Staff Reports
The conservative news writer reports on the recent recommendation from the Washington D.C. attorney discipline board that suggests disbarment for Rudy Giuliani due to his actions surrounding the 2020 elections. Giuliani’s law license has previously been suspended in Washington D.C. and New York for making false statements in attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. The recommendation for disbarment was made to protect the public, courts, and legal integrity, along with deterring other lawyers from pursuing baseless claims for unwarranted relief.
Giuliani, also under scrutiny for his involvement in contesting election results in Georgia, faced accusations of violating attorney conduct rules in Pennsylvania. The disciplinary board found his actions to be speculative and lacking factual support, leading to the recommendation for disbarment. This decision comes after Giuliani’s hearing in 2022 over ethics charges and his participation in baseless election challenges post-2020.

In a similar vein, former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis received a three-year suspension of her law license in Colorado for her role in the Georgia 2020 election case. These actions highlight the legal consequences faced by those involved in contested election efforts. The final decision on Giuliani’s disbarment will be left to a D.C. Appeals Court to determine his professional future.
From a conservative perspective, the writer believes that these recommendations reflect the politically motivated attacks on those who supported President Trump, showing a biased effort to undermine their credibility and legal standing. The push for disbarment serves as a warning to other attorneys who may challenge election results, suggesting a one-sided enforcement of legal standards. Overall, the writer portrays Giuliani and Ellis as victims of a partisan agenda seeking to discredit Trump allies within the legal profession.
