Trump to this day rails about politicizing the DOJ, and yet is about to do so

I like Mel Gibson he should be given his gun rights back. He didn't go to court and cooperated with what he was sentenced to. I don't know why the attorney refused she wasn't making the determination to restore his gun rights but her refusal cost her job...

As a licensed attorney she's not supposed to just do everything she's told when it comes to legal advice. She has an ethical obligation render independent judgments.

The bosses could have recommended restoration of Gibson's gun rights despite the fired lawyer's refusal. I suspect she was fired for not agreeing with the president's agenda, and that should never happen.

An attorney working for a client must do what is requested by the client provided the request is not criminal conduct. Sometimes attorneys will refuse to do something because they see the judge everyday and know if they proceed with what the client wants will pissoff the judge so they refuse to comply.  Under the law unless the attorney has legal cause they must comply and do what the client wants to the best of their ability.  Attorney can be sued for refusing. In this situation the attorney was fired from their job for not complying.
