@ggreenwald I know a number of lawyers who've done both prosecution and defense, or corp law and plaintiff side work. Different roles.
@chrislhayes Sure, but in law the ethical responsibilities more clear and policed by profession. Journos don't police theirs. @ggreenwald

@emptywheel@ggreenwald do you really want a journalist org w the power of the bar? Shudder. -
@chrislhayes But I was noting that the ethical rules in law do make it easier to go both ways.@ggreenwald -
@emptywheel@chrislhayes@ggreenwald Agree, tho note there are issues where pattern of judges all ex-prosecutors. Role issues in law too. -
@ericmendelsohn Or where all the lawyers on the Senate Judiciary Committee are ex-prosecutors?@chrislhayes@ggreenwald -
@emptywheel@chrislhayes@ggreenwald Yup. Can't assume tht bcse some role-changes are ok all or most ok. Govt -> journo real problem area.
