Rudy Giuliani Reportedly Failed To 'Answer Basic Questions' At His Misconduct Hearing

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rudy Giuliani allegedly lost his composure last week while appearing as the first witness in his own attorney-misconduct hearing. As reported by Business Insider, the former New York City mayor, 78, seemed unable to answer simple and straightforward questions from the opposing counsel, and frequently “veered off course.”

What Does The Ethics Case Entail?

The ethics case in question was brought by the Washington DC bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, and focuses on the politician’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Pennsylvania. This was when Giuliani was the personal attorney of then-President Donald Trump.

The office alleges that Giuliani filed a “frivolous” lawsuit and sought out to nullify Pennsylvania’s presidential-election results. Giuliani’s claims of widespread voter fraud, the office alleges, occurred despite “no factual or legal basis.”

Giuliani ultimately violated the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct by filing this lawsuit, according to the office, and he also “engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice.”

7. The only thing that surprised me was reading that he's 78 years old.

I would have guessed he was several years older, for some reason.

3. He sounds unwell, and whether that is complicated by alcohol or age or a combo of the two...

We can’t know, really. But he sure needs to stop practicing Law.

4. I believe the court

suspended his license so no need to worry about the little old guy stir up any trouble he's got that one foot in the ground look

5. Rudi is a poor excuse for a human.

Telling the Truth

Alano Gray (New York, New York) writes:

Marilyn: I’ve been working in a legal environment for ten years. Believe it or not, most attorneys cannot explain the difference between “the truth,” “the whole truth,” and “nothing but the truth.” You once wrote a brilliant definition of what differentiates them, but I’ve been unable to locate it in your archives. Can you repeat it?

Marilyn responds:

Here’s the original question and answer, abbreviated:

Ed Hausafus of Eagle Creek, Oregon, writes:

Marilyn: When swearing in witnesses, court clerks ask them to promise to tell “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” What is the difference between the three? And if there is none, why don’t they just ask witnesses to promise to be truthful?

Marilyn responds:

There’s a difference. And the truths are all stated explicitly because some people try to weasel out of promises while still insisting that they’ve kept them. First, witnesses are asked to tell “the truth.” This means that they must not lie in response to a question.

Second, they’re asked to tell “the whole truth.” This means something else. For example, if a governor says that “in my state, we’ve moved 17,000 people from welfare to work” and omits adding the fact that in his state, 25,000 other people moved from work to welfare at the same time, he has told “the truth” but he hasn’t told “the whole truth.” That is, the net effect was that 8,000 more people were on welfare, not 17,000 fewer.

Third, witnesses are asked to tell “nothing but the truth.” This is yet another concept. For example, if a person tells the truth in response to a question and then adds a lie, he or she has told “the truth” but he hasn’t told “nothing but the truth.” And although none of this will stop truly dishonest people, at least it gives us good ammunition to charge them with perjury.
