Filing A Legal Ethics Complaint Against John O’Neill and other related disclosure matters

I/we are seeing the below ethics complaint form, to file against John O’Neill, floating around on DU threads.

This is a great idea, BUT this form has to be filed based on actual facts where John E. O’Neill is actually violating Texas State Laws governing the legal practice of law. Without this information, you are wasting your time, and will ruin your welcome at the Texas Bar Association.

To make this work and nail our favorite scumbag John E. O’Neill, you need to contact the Texas Democratic Party and get them to help you and coordinate this effort. The head of TDP is a powerful Houston attorney named Charles Soechting, with a very powerful law Firm that donates heavily to the DNC.

Soechting, and one of his partners John O'Quinn, who is a major heavy weight and big money attorney, knows John Edwards. O'Quinn particularly hates O'Neill! If DU can give these cannon attorney's the ammo they need, these guyes will destroy O'Neill and his two-bit SBVT frauds. Also John Edwards is going after Dick Cheney to drag him down as part of the new Kerry-Edwards "Tough Love" campaign initiative!

Further, neither Presidential party is campaigning in Texas because it is not a swing State. So don’t think that Texas Democrats know what hard working DUers here know! This is one hell of a site, with a ton of good information. Send the TDP everything and get to know these people WELL!

Also, Soechting has been quite unhappy, and very vocal, with Terry McAuliffe and the DNC over Kerry-Edwards not campaigning in Texas because so many Texas Republicans, like our Cartel, have turned their back on Bush-Cheney.

No, Kerry-Edwards cannot carry Texas, but they could go to Texas and raise a boatload of money, and make all the contacts with people that personally know all the individuals in the “Bush-Cheney’s Texas Mafia” which includes Fraud O’Neil and his chum buddies!

Here is TDP’s site:
http://www.txdemocrats.org/

Also check this TDP web page out:
http://www.txdemocrats.org/news/delay/index.php

Soechting wants Bush’s “War Dog” and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s (Houston) head on a stick BAD!!! DeLay is the most corrupt politician in America and is under a massive criminal grand jury investigation for campaign financing fraud, bribery, extortion, money laundering, and racketeering.

This is important to all Kerry-Edwards supporters, because Bob Perry (Houston) is Tom DeLay’s single largest donor. Bob "200,000 SBVT donor” Perry has been in bed with Delay, with their political criminal enterprise, for years and both are involved in this O’Neill-SBVT fradulent scam. Understanding this, you will then understand that all their activity ties back to Bush-Cheney and their “Texas Mafia” partners, which is what my Cartel is trying to expose and drag down criminally. – T.A.B.

2. Warning guys, this will backfire
Politically motivated (web generated) ethics complaints will not be taken seriously and will, in fact, be used by O'Neil to argue he's the subject of a political vendetta. This is a mistake. Leave it to the locals.

4. Not gonna happen, sorry
Keep in mind that we have Governor Good Hair in Austin, and most of the judges are GOP. Add to it that lawyers don't like to sanction other lawyers. They have to be guilty of GROSS and OBVIOUS misconduct to get so much as a slap on the wrist. This will go absolutely nowhere.
