Assistant US Attorney Richard C Cheng liar (Score 1)

Perhaps someone in California ought to file a complaint with the state Bar Association about the statements Richard C Cheng of the US Attorney's office in San Diego made. From to the decision:
    Quoting the Cheng submission: [...] The United States denied each and every ...
    The judge: This allegation is simply not true.

    In presenting a matter to a tribunal, a member:
    [snip]

Looks pretty straightforward to me. It wasn't a US court, but it clearly was a "tribunal" and one that he was communicating with in his official capacity as a lawyer and as Assistant US Attorney.

He should be fired from the US Attorney's office at the very least, if not disbarred.
