New York Suspends Giuliani's Law License

A New York appellate court suspended Rudolph W. Giuliani’s law license on Thursday after a disciplinary panel found that he made “demonstrably false and misleading” statements about the 2020 election as Donald J. Trump’s personal attorney. The court wrote in a 33-page decision that Mr. Giuliani’s conduct threatened “the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law.”

Mr. Giuliani helped lead Mr. Trump’s legal challenge to the election results, arguing without merit that the vote had been rife with fraud and that voting machines had been rigged. “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 decision read.

A lawyer for Mr. Giuliani could not be immediately reached for comment. Mr. Giuliani, who was admitted to the state bar in New York in 1969, once had a prominent legal career. He worked in the Justice Department during the Reagan administration, and was named the United States Attorney in Manhattan in 1983.

He was mayor of New York City for eight years, rising to national prominence as he steered the city through the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

2. Ever since Acosta switched gigs

he has been like Rambo.

[forgotmylogin]

36. And his spawn is already hollering about it in a poorly framed video...

...identifying the names of the disciplinary body in hopes of putting them in danger, calling them a "cancer that needs to be cut out".

42. That little snot

needs to distance himself from his crazy, toxic father before he gets dragged into the muck and mire. Probably too late though. He could be compromised as well.

[mpcamb]

50. That little creep should be in a cell with his old man.

[ShazzieB]

53. Poorly framed AND shot with the sun shining directly into his eyes and him squinting into it!

[Corgigal]

3. Thanks New York.

[3Hotdogs]

30. Yeah? Fuck me. They can't do that to

America's Mayor.


B.T.W., one of my favorite songs, ever.

14. Is he disbarred or did they just suspend his license temporarily?

[Tomconroy]

16. Suspended pending a full hearing on his conduct.

[ShazzieB]

51. Yes...and it sure sounds like he'll end up being disbarred for real.

The charges are serious, the evidence against him is very strong and his "defense" (if you can even call it that) was as flimsy as a piece of toilet paper.

Dude is going DOWN. 👇👎

39. We can only wish that Ken Paxton suffer the same fate!

8. You know who can still practice law in New York?

9. why suspended? why temporarily? why not permanently? nt

[jmowreader]

13. Read the motion that's slightly upthread

They suspended his license, which is done to instantly shut down his practice while the disbarment is going through. I believe they will disbar him, but they must hold hearings to do that.

I also believe Sidney Powell and Lin Wood will meet the same fate.

[onetexan]

15. Woooopp!! K&R

[COL Mustard]

44. I Imagine He Still Has Rights To Due Process

But we'll see. I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not from New York, so we'll see what the panel does.

[Beastly Boy]

10. From a US Associate Attorney General, to a mayor, to a lawyer, to

a media personality, to a lobbyist in Ukraine and Romania, to an insurrectionist, and now, to a nobody.

I think Rudy has got it backwards.

[ancianita]

12. +1 superb summation!

[Mr. Ected]

18. ...to a convicted felon

If there is any justice in the world, that too will be added to the list.

[Beastly Boy]

26. Patience, Mr. Ected, all in due time.

[PatSeg]

43. And a "nobody" without a law license

[ShazzieB]

52. You left out "whack job."

Not sure where it fits, but it's definitely part of the progression (degression?). Maybe after "insurrectionist"!

[underpants]

11. Good timing really - right in time for landscaping season

[JohnSJ]

19. About time. Now they should see if he should be disbarred

[ShazzieB]

54. That's exactly what they're in the process of doing. 😎

[ScratchCat]

21. This is very important

The RW idiots are not going to be able to ignore this. When all these dolts have their licenses suspended pending disbarment, the RW is going to have to accept that they got played by con men.

[COL Mustard]

45. Don't Count On That

They'll find a way to blame it on anyone but TFG and his henchmen.

[Shoonra]

22. This is only the beginning . . .

Very likely the other states in whiich Guiliani is licensed will also impose reciprocal suspensions. Including the federal courts.

[Lasher]

23. Too bad, so sad.

He should have known better. All of them should have.

[rurallib]

24. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

O my side hurts from laughing!

[Cryptoad]

25. hows abt the all teh other,,,,

MAGA Warrior lawyers hawking the same BS,,,,?

[Harker]

28. Guess he won't be representing Trumpsky.

Or himself.

That's the only down side.

[3Hotdogs]

29. --- at $20,000 per day.

[Harker]

32. I'll miss his utter incompetence.

I would like the next time I hear his name to be on the occasion of his arrest.

[erronis]

31. I don't think ghouliani cares about practicing law. He is paid for being a clown.

Kochs and Mercers and others can spend far more than a $1,000/hour lawyer could make in a real practice.

And, obviously, he is far below being humiliated by any mere Bar or societal approbation.

[Javaman]

33. oh how the mighty have fallen.

this should have been done a long time ago.

[Evolve Dammit]

35. keep falling and keep dripping Rudy Colludy

[COL Mustard]

37. Paging Sidney Powell? White Courtesy Phone For Sidney Powell.......

Tick tock...drip drip drip.....

Sleeping well, Sidney? You were so promising at one point.

40. Rudy is in deep dude..you know the stuff that stinks..comes out of your ass sh*t

[MissMillie]

41. Everything and everyone that touches 45 falls apart

and yet 30% of the country holds on to him

[Rhiannon12866]

49. Well said.

And I find it baffling.

[ShazzieB]

55. Well, you know what they say....

[Rocknation]

47. Now we can add "no law license"

to "a noun, a verb, and 9/11."

48. Hurray! He was SO embarrassing as a human being

[Scruffy1]

56. In my book he was always a hollow man in an empty suit.

His whole life has been playing Uriah Heep to whoever could help get ahead. It started with an appointment under Gerald Ford, which he left the Democratic Party for. It led to getting the prize of US Attorney for the southern District of New York. He did the same thing there that he always did. He took the credit for the work of the staff. He learned how to play the media with his famous "perp walk". This was done even with those who later had the charges dropped. It's like the SDNY had never prosecuted a mobster before he got there. His former employer despised him for his grandstanding and over charging. His term as mayor was another charade. claiming that his policing policies were responsible for the crime rate decreasing, but the decline was about the same in most large cities. Then comes 9/11 and he suddenly becomes "Americas Mayor". No mention that the emergency communications center was located in the WTC at his behest instead of the preferred very secure location across the river because it was closer to his mistress. He was also AWOL for a while after the disaster, which might be a good thing. I think a lot of people could see through him, but to the media he was great in that he would kiss their ass too.
