Earlier today, former New York City mayor and personal attorney to failed, one-term ex-president Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, had his law license indefinitely suspended by the Attorney Grievance Committee for New York State Supreme Court’s First Judicial Department.
According to CNN:
“In a ruling released following disciplinary proceedings, the court concluded that ‘there is uncontroverted evidence’ that Giuliani, the former Manhattan US attorney, “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.”
A closer look at the ruling from the grievance committee gives details that are both hilarious and head-shaking in the full depth of their absurdity. Consider:
Rudy claims there’s been voter fraud; later says he isn’t claiming voter fraud:
Judge: “So the amended complaint — does the amended complaint plead fraud with particularity?”
Guiliani: “No, Your Honor, and it doesn’t plead fraud. It pleads the — it pleads the plan or scheme that we lay out… without characterizing it.”
Rudy says the late boxer, Joe Frazier, voted in Philadelphia:
“The public records submitted on this motion unequivocally show that respondent’s statement is false, Public records show that 15 Pennsylvania formally cancelled Mr. Frazier’s eligibility to vote on February 8, 2012, three months after he died.”
Rudy tells the court 60,000 underage voters cast ballots in Georgia, resulting in Joe Biden winning the Peach State:
“At various times, respondent claimed that 65,000 or 66,000 or 165,00 underage voters illegally voted in the Georgia 2020 election. The Georgia Office of the Secretary of State undertook an investigation of this claim. It compared the list of all of the people who voted in Georgia to their full birthdays. The audit revealed that there were zero (0) underage voters in the 2020 election.”
It’s a wonder Rudy even managed to pass the bar exam in the first place! Are we sure he didn’t have someone take the damn thing for him?
