Fist, Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City Mayor and lead Campaign Lawyer for Trump, had His Law License susspended, in New York and the District of Columbia (D.C.).
Now Giuliani, faces a Disciplinary Hearing Thursday, in D.C., that could lead to His Disbarment for Challenging the Results of the 2020 Election with "no factual or legal basis."
The Hearing, is the latest move to Sanction Lawyers who worked for or with Trump's Campaign to Challenge Election Results. A half-dozen Lawyers were Sanctioned Financially, another was Censured, One surrendered His Law License, and at least Two others face potential Disbarment.
The Disciplinary Case against Giuliani, contends He betrayed His Oath and His Country “without remorse.” But Giuliani blamed Flaws in a Federal Lawsuit in Pennsylvania, which is at the heart of the Disciplinary Case, on Local Lawyers and asked for a Less severe Punishment than Disbarment.
The D.C. Court of Appeals Board on Professional Responsibility, is the body authorized to Discipline Lawyers.
The latest Complaint focuses on a Federal Lawsuit in Pennsylvania, in November 2020, that sought to Invalidate up to 1.5 million Mail-in-Ballots from the 2.6 million cast in the State. President Biden won Pennsylvania by 80,555 votes. "There was no factual or legal basis" for the claims Giuliani made or for the Remedy He sought, according to Disciplinary Lawyers.
During an Oral Argument in the Case, Giuliani accused Democrats of Stealing the Election without Evidence. He argued that Mail Ballots were Improperly counted based on “false or faulty statistics and analysis,” according to Disciplinary Lawyers. The 300 Affidavits or Declarations of Fraud He cited were “unsupported” or were isolated incidents that couldn’t have offset Biden’s 80,000-vote Winning margin, according to Disciplinary Lawyers.
“Well, they stole, they stole an election, at least in this commonwealth,” Giuliani said. “The conduct was egregious. The conduct was premeditated.”
Disciplinary Lawyers wrote: “Giuliani should be disbarred because his misconduct undermined the Constitution and discouraged voters from having faith in election results, according to D.C. disciplinary lawyers who summarized the evidence for the professional board. Even in 1860, before 11 states seceded in the Civil War, lawyers hadn’t tried to overturn the election.”.
“Never before, even in 1860, has a lawyer representing the losing side sought to subvert the electoral process and put into office a candidate who clearly lost,” Disciplinary Lawyers Hamilton Fox, Jack Metzler, and Jason Horrell wrote.
