Why the fuck did it take 3 years forthis to happen? That just a ridiculously slow process after someone aided a coup attempt in broad daylight and lied on national TV about an election being stolen.

getting disbarred in New York State is practically impossible without being convicted of a crime, typically one which involves malfeasance with regards to the handling of a client. He’s had his license indefinitely suspended for over a year, which is typically how these things end, but Giuliani isn’t you typical dirty lawyer.

considering this, his disbarment (should it occur) is nothing short of a minor miracle and a strong statement by the New York State Bar of exactly how corrupt and unfit to serve as an attorney in the state they find him to be.

This article discusses his disbarment in DC, which has different but similar standards, and NYS is also working on getting him disbarred.

since the time he had his license suspended in both DC and NY, he hasn’t been able to practice law. even if he isn’t disbarred in one or both jurisdictions (unlikely at this point), he almost certainly will never be allowed to practice law again, as when it’s suspended in one jurisdiction, it’s effectively suspended everywhere.

I was surprised, as I'd thought he was already disbarred. But you're right. This paragraph helped me understand before seeing your comment:

In 2021, a state court in New York suspended his right to practice law in that state, citing his actions in the wake of the 2020 presidential election. No final disbarment order against Giuliani has been entered in New York, but bar discipline proceedings in that state are notoriously opaque.

yeah, it’s his NYS suspension and disbarment proceedings which likely triggered it in DC… although his actions were bad enough to have warranted disbarment proceedings there anyway.

Good. This ghoul needs to never be allowed near a courtroom unless he is the defendant in some criminal trial for all the bullshit and chaos he has willingly put into this world.

I certainly believe that Hillary carries around Bill’s junk in a tasteful Donna Karen clutch wherever she goes for the last 30 years, but… OH!, you’re talking about Hunter Biden….

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
