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 Trump and his Republican allies have lost or withdrawn from nearly 50 legal challenges to this year’s election, including five in five different states within about three hours on Friday evening alone.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.”

Overall, except for the one fellow, all the lawyers I have met are total messes. Parasites.

I am sure sorry to hear that. They had a bad enough reputation to begin with. Apparently they have gotten worse.
Only members of the party in good standing will get jobs and promotions.
Where have I heard that before?
OMG, there are 1500 lawyers from around the country urging the bar to investigate Trump’s legal team? Damn, there are more lawyers in L.A. county than that. The national bar asso. says there are over 177,000 lawyers in California. Fake news try’s to create a “nothing there” story.
So if a lawyer proclaims his client innocent, and his client is found guilty, should that lawyer be disciplined?
Lawyers from the cesspool, a level even lower than the swamp, but not by much
Irony is lost on those reprobates isn’t it ?
Nice and convenient for them to put names on a list along with cities where they practice.
Lawrence Tribe. What a surprise.
Marc Elias - not on it yet.
Michael Cohen - not on it yet.
Andrew Weissmann - not on it yet.
Robert Mueller - not on it yet.
There are 1.33 million lawyers in the U.S.
Having dismissed in both a legal and common-sense phrasing (statist judges refuse to look at the case and rule, essentially, go away kid) they intend to prevent further truthtelling by punishing the whistleblowers.
Facts and truth have no place in their world schema.
That’s at least a million too many and the damn universities keep cranking out more of the parasites.
Scum bag lawyers worried whether Pres. Trump hired scum bag lawyers?
“Zealous representation” needs to be reigned in and penalized up to and including disbarment, with emphasis on the latter. This also applies to the fact trier!
The media always called Reagan the same thing. That changes back when a communist is installed. Then it’s “the president.”

Yes, leaving only scorched earth in their wake. The truth becomes whatever they allow to be spoken or written about without destroying the speaker/writer.
A Republic of Laws has become a republic of lawyers.

thanks
Good evening.
Could patriots get the list of attorneys from the NYT that want to prosecute their political opponents? Not saying they are seditious, or vindictive...
Or anti-American.
Just looking for “justice.” Social justice don’t you know.
So I would like a list. Preferably those attorneys close by my AO.
Oh, when was the last state, fed AG or DA that was assissinated? Remember? Was it the Gambino family who was trying to correct an “injustice?”. Maybe Genovese? Maybe Fidel?
Don’t know, but a couple of Kennedys know. And one of the Kennedys have been sober for 14 years.
Looks like 1861, blood will be spilled.

Then also investigate all of those 1500 lawyers as well - they are trying to make the process the punishment for all of Trump’s lawyers, just for political purposes. They are also trying to interfere in the attorney-client relationship, which is definitely a violation of every single state’s rules of legal ethics.
Better be careful around those lawyers. I know one who goes armed. He carries a S&W Safety Hammerless in .32 S&W. He let me look at it once. There was so much play in the frame hinge the the cylinder wouldn’t index reliably. Bolt stop was extremely worn.
Yup
