Fenenbock Flub or Fib?

Here's an interesting little conversation. In the Northeast Democrats candidate forum, candidate Enrique Garcia raised the issue of Dori Fenenbock correcting him when he said he was the only attorney running for the congressional seat.

Personally, I don't think that is an asset, but thats just me. 

Anywho, Fenenbock corrected him and said she was an attorney. It caught my attention because Garcia made a comment that she hadn't passed the bar in Texas or Oklahoma. It was obviously a touchy subject for Fenenbock because as he's talking about it, she physically puts her hands on him, which I found as odd body language. 

Here's the video of the exchange.


So I checked with ALL 50 freaking states to see what the facts are. I didn't check with the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, etc because well damn it, you people don't pay me for the time I put into this stuff, so 50 states is enough!

After checking with all 50 states, there wasn't one single state that Dori Fenenbock had an active license in, which is interesting because she used the term "I'm a licensed attorney". She apparently had an active license to practice law at some point in Colorado, but that was the only state and her status is "inactive" according to the state official I spoke with.

So I checked on social media to find out what that term actually met. It basically means that a licensed attorney is someone who passed the bar exam or was admitted into a particular jurisdiction. 

At some point, she passed the bar in Colorado apparently. But her status is inactive. There isn't a courtroom in America that she can actually walk into today and legally practice law.

Whats more interesting is that despite what she says in the above video, when she was a candidate for trustee a couple of years ago, she admitted that she had never practiced law. 

Don't believe me? Well, I thought you might not. So I dusted off some interview I did that was in the ol' LionStar archives. Its included in the fun little video below...

Unless she practiced law in Colorado while she was a trustee, and then she went "inactive", then she doesn't appear to have ever actually practiced law by her own admission. But who knows, maybe she did. 

So did she misspeak or mislead? I guess you decide whether you think her claim of being a "licensed attorney" is misleading or accurate. 

But hey, I promised a video right? 

Well I remember how neat it was that the Fenenbock campaign spliced together a bunch of footage of Escobar and then set it to some Fleetwood Mac. Well, imitation is the highest form of flattery, que no?
