Attorney disciplinary committee recommends Rudy Giuliani be disbarred for 2020 election legal work https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/07/politics/dc-bar-rudy-giuliani/index.html An attorney disciplinary committee has recommended Rudy Giuliani be disbarred in Washington, DC, for his efforts on behalf of then-President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election results. The committee, which weighs cases of legal ethics and attorney misconduct in the District of Columbia, issued the report and recommendation on Giuliani on Friday following a lawyer misconduct hearing for Giuliani in December that functioned like a trial. “He claimed massive election fraud but had no evidence of it,” the committee wrote. “By prosecuting that destructive case Mr. Giuliani, a sworn officer of the Court, forfeited his right to practice law. He should be disbarred.” The panel’s recommendation is not final; the case against Giuliani still must be considered by DC’s Board on Professional Responsibility and by the DC court of appeals. The committee specifically criticized Giuliani for dishonesty following the 2020 election and what they called “calculated” attempts to undermine trust in elections, when he falsely claimed in a Pennsylvania federal court there had been election fraud that could overturn Joe Biden’s win of the state. “Mr. Giuliani has not acknowledged or accepted responsibility for his misconduct. To the contrary, he has declared his indignation over being subjected to the disciplinary process,” the committee wrote in its report. “We are convinced that a sanction must be enhanced to ensure that it adequately deters both Respondent (Giuliani) and other attorneys from acting similarly in the future.” The three-person committee, comprised of two attorneys and a member of the public, was unanimous in recommending Giuliani be disbarred. Ted Goodman, a political adviser to Giuliani, called the report a “great injustice,” and said “the decision-makers at the DC Bar Association are nothing more than an arm of the permanent regime in Washington.” Giuliani’s attorneys had argued to the committee that he had a reasonable basis to believe the claims in litigation were true and that he was relying on what others working with the Trump campaign told him about the fraud allegations. Giuliani, the former top federal prosecutor in Manhattan and a lawyer for Trump, is also facing an attorney ethics review in New York. His law license at this time is temporarily suspended, marking a substantial downfall for the once highly regarded American political and legal figurehead. “We have considered in mitigation Mr. Giuliani’s conduct following the September 11 attacks as well as his prior service in the Justice Department and as Mayor of New York City. But all of that happened long ago,” the report said on Friday. “The misconduct here sadly transcends all his past accomplishments.”
Fulton County election workers ask for 'severe' sanctions on Giuliani over defamation evidence https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/fulton-county-election-workers-giuliani-lawsuit-defamation-evidence FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - Two Fulton County election workers are accusing former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani of failing to turn over evidence connected to their defamation lawsuit. Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss accused Giuliani of falsely claiming that they engaged in ballot fraud during the 2020 election. CNN reported that the mother and daughter duo's legal team disclosed that Giuliani's lawyer reached out to them "to discuss a potential negotiated resolution of issues that would resolve large portions of this litigation and otherwise give rise to Plaintiffs’ anticipated request for sanctions." The two had already won nearly $90,000 in attorney court fees. While their lawyer's filing on Monday says that both sides "believe they are close" to reaching a resolution. The pair is now asking the U.S. District Court judge to impose "severe" sanctions on Giuliani over his and his attorney's handling of evidence. "In sum, Defendant Giuliani has had eighteen months since Plaintiffs first filed this suit to take reasonable steps to preserve his electronic evidence, including more than six months since Plaintiffs first raised the question of preservation. Defendant Giuliani has had nearly three months since Plaintiffs filed the motion to compel," the new filing reads. "Defendant Giuliani’s failure to preserve his electronic records in the face of repeated reminders, and a personal awareness of his obligations, can and should be interpreted by this Court as a deliberate effort to deprive Plaintiffs of material evidence in this litigation." The duo's attorneys claim that Giulini continues to change his explanation for not providing relevant information - including the claim that his devices were "wiped" by the Justice Department after they seized them in their investigation. The election workers have already settled against right-wing cable news channel One America News Network over claims that they introduced suitcases of illegal ballots and committed other acts of fraud to try to alter the outcome of the presidential election in Georgia. After narrowly losing the presidential election in Georgia, Trump made unproven claims that widespread fraud led to his loss in the state. He particularly zeroed in on Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold that includes most of Atlanta. Moss has worked for the Fulton County elections department since 2012 and supervised the absentee ballot operation during the 2020 election. Freeman, her mother, was a temporary election worker, verifying signatures on absentee ballots and preparing them to be counted and processed. Once their names circulated online along with allegations that they had engaged in fraud, the two women say they were subjected to intense harassment, both in person and online. "Former President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and their allies start spreading terrible lies about my mother and me. They said we snuck ballots into the State Farm Arena in a suitcase. That’s not true. They said we lied about a water main break to kick observers out. That’s not true. They said we counted ballots multiple times to try to steal an election. That’s not true. And they said we passed around a flash drive to try to hack a machine. That’s not true," Freeman told the U.S. House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. "The thing they got so excited about, that my mom passed to me, was a ginger mint, her favorite candy. None of the lies are true. They don’t even make sense." Last year, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation announced that Moss was one of five people named as recipients of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for acting to protect democracy.

In a sexual harassment lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani, audio transcripts of him saying “exactly the kind of things he denied saying” were released today, Rolling Stone reports. An example: “Jewish men have small cocks because they can’t use them after they get married. Whereas the Italian use them all their lives so they get bigger.” Another: “Jews. They want to go through that freaking Passover all the time. Man, oh, man. Get over the Passover. It was like 3,000 years ago. Okay, the Red Sea parted. Big deal. Not the first time that happened.”
