Rudy Giuliani’s law license has been suspended.
In a ruling handed down by the New York State Supreme Court Thursday, the state’s Attorney Grievance Committee successfully moved to have the former New York mayor’s license suspended. Specifically, Giuliani’s actions related to his defense of former President Donald Trump were to blame, according to the court.
“We conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at reelection in 2020,” the court found. “These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent’s narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client. We conclude that respondent’s conduct immediately threatens the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law.”
Among the violations the court cited was Giuliani’s repeated false claim of voter fraud in Pennsylvania.
From the court ruling:
Respondent repeatedly stated that in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania more absentee ballots came in during the election than were sent out before the election. The factual “proof” he claimed supported his conclusion was that although Pennsylvania sent out only 1,823,148 absentee ballots before the election, 2,589,242 million absentee ballots were then counted in the election. This factual statement regarding the number of ballots mailed out before the election was simply untrue. The true facts are that 3.08 million absentee ballots were mailed out before the general election, which more than accounted for the over 2.5 million mail-in ballots that were actually tallied. Notwithstanding the true facts, respondent repeatedly advanced false statements that there were 600,000 to 700,000 fabricated mail-in ballots, which were never sent to voters in advance of the election.
The court noted six instances in which Giuliani repeated this claim, including on his radio show, Steve Bannon’s podcast, and in a meeting before before Michigan’s House Oversight committee.
This story is breaking.
Beyond belief.
Soviet punishment.
Either mouth the Party Line or be stripped of your livelihood.
You are dead wrong. They are governing by fist and by fear, and it is those of us on the sidelines who will suffer their ongoing "desperation."
There wasn’t this much attention in the press when President Bill Clinton’s Arkansas law license was suspended for five years because he admitted he lied to investigators in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case.
Don’t they have to prove that Giuliani knew the statement to be false when he said it?
Rudy got this “false” info from the PA SOS website. Later the SOS claimed it had not been updated when the cited numbers were up there. So, it sounds like the statement was true at one point and the SOS did some back filling to make it look false later.
“How does one man assert his power over another, Winston?“
Winston thought. “By making him suffer”, he said.
“Exactly. By making him suffer. Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery is torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but MORE merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain. The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy – everything. Already we are breaking down the habits of thought which have survived from before the Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“You are dead wrong. They are governing by fist and by fear, and it is those of us on the sidelines who will suffer their ongoing “desperation.””
100% correct. They know what they are doing. The USA is becoming a modern version of the Soviet Union.
There is a sort of war going on.
Wow, we are thoroughly Sovietized.
I wonder if he is registered to practice in any other state?
The true facts are that 3.08 million absentee ballots were mailed out before the general election, which more than accounted for the over 2.5 million mail-in ballots that were actually tallied.
Wonder where they got that number. From the Pennsylvania Governor, Lt Governor, SOS?
If anyone, in a right and sane mind, trusts anything that government, at every single level, tells you, you definitely ARE NOT of a right and sane mind.
They are ‘unperson-ing’ him in an effort to marginalize and isolate Trump.....................
One thing that should be noted is that in NY, the Supreme Court is not the highest court in the State. My recollection is that it is actually the first court that hears a case. I don’t know the particulars, but I am sure someone here has better knowledge. It makes it sound like it is an unappealable ruling.
The quote about the incorrect number of mail in ballots in Pennsylvania is true. That was an error based on primary figures in Pennsylvania.
None of which has anything to do with any NY Court.
If Giuliani made the error on Steve Bannon’s show, so what?
This is an absolute outrage. What a banana republic NY and the Fascist Left are.
I hope soon in Florida......................
‘
Rudy and Matt Gaetz spoke up about Hunter.
They’ll both be indicted because - Hunter is off limits.
.
Well let’s take the claims to court and see if Rudy’s claims of fraud were DEMONSTRABLY false, as were the claims of Russian collusions.
BTW, in a sane world wouldn’t Adam Shit be losing his license?
TRUST THE PLAN!!!!! /s
There is a ulterior motive at work here and it’s not about Rudy..........................
