And so now let's dig into
that ruling, shall we?
Scrolling down somewhat, we find this:
Wherefore, it is Ordered that the motion by the Attorney Grievance
Committee for the First Judicial Department to confirm the Referee’s
report and recommendation pursuant to 603.8-a(t)(4) and 22 NYCRR
1240.8(b)(2) is granted, and respondent Rudolph W. Giuliani, admitted as
Rudolph William Giuliani, is disbarred from the practice of law, effective
immediately, and until the further order of this Court, and his name
stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law in the State of
New York...(p.30)
And so on.
Inside the ruling we can find things like this:
The Referee found that on November 25, 2020, in violation of rules 4.1, 8.4(c),
8.4(d), and 8.4(h), respondent falsely and dishonestly claimed to Pennsylvania state
legislators that in Philadelphia during the 2020 Presidential election, many thousands
of votes were cast in the names of dead people.
Respondent stipulated that “[m]any thousands of votes were not cast in the
names of dead people in Philadelphia during the 2020 election.” Further, the Referee
found that respondent knew, or should have known, that on November 11, 2020,
Philadelphia Commissioner Al Schmidt, a Republican, made a televised statement in
which he criticized the allegations of fraud as having no basis in fact and specifically
concluded that the investigations regarding dead voters had led nowhere. (p.5)
Look at the date.
That would be PA State Sen Doug Mastriano's "hearing" on the 2020 election.
This "hearing" shows up a couple more times:
The Referee found that respondent falsely and dishonestly asserted that in Philadelphia there occurred “an extraordinary number of voter fraud convictions that
stood as evidence of endemic election fraud in that city.” Respondent made the alleged
offending statement four times: first, during the November 7, 2020 press conference at
Four Seasons Total Landscaping; second, during a November 17, 2020 appearance in
the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, in violation of
Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct rules 3.3(a)(1), 4.1,and 8.4(c), which
controlled under New York rule 8.5(b)(1); third, on November 25, 2020 before
Pennsylvania state legislators; and fourth, on December 14, 2020 before Missouri state
legislators, while testifying under oath, in violation of New York rules 4.1, 8.4(b), 8.4(c),
8.4(d), and 8.4(h). (p. 8)
And:
The Referee found that, in violation of rules 4.1, 8.4(b), 8.4(c), 8.4(d), and 8.4(h), respondent falsely and dishonestly asserted that in Michigan, trucks delivered ballots in garbage receptacles and paper bags. Respondent made the alleged offending statements during the November 19, 2020, press conference at the Republican National Committee Headquarters, during his November 25, 2020 appearance before Pennsylvania state legislators, during his December 3 and December 10, 2020 appearances before Georgia state legislators, and in his April 14, 2021 affidavit filed with this Court in opposition to the AGC’s interim suspension motion. (p. 17)
So, in part, the lies Rudy told at Doug's little hearing got Rudy disbarred.
When will Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano offer up any sort of explanation/apology for setting up the venue in which Donald Trump's lawyer (and a man once known as "America's Mayor") spread lies bad enough to be disbarred?
