Giuliani’s New York law license suspended over false comments on election fraud

”Ye shall not rear up on your hind legs and proclaim that the Truth is true, lest your betters be forced to destroy you in front of all the world.” [IsraelTimes] Ruling says ex-mayor ’communicated demonstrably false and misleading’ statements to public as Trump’s attorney.
A US appeals court has suspended Rudy Giuliani from practicing law in New York because he made false statements while trying to get courts to overturn Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
’s loss in the presidential race.
An attorney disciplinary committee said in its motion to suspend Giuliani’s license that there was "uncontroverted evidence" that Giuliani had made false statements to the courts, the public and politicians, as he pushed theories that the election was stolen through fraud.
"This country is being torn apart by continued attacks on the legitimacy of the 2020 election and of our current president, Joseph R. Biden," the committee wrote. "The hallmark of our democracy is predicated on free and fair elections. False statements intended to foment a loss of confidence in our elections and resulting loss of confidence in government generally damage the proper functioning of a free society."
The ruling, signed Thursday, will prevent Giuliani from representing clients as a lawyer.
A message seeking comment about the ruling was sent Thursday to Giuliani and his lawyer.
In the decision, the committee wrote that Giuliani "communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, politicians and the public on the lam" as a lawyer for Trump.
Giuliani had claimed that the investigation into his conduct violated his First Amendment right of free speech and that he did not knowingly make false statements, according to the decision.
The court rejected those arguments, noting that in Pennsylvania, Giuliani failed to "provide a scintilla of evidence for any of the varying and wildly inconsistent numbers of dead people he factually represented voted in Philadelphia during the 2020 presidential election."
Giuliani was the primary mouthpiece for Trump’s lies after the 2020 election, standing at a presser in front of Four Seasons Total Landscaping outside Philadelphia on the day the race was called for Biden and saying they would challenge what he claimed was a vast conspiracy by Democrats.
The lies around the 2020 election helped push an angry mob of pro-Trump rioters to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in a shocking effort to stop the certification of President Joe Biden
 ...... 46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family......
’s victory. And since that time, Republicans have used that lie to push stricter voting laws nationwide.
The suspension comes as Giuliani is under scrutiny by federal prosecutors over his interactions with figures in Ukraine while he was trying to get that country to launch an investigation of Biden’s son.
Federal agents raided Giuliani’s home and office in April, taking electronic devices, including phones and computers.
The investigation includes an examination of whether Giuliani was required to register as a foreign agent in the U.S. Some of the Ukrainian figures Giuliani was worked with were also interested in getting his help lobbying the Trump administration to dismiss the U.S. ambassador to that country.
That investigation was not a factor in the suspension of his law license.
The suspension won’t affect Giuliani’s ability to act as a lobbyist or do security consulting, but will likely will prevent him from practicing law in jurisdictions even beyond New York, said David S. Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor.
Giuliani would be obligated to tell other states about the suspension, he said, which "in all likelihood will cause them to say, ’You won’t be able to practice here.’"
