Former New York City Republican mayor Rudy Giuliani defended his role challenging the 2020 presidential election as President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Monday, after the D.C. Bar accused Giuliani of misusing his law license and called for it to be revoked.

During his testimony before the D.C. Board on Professional Responsibility of the D.C. Bar, Giuliani at times minimized his role in a lawsuit that falsely alleged the November 2020 general presidential election was wrought with fraud in the key state of Pennsylvania after President Biden was declared winner.

Hamilton “Phil” Fox III, the lead prosecuting attorney for D.C. Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel, called Giuliani’s fraud allegations in Pennsylvania “unfounded” and said they misrepresented or took advantage of two unprecedented events affecting the state: Pennsylvania had just started using mail-in ballots for the election, and the coronavirus pandemic forced independent observers to be distanced from poll workers tasked with opening mail-in ballots and reviewing signatures.

Fox argued that although several courts in Pennsylvania found “kinks” in the new voting system in Pennsylvania, there was no evidence of fraud. Despite such court assertions, Giuliani “weaponized his law license by filing a frivolous lawsuit” and as a result, should have his license suspended or revoked, Fox said. “There was no case in law nor fact for which Mr. Giuliani set forth on grounds of fraud,” Fox said.

3. Agreed!

This scumbag has used his law degree like toilet paper and made a mockery of the judicial system. He needs to be turned out on the street with no law degree to be exploited.

4. They should revoke every single attorney that brought one of these suits

What they were trying to do is turn the judiciary into a political weapon all based on lies. This kind of shit is toxic to democracy and while it's exactly what you'd expect from the party of ratfuckers, no state Bar should allow it to happen.
