On Thursday, a panel of five judges suspended Rudy Giuliani's license to practice law in New York, effective immediately.
“There is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large . . . ” the court wrote in its decision. “These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent’s narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client."
That's telling it like it is. But after Giuliani's off-the-wall lies, "four seasons" press conference, dribbling hair dye, and appearance in a Borat movie, no one is particularly surprised. Huffpo reports a noticeable number of snarky comments on Twitter, such as "Good thing Giuliani has that lucrative MyPillow sponsorship," by @theMax Burns.
Giuliani's lawyers, of course, disagreed with the panel. “We believe that our client does not pose a present danger to the public interest,” their statement said. “We believe that once the issues are fully explored at a hearing Mr. Giuliani will be reinstated as a valued member of the legal profession."
The suspension has nothing to do with the FBI investigation into whether Giuliani served as a foreign agent for Donald Trump in Ukraine. Last month's raid on Giuliani's apartment, resulting in seizures of ten computers and phones, was part of that investigation.
