Alan Dershowitz Slams Decision to Suspend Rudy Giuliani’s Law License: ‘The Criteria is So Vague…There’d Be No Lawyers Left’

By Katherine HugginsJun 26th, 2021, 5:41 pm

Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Saturday morning that he does not think the suspension of Rudy Giuliani’s law license will hold up because “it was done without due process.”

Giuliani’s law license was suspended Thursday for “demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large.” The decision called out his work as a lawyer for former president Donald Trump and his campaign in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Dershowitz, who served on Trump’s defense team during his first impeachment and has worked with Giuliani in an advisory capacity, complained Saturday that the former NYC mayor never “had an opportunity to prove either that what he said was true or that if it wasn’t true that he didn’t know it.”

Giuliani, however, was given the opportunity to prove what he had alleged in terms of widespread voter fraud during the Pennsylvania suit, but the case was unanimously thrown out by the U.S. Court of Appeals because Giuliani’s team failed to show evidence that supported their claims.

2. It doesn't get less vague than that.

"Demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large"
It's all on the record.

And Dershowitz is being equally deceptive right here.

3. Speaking of Alan, do you think we will ever learn more about Epstein's little black book?

6. Are we sure Alan's on the same page as everyone else? Is he even reading the same book?

The reasoning why he was suspended is not vague at all.

I can think of serious falsehoods Giuliani has said off the top of my head.

His days of legal scholar glory are now but bitter memories and ashes.

And he deserves his fall.

To respond to the charges. His responses are recited at length in the court decision suspending his law license. There hasn't been a formal evidentiary hearing yet. The time for that is coming.
