From showing up in a Borat<\/em> movie with his hands down his pants<\/a> to being criminally charged with trying to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia<\/a> and Arizona<\/a>, Rudy Giuliani<\/strong> has suffered many a rough day during his 80 years on Earth. Today\u2019s kick in the pants? Losing his license to practice law in the state where he once served not only as mayor but as one of its most powerful prosecutors.<\/p>\n Yes, Giuliani was officially\u2014and permanently\u2014disbarred<\/a> in New York on Tuesday over his work as a personal and campaign lawyer for Donald Trump,<\/strong> which saw the ex-mayor and former US attorney for the Southern District of New York telling all manner of lies in an effort to keep Trump in power. Those lies, a New York State appellate court wrote<\/a>, were \u201cdesigned to create distrust of the elective system of our country in the minds of the citizens and to destroy their confidence in the legitimacy of our government.\u201d<\/p>\n The court added that \u201cthe seriousness of respondent\u2019s misconduct cannot be overstated,\u201d noting that Giuliani had \u201cflagrantly misused his prominent position as the personal attorney for former president Trump and his campaign\u201d and \u201cbaselessly attacked and undermined the integrity of this country\u2019s electoral process.\u201d In doing so, the court said, the ex-mayor \u201cnot only deliberately violated some of the most fundamental tenets of the legal profession, but he also actively contributed to the national strife that has followed the 2020 presidential election, for which he is entirely unrepentant.\u201d<\/p>\n Giuliani\u2019s New York law license was initially suspended in 2021; in May, the board that oversees disciplinary recommendations for attorneys who have been admitted to the bar in Washington, DC, said<\/a> he should not be allowed to practice law there. In response to the loss of his license in New York, Barry Kamins,<\/strong> a lawyer for Giuliani, told The New York Times<\/em><\/a>:<\/em> \u201cMr. Giuliani is obviously disappointed in the decision. We are weighing our appellate options.\u201d<\/p>\n Last December, Giuliani filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay nearly $150 million in damages<\/a> to two Georgia election workers he defamed. Creditors have suggested<\/a> in court filings he may be hiding assets; despite agreeing to a $43,000-a-month budget, he reportedly spent nearly triple<\/a> that in January.<\/p>\n Interesting take from this guy<\/a> in particular<\/strong><\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWatergate was fine\u201d \u2014 Supreme Court conservatives, basically<\/strong><\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Elsewhere!<\/strong><\/p>\n RFK Jr.\u2019s Family Doesn\u2019t Want Him to Run.
