The law-evading Hillary Clinton campaign-staffer who was recently snared by undercover video-journalist James O\u2019Keefe was also kicked out a courtroom when she tried to practice law without a law license in 2014.<\/h2>\n

Christine Gupana, a law graduate and a Hillary For Nevada fellow, was caught urging apparent\u00a0Clinton staffers and volunteers to register voters without first getting a needed license from a county clerk.\u00a0\u201cDo whatever you can. Whatever you can get away with, just do it, until you get kicked out, like, totally,\u201d Gupana said in O\u2019Keefe\u2019s video.<\/p>\n

Gupana has gone into virtual hiding<\/a> since the video\u2019s release, and Nevada election officials in the Secretary of State\u2019s office have opened a formal investigation into her conduct on the Clinton campaign.<\/p>\n

In 2014, court\u00a0records reveal<\/a> that Gupana was removed from a case after a judge found that she was not a member of the U.S. District Court\u2019s Bar, and thus not licensed to work on the case.<\/p>\n

Gupana was found to be in violation of legal rules while representing the defendant in the case Zarandioun v. US Department of Homeland Security<\/em>.\u00a0\u201cNOTICE: of Non-Compliance with Special Order 109: that Christina Gupana is in violation of Special Order 109 and Local Rule IA 10-1. You are required to become a member of the U.S. District Court\u2019s Bar and register for the Courts Case Management and Electronic Case Filing\u00a0(CM\/ECF) program,\u201d the Court stated on January 2, 2014.<\/p>\n

The Court invited Gupana to complete the admission process and register as required.<\/p>\n

But on March 11, 2014, the Court was still waiting for Gupana to register for the Bar.\u00a0\u201cNOTICE: of Non-Compliance with Special Order 109 and Attorney Action Required: that Christina R. Gupana is in violation of Special Order 109 and Local Rule IA 10-1. 1. The Court has no record of you being admitted to the U.S. District Courts bar,\u201d the Court stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cParticipation in the electronic filing system became mandatory for all attorneys effectiveJanuary 1, 2006<\/span>. You are required to become a member of the U.S. District Court\u2019s Bar prior to registering for the Courts Case Management and Electronic Case Filing (CM\/ECF) program 3,\u201d the Court added.<\/p>\n

The defendant got a new attorney, and kicked Gupana from the case on March 20, 2014.<\/p>\n

Gupana graduated from UNLV Law School, according to a self-written bio<\/a>, and is \u201cadmitted to practice in the state of Nevada.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gupana was a key member of the Clinton operation in Nevada. She has not only been photographed in a small office group<\/a> with Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, but she was also photographed with Podesta\u2019s hand on her right shoulder after a jog, just days before the O\u2019Keefe video came out. Gupana did not return a request for comment.<\/p>\n
