New York Bar Association Begins Inquiry Into Removing Giuliani From Its Membership

"NYSBA has received hundreds of complaints in recent months about Mr. Giuliani and his baseless efforts on behalf of President Trump to cast doubt on the veracity of the 2020 presidential election and, after the votes were cast, to overturn its legitimate results. As widely reported, these efforts included the commencement and prosecution of court actions in multiple states without any evidentiary basis whatsoever. In each and every instance, these actions were appropriately dismissed by the courts in which they were brought.

As the nation’s largest voluntary state bar association, NYSBA has a responsibility to defend and protect the rule of law. Based on these complaints, and the statement Mr. Giuliani uttered shortly before the attack on the Capitol, NYSBA President Scott M. Karson has launched an inquiry pursuant to the Association’s bylaws to determine whether Mr. Giuliani should be removed from the membership rolls of the Association.

NYSBA’s bylaws state that “no person who advocates the overthrow of the government of the United States, or of any state, territory or possession thereof, or of any political subdivision therein, by force or other illegal means, shall be a member of the Association.” Mr. Giuliani’s words quite clearly were intended to encourage Trump supporters unhappy with the election’s outcome to take matters into their own hands. Their subsequent attack on the Capitol was nothing short of an attempted coup, intended to prevent the peaceful transition of power."

This must be distinguished from "Disbarment" which would mean a loss of his license. It is a common confusion. I do not know the Law in NY but in NJ the NJ Supreme Court controls licensing and discipline of lawyers.

"Removal from the bar association, a voluntary membership organization dating to 1876, is not the same as being disbarred and banned from practicing law. That can only be done by the courts."

It's been reported that Trump has told his people not to pay Rudy and that Trump isn't taking any of Rudy's calls. Wouldn't it be funny if Trump doesn't give a pardon to Rudy?  When you think about it, Rudy was always a hanger-on, and billed himself as Trump's lawyer. During the Ukraine thing, when Rudy was traveling all over Europe and going to Ukraine trying to get something on Biden, Trump was asked a question and said "you'll have to ask Rudy."  Rudy isn't like Michael Cohen, who knew where the bodies were. Rudy wasn't that close to Trump, and it's doubtful that Rudy knows anything that would hurt Trump. So we'll see. 


Yeah, Rudy was the thing that hurt Trump.
