Rudy Giuliani’s Disbarment in D.C. Court Cited Election Fraud Allegations

Rudy Giuliani, the former Mayor of New York City and personal attorney to Donald Trump, has been disbarred by a disciplinary panel in Washington, D.C. The panel found Giuliani’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election to be both “frivolous” and “damaging,” marking a significant downfall for a once-prominent figure in American politics.

A three-member panel, comprising two lawyers and a public member, unanimously recommended disbarment after thoroughly reviewing Giuliani’s actions, including hearings with testimony from Giuliani and his associates​​.

I’m not surprised that I’ve been disbarred by a Bar Ass’n which is a politically and ideologically integral part of the Democrat one party corrupted court system for a long time.

Judges, like Merchan and Engoron in NYC are selected by local Democrat bosses. These judges, just…

The disciplinary committee’s scathing 38-page report highlighted Giuliani’s baseless fraud allegations and criticized his reckless accusations that lacked evidence. The panel emphasized that Giuliani’s unfounded claims significantly tainted the legal system’s integrity. Additionally, the report condemned Giuliani’s refusal to admit any wrongdoing, strengthening the case for his disbarment​.

Giuliani’s legal troubles started after the 2020 election. In 2021, his law license was suspended in New York due to making provably false and deceptive statements about the election outcome. This suspension foreshadowed the D.C. panel’s final recommendation, awaiting review by the D.C. Court of Appeals for ultimate confirmation​​.

Giuliani’s response to the decision has been confrontational. Barry Kamins, one of Giuliani’s lawyers, expressed dissatisfaction with the committee’s ruling and hinted at an aggressive appeal. Giuliani’s spokesperson, Ted Goodman, went further by accusing the D.C. Bar Association of being part of the “permanent regime in Washington” and involved in a larger plan to obstruct Donald Trump’s legal representation​​.

Throughout his career, Giuliani experienced notable achievements and setbacks. He rose to national fame as NYC’s mayor during the 9/11 attacks and later served as a U.S. Attorney in Manhattan. However, his involvement in post-2020 election legal battles has cast a shadow over his past accomplishments, resulting in severe professional consequences​.

The disbarment of Giuliani underscores the severe penalties for legal practitioners engaged in unethical behavior. It also mirrors the wider scrutiny and accountability measures facing individuals involved in challenging the 2020 election results​.

Giuliani is confronting multiple legal challenges, including defamation lawsuits and ongoing probes into his activities following the 2020 election. This recent development further diminishes the once-powerful legal and political influence of “America’s Mayor”​.
