In reply to the discussion: Rudy Giuliani will not face criminal charges in foreign lobbying case, prosecutors say [View all]BumRushDaShow
(170,091 posts)30. The OP story was about the "Russia probe" that was NOT started under Garland but Bill Barr (as AG)
By the time Garland was confirmed, the fix was already in by Barr as we saw with all the other crap that happened with the kneecpping of the Mueller probe by Barr.
And as a note - Ghoulian's law license has been suspended in NY and in D.C..
He has been subject to a disciplinary hearing in D.C. that commenced last month -
Giulianis lawyers submit witness list for upcoming DC attorney discipline hearing

The DC bars Office of Disciplinary Counsel, which has brought an ethics case against Giuliani as a member of the DC bar, says he was pushing unsubstantiated election fraud accusations in a Pennsylvania federal court on behalf of Trump. In oral arguments for the lawsuit filed days after the 2020 election, Giuliani claimed, without evidence, that the best description of this situation is its widespread, nationwide voter fraud of which this is a part.
The disciplinary filings allege that Giuliani sought to leverage the lawful rejection of two ballots by non-defendant counties into invalidating up to 1.5 million votes already counted. The DC bar also charges that there was no legal basis for the constitutional claims Giuliani pursued in the Pennsylvania litigation.
The disciplinary office proceeding, called a charge, further puts Giulianis status as a lawyer in jeopardy. An upcoming hearing in December will be akin to a trial and takes place before a committee that will make findings and could make recommendations for possible professional sanctions of Giuliani, a former US Attorney. Giuliani had already been suspended from practicing law by the New York bar as that office also investigates his election fraud efforts on behalf of Trump in court.
The DC Court of Appeals has the ultimate authority over the bars disciplinary proceedings, and the court reviews and approves any disciplinary actions that include the suspension or disbarment of an attorney accused of misconduct.
