New York State Bar investigates Giuliani for role in Capitol riots
Jerusalem Post ^ | January 11, 2021 | Aaron Reich

Posted on 01/11/2021 11:03:17 AM PST by Stravinsky

Association launched a historic investigation into US President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani on Monday for his role in supporting and provoking the storming of the US Capitol building. Before the riots, which saw Trump supporters violently storm the Capitol to stop Congress from certifying the electoral victory of President-elect Joe Biden, Giuliani gave a speech where he called for a "trial by combat."

...

"As the nation’s largest voluntary state bar association, NYSBA has a responsibility to defend and protect the rule of law," it said in a statement. "Based on these complaints, and the statement Mr. Giuliani uttered shortly before the attack on the Capitol, NYSBA President Scott M. Karson has launched an inquiry pursuant to the Association’s bylaws to determine whether Mr. Giuliani should be removed from the membership rolls of the Association."

The investigation is further motivated by the fact that Giuliani could be seen as violating NYSBA bylaws by supporting "the overthrow of the government of the United States, or of any state, territory or possession thereof, or of any political subdivision therein, by force or other illegal means."

I hate to say it, but Rudy pretty much puts his foot in his mouth everytime he’s out there.

Either he is trying to sabotage Trump, or he’s just past his prime.

Rudy should wear this as a badge of honor he fought for election integrity and they tried to disbar him

Doesn’t he have a team/relatives who care about him? It’s been clear for at least a year he has issues, and should be protected from public speaking.

There was no riot.

I saw riots in various cities this summer, so I know what they look like.

I was there on Jan. 6, there was no riot.

If these people didn’t have to take any responsibility for what they incited then they can bugger off about anyone associated with POTUS and this flimsy lie they have concocted.

Investigate THIS:

What time did the first ANTIFA enter the Capitol?

What did Trump say and why aren't the media playing the tape?

What time did Trump say what the Left pretends concerns them?

There at present many articles and individual posts proposing the question of what we are to do to prevent our country and our way of life from being lost.

I beg to differ.

Our country is already lost and the question should be: What will we do to get it back?

It is lost because a country that can create crimes that never existed, warrants clearly illegal and a chain of evidence that is clearly pure fiction as they did in the case of General Flynn and Roger Stone is not the same country created by our founders and designed to operate under the Constitution.

If the people now in control of our country can ban the sitting president from social media, threaten impeachment based on fictitious charges, use the 25th Amendment to throw him out of office, they can do the same to any one of us.

The fact that threats are being made today to silence or remove Nunes, Hawley, Cruz and any others who shared their views and efforts and to ban Trump employees from any future public job demonstrates that no citizen of the United States is safe from their punishment.

Sidney Powell, Flynn for the second time and all who worked with them are next to get punished. General Flynn must be a very brave and patriotic man to subject himself to another “treatment”.

The facts are irrefutable. The country is already lost and the remaining question is: What are we going to do to get it back?

“...Before the riots, which saw Trump supporters violently storm the Capitol to stop Congress from certifying the electoral victory of President-elect Joe Biden,”


Couple of things.
Riots? Now there were multiple ‘riots’?
‘Violently ström’? I saw people just walking inside. I saw no smoke from fires.
‘stop from certifying’? The only thing that was stopped was the challenging of Arizona’s electors and the presentation of evidence against them.

The purge will extend beyond social media sites, will go real time.

What, they took this long to actually get up the nerve to accuse Giuliani of the preposterous? They must really fear him and the truth. It is clear to me that our governments are full of very small people, easy to intimidate and willing abandon any sense of justice or morality for political reasons. God help us all.
