City Attorney Aguirre Subpoena

In case you haven't been following the saga of city attorney Mike Aguirre (I haven't), the State issued a subpoena in its investigation for info from several law firms that worked with his office.

For at least a few months, Bar investigators have been interviewing people about Aguirre's legal work, public comments and other behavior. The Bar licenses and disciplines the state's lawyers. It can mete out punishment ranging from a private reprimand to disbarment.

Basically, it seems our emminent attorney recieved improper payments and meted out improper case judgements. And I thought when politics and lawyers mixed punishment wouldn't be involved.
