A three-judge panel handed down a ruling this week that says that Rudy Giuliani will be disbarred from practicing law in Washington, D.C., similar to the ruling earlier this year barring him from practicing in New York. The disbarment is a direct result of his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election via frivolous lawsuits that went nowhere. But that’s not the only bad news that the former New York mayor got this week, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Rudy Giuliani had an exceptionally terrible week this week, and one of the reasons of call, of course, this one's a little more minor, is 'cause he got, uh, smacked around by a judge, his bankruptcy judge, telling him you owe several hundred thousand dollars because basically you were a complete a-hole during your bankruptcy hearing. But I'll get more to that in a moment because the worst thing that happened to Giuliani this week was that a three judge panel from the Circuit Court of the District of Columbia ruled that he will be disbarred. Similar of course, to what happened to him earlier this year in the state of New York, where he was also disbarred for his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. So what happened is that back in May, the bar for the District of Columbia, they had a board put together that was looking into Rudy Giuliani, and they came to the conclusion that because of his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to disenfranchise voters and to undermine democracy, and because he filed all these frivolous lawsuits that went nowhere, he should be disbarred.
In fact, this is what they wrote. We conclude that disbarment is the only sanction that will protect the public, the courts, and the integrity of the legal profession, and deter other lawyers from launching similarly baseless claims in the pursuit of such wide ranging yet completely unjustified relief that was in May. Now, the bar doesn't have the actual authority to disbar that has to come from the courts upon the recommendation of the bar. And again, the three judge panel from the District of Columbia ruled this week that, yes, we agree with you, he is gonna be disbarred. And one of the specific things that they cited was Giuliani's efforts to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters in the state of Pennsylvania, uh, depriving them of their right to vote, depriving them of, you know, their access to democracy itself. Basically, what you did in Pennsylvania was the most egregious thing you did, but everything else was also really, really bad.
So Giuliani no longer can practice law in Washington dc. He can no longer practice law in New York. But to be honest, those things don't necessarily matter due to the fact that Rudy Giuliani was not actively practicing law, but his spokesperson, Ted Goodman, came out and decided to let the courts have it. And Goodman issued a statement saying, quote, members of the legal community who want to protect the integrity of our justice system should immediately speak out against this partisan, politically motivated decision. The people coming after Mayor Giuliani can't take away the fact that he remains the most effective prosecutor in American history who did mortar improve the lives of others than most any other American alive today. Yeah, too bad. Everything this man ever did in his history is now undermined because he threw his lot in with Donald Trump. Okay? That's what happened. Rudy Giuliani would not have been facing any of these problems had he not gotten in bed metaphorically with Donald Trump.
