her passing the bar.

Better explanation

This job isn't for Joe Blow, for the same reason I wouldn't want Joe Blow flying my plane
