Giuliani hit with ethics charge by DC Bar over false election fraud claims
The Hill ^ | 06/10/22 | CAROLINE VAKIL

Rudy Giuliani was hit with an ethics charge by the Washington, D.C., Office of Disciplinary Counsel on Friday over his promotion of baseless claims about fraud in the 2020 presidential election before a federal court in Pennsylvania, jeopardizing his ability to practice law in the city.

The D.C. Bar’s disciplinary arm said that he had violated the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct by bringing a proceeding and asserting “issues therein without a non-frivolous basis in law and fact for doing so” and engaging “in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice,” according to the filing.

The complaint said that Giuliani provided insufficient sourcing to prove his allegations that election fraud had taken place in Pennsylvania.

Giuliani “further justified his allegations of fraud against the” defendant counties in the case “by promising the district court that ‘statistical analysis will evidence that over 70,000 mail and other mail ballots which favor [President] Biden were improperly counted,’ … but Respondent should have known the ‘evidence’ he provided relied upon false or faulty statistics and analysis,” the complaint read.

The former New York City mayor also claimed he had 300 statements and affidavits that would have provided proof of said fraud taking place in the state, according to the filing.

But the complaint said that “the affidavits, declarations, and statements that he provided to the district court and other bodies were (a) unsupported, (b) unrelated to [former President] Trump voters, (c) involve conduct outside the seven Defendant Counties, and (d) by their own terms were isolated incidents that could not have affected the presidential election’s results by offsetting the Biden majority of over 80,000 votes.”

Giuliani was admitted to the D.C. Bar in 1976, but in 2002, his status became inactive. Last year, the New York Supreme Court’s appellate division suspended his law license in that state.

The Hill has reached out to Giuliani and a lawyer for Giuliani for comment.

Apparently, they did not watch 2000 Mules.

Biden brags about the scope of the oncoming fraud, runs a “csmpaign” that only makes sense if he knows the fix is in, it was talked about at the time ... but those saying there was a Steal are suspect?

DC apparently has its own outlet from the Ministry of Truth now covering these aspects.

For God’s sake...SOMEBODY, SOME LAWYER, SOMEONE WITH CLOUT HELP THIS GOOD MAN.

It pains me to see what they are doing to an honest, good man who deserves so much credit for cleaning up NYC, the Mafia and so much more.

He DESERVES HELP. I PRAY THERE IS SOMEBODY WHO CAN HELP HIM.

Perhaps our evil Justice system is too powerful to help anyone who tries to do the right thing.

They’ve debunked 2000 Mules.

What we have here is gaslighting.

The Left simply can't leave this great American alone.

Now that I think about it, the Left can't leave any great American alone.

Without the media's 24/7 propaganda, the domestic Left -- which basically lives in a perpetual 1971 All in the Family rerun -- would be nothing.

The DC bar did this? I think the Pennsy bar would be the place to raise the issue.

A simple blood exam to determine if the student’s DNA is XX or XY would be a lot simpler than this bill. The DNA results could be noted on a form signed by the DR doing the test.

Thanks and bookmarked.

IIRC, there are numbers showing Biden got more votes with fewer counties than Obama. Just looking at his lack of campaigning and rarely leaving Delaware, that is simply impossible.

What we have here is old '60s and '70s "activists" -- some of them billionaires, aided by their indoctrinated kids and grandkids -- trying to make the country finally buy their antiquated hippie-era "causes" before they croak. The old grey-bearded '60s and '70s "activists" high up in the media are more than ready to help them, because they have the same goals.

Rational people often wonder Why is all this crap happening? And the reason is, we have a pretty large segment of the older, Leftist, population trying to shoehorn the crazy, violent, drug-fueled, race-warring '60s and '70s into 2022. This is cognitive dissonance on steroids.
