The Times also noted that the White House announcement described her as general counsel for Fix California,… A person familiar with her tenure told the Journal that she directed and served as the organization's point of contact for outside lawyers
This is a way way bigger deal than her calling herself a lawyer casually IMO. If someone studied law then in some technicality they can say theyre a “lawyer” without claiming to be an attorney.
But the phrase “General Counsel” is a title that specifically means someone is the head in-house attorney employed by a company. There is no ambiguity. That is absolutely false representation. She was basically a receptionist or coordinator for actual attorneys
