I, too, once respected the guy. Disheartening.

This is assuming Rudy had any information other than insane conspiracy theories.

He didn't.

That's why his license was removed.

Isn't that what lawyers do in general?

Their reputation is what it is for a reason.

Wow. The guy just followed Trump all the way down the rabbit hole... and destroyed his reputation. Was it worth it?

Um, no. Not even a little bit is that going to fly.

The circumstances of Giuliani's alleged misstatements to courts were not ones where any party was subject to being deceived. The dispute over ballot counting and handling was the subject of microscopic scrutiny. Also these were matters of opinion,argument and controversy. This was not an attorney lying to a court about the state of a client escrow.

Let's face it; wokeness has inserted itself into areas hitherto sacred. The ability of an attorney to speak for his or her client is now seriously compromised.

Round one!

More will follow.

The country isn't NY, CA and a handful of smaller, swamp-friendly states.

Thanks for the laughs Rudy!
Not to mention a distinguished term as US Atty for SDNY where he cracked down on the mafia. Now he's arguably part of a mob enterprise.

Shenanigans. Here, read it.

He'd argue numbers that he could produce no sources for, he'd argue numbers that were wildly inconsistent, and he'd spout as fact information that appears to have been made up completely.

This is the interesting part. Why would anyone ever tie themselves to someone like Trump for any reason? Anyone with half a brain understands that is the kiss of death. Did Trump have some power over Giuliani or his family?
