The D.C. Bar's disciplinary counsel recommended Thursday that Rudy Giuliani be disbarred after a hearing panel tentatively determined he likely violated at least one professional conduct rule in his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Pennsylvania.
The panel said its determination was preliminary and nonbinding, and because of that it declined to specify what rule Giuliani, who contested the election results as former President Donald Trump’s lawyer, had likely violated. It will release a final decision in several weeks, after hearing recommendations related to what discipline Giuliani should receive, assuming the preliminary finding stands.
Hamilton “Phil” Fox, of the District of Columbia Office of Disciplinary Counsel, called for the harshest penalty for Giuliani, disbarment, after the panel announced its tentative finding, saying Giuliani tried to undermine the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election.
“Any lawyer that engages in this kind of misconduct, harming the country as this has done, has at least got to realize that his or her law license is at risk,” Fox said.
At the conclusion of the proceedings, Giuliani expressed outrage towards the panel for allowing Fox to assert what he characterized as a "personal attack." While airing a series of grievances, Giuliani defended his attempts to contest the 2020 election results, which he continues to claim he had reason to believe was rigged.
Giuliani’s lawyer, John Leventhal, argued for a just a minor disciplinary measure, like a letter of reprimand or private admonition, arguing that the disciplinary counsel’s arguments rely heavily on politics.
“We feel that the least serious discipline should be imposed, otherwise you’re going to chill effective advocacy in the future,” Leventhal said.

What evil people.
Does ADAM SCHIFF still have his law license because HE IS A WALKING ETHICS VIOLATION.
We can now add Big Law to the institutions that have allowed themselves to be corrupted by Deep State.
President Trump and all his associates are continually accused of criminal and ethical violations. But the accusers never specify just what law or ethical standard has been violated. Another nothing burger par for the course.
NBC/ComPukes ==> DC Bar Pukes ==> Get America’s Mayor
Let’s reverse that direction.
“The panel said its determination was preliminary and nonbinding, and because of that it declined to specify what rule Giuliani, who contested the election results as former President Donald Trump’s lawyer, had likely violated.”
You find us the man, we’ll find the crime.
Anymore he is supposed to be disbarred because well.. we don’t know, but it is “LIKELY” he committed ethics violations.
I see the problem here is actually the ethics of those who want to disbar him because it is “likely”.
previously:
The Democrat-controlled panel, known as the Board on Professional Responsibility, nonetheless gave Clinesmith a pass, rubberstamping the light sentence he negotiated with the bar’s chief prosecutor, Disciplinary Counsel Hamilton “Phil” Fox, while admitting it was “unusual.” Federal Election Commission records show Fox, a former Watergate prosecutor, is a major donor to Democrats, including former President Obama. All three members of the board also are Democratic donors, FEC data reveal.
Well THERE’S an unbiased source...
Giuliani is another person guilty of..in his case..making NYC great,again.
The Communist Purge Continues To Grow Exponentially & Nothing Is Being Done About It!
“Likely”?? Wow, that’s some standard for a bunch of lawyers.
Rudi could see a physician regarding his case
of Giuliani-barréd syndrome
Same thing with Trump being suspended from twitter...we find out from Musk that he violated no rules.
They couldn’t bring criminal charges...so they punish him in a forum where he has no recourse.
Hah! The DC barr association should have the words “ethics violators” printed on their letterhead.
