Arguing that “a license to practice law is not a license to lie,” nearly 1,500 lawyers issued a letter on Monday calling on bar associations across the country to investigate and, if needed, penalize the members of President Trump’s legal team, including the architect of his post-election strategy, Rudolph W. Giuliani.
“It is indefensible for lawyers to falsely proclaim widespread voting fraud, submit a pattern of frivolous court claims and actively seek to undermine citizens’ faith in our election’s integrity,” said the letter, which was signed by several former judges, former federal prosecutors and law professors. “We condemn this conduct without reservation.”
The letter comes as Mr. Trump and his Republican allies have lost or withdrawn from nearly 50 legal challenges to this year’s election, including five in five different states within about three hours on Friday evening alone. Even so, Mr. Trump’s lawyers and those representing his Republican allies have continued filing lawsuits, igniting criticism that they are acting frivolously, even irresponsibly.
In their letter on Monday, the signers noted that Mr. Giuliani — who recently tested positive for Covid-19, according to President Trump — has made baseless arguments in public about “massive fraud” in the election, but has tempered his claims under questioning in court, saying he was not alleging fraud.
“Mr. Giuliani’s aim is obvious,” the letter said. “To fuel Mr. Trump’s campaign to delegitimize the outcome of the election.”

I haven't seen the NYT post content this way before but when I got to the link to read the article, the browser tab reads "Biden Team Transition Updates" and this article is one of many - and appears farther down the page.
There. Fixed it.
This is one lawyer that is urging an investigation of the Bar Association, the NYT’s, and lawyers across the country. What a huge reservoir of corruption they would find.
These are the same people who would be glad to defend Charles Manson or any leftwing scumbo. Check and see if any of the signers are from a corporate law firm you are paying for legal services.
They know the evidence that is coming out is going to be damaging.
We must be getting close!
“Investigate” lawyers trying to expose fraud.
How very....Venezuelan of them.
They really want a shooting war, don’t they? Stupid little pantywaists.
How despicable. If we can’t overcome such fraud NOW, the coup will have succeeded and our goose is cooked.
Jeez, if they start pulling on that thread, the entire attorney industry will come crashing down...
We're looking agt 0.001%..very impressive...
Right.
That’s the kind of democratic justice these lawyers want for America!
They’re not about bringing a case with facts, evidence, reasoning and the law to justify their action, but rather, they bring only their hatred and self-interest, as expressed in their signatures—without evidentiary support or a legal charge—to defame their adversary, to shame him into resignation and/or conceding in that last “election.”
These lawyers—and the NYT—are all TRAITORS—bought and paid for by the Democrat Communist cabal and/or Soros!!!!
[[Arguing that “a license to practice law is not a license to lie,”]]
Then why are yall lyin by claimin there aint no evidence of fraud? Please go turn in your licences to practice law- have a nice day
Patriots across the country are urging the investigation of the publishers of the New York Times for making illegal in kind contributions to the Joe Biden campaign.
I fixed it!
Who coordinates these? The press? Don’t they mean 1500 democrats who hate Trump and happen to be lawyers?
Just like 500 previous military officers and 300 previous administration officials - it’s just democrats who hate Trump.
What a load.
Resort To Authority
The defense of weaklings and cowards.
Diversion plain and simple.
I think that is just their style, which they do for wevery President. In first instance article refer to him as “President,” then “Mr.,” thereafter.
“It is indefensible for lawyers to falsely proclaim”
Prove that it’s “false”, criminals.
