Can any of the lawyers representing Trump be disbarred for their ridiculousness and incessant lying?

I'm not a legal eagle but what do those in the know think? Can Giuliani, Powell, etc. suffer anything for their obvious bullshit?

Thank you in advance.

NO! That's why they won't lie to a judge. It doesn't matter what they say to the public. napi21 Nov 2020 #6

but how often censure leads to disbarment is a trickier question.
