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.
Oh, this is gonna get good!!!!!
I thought the standard was a lawyer had to make knowingly false statements to face sanction. If he said what he knew to be true based on available data at the time, it’s just petty to strike him for it.
They are beyond petty.
You assume a lack of bias in the courts that has no basis in observable reality.
Rudy, and anyone else caught up in today’s “legal” system, is screwed...
Worth noting that Rudy Giuliani — or his attorneys, at least — is supposed to be in DC court this afternoon regarding the defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, per @kpolantz. Dominion is suing Giuliani & others.— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) June 24, 2021

Interesting little bit of weasel-word legalese in the statement:
“We conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence...”
“Uncontroverted” is NOT the same as “Incontrovertible”.
Uncontroverted (spellcheck doesn’t seem to like this word) merely means something Has Not Yet Been Controverted.
Incontrovertible means something that CANNOT be Controverted.
Treasonous, Stalinazi pigs.

Even if everything he says was a lie, Congress lies constantly.
Defense lawyers have to lie to defend their clients.
In other words....lawyers lie!
If every criminal defense attorney had their licenses suspended for making a “false claim” in court or in front of the news media, ambulance chasers would have to....I don’t know....perhaps find employment building solar panels.
Josef Stolen and his Brownshirt SS...................
Whenever two sides meet in court, one or both are lying.............
One of the main goals of the ongoing bipartisan coup is to deny President Trump counsel. This is just the latest chapter in that long book.
We also saw that with the law firms that refused to represent the Trump campaign was the steal was confirmed. Those law firms still work for the GOP, though. Apparently, it’s only Trump and his voters that are not worthy of defence against disenfrachisement.
“When I was a kid in the 60’s, those 3 Munchkins were creepy.......................”
I’m an adult in my 60’s and those 3 munchkins are still creepy.

The brief continues to lay out the facts that Rudy lied - knowingly.
He lied to the court - and it is all there in black and white if people will read it.
But in true FR tradition - you won't.
Rudy tried to play TWO games - one with all of you - CLAIMING FRAUD - and another with the court (READ THE TRANSCIPTS) - saying there was NO FRAUD. Yet - you all think he is some hero for this.
READ IT - it is ALL THERE. And if you think THIS makes him a hero - you are very very sad.

Show me the man
and I will find the crime
Marx, Lennin, Stalin, PolPot, Mao, Biden.
They are attempting to provoke a so-called “extremist” response.
If it fails within a reasonable time, I suspect they’ll try another false flag.
But you know, President Trump doesn’t look worried or unhappy. And Pelosi and Schumer aren’t smugly bragging either.
And Dementia Joe is coming across as a Woke Joke to foreign leaders.
There are no coincidences.
A lawyer’s license suspended for telling lies?!??
That means there isn’t a lawyer around who can practice law..
