DC Bar Committee Recommends Giuliani’s Disbarment Over His Effort to Challenge 2020 Election
The DC Bar Association concluded Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani should be disbarred over his effort to challenge the 2020 election.
The ultimate decision to disbar Giuliani will be decided by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.
Rudy Giuliani will challenge this decision made by the discipline committee.
“The decision-makers at the DC Bar Association are nothing more than an arm of the permanent regime in Washington,” Ted Goodman, a spokesperson for Giuliani told Politico. “This is also part of an effort to deny President Trump effective counsel by persecuting Rudy Giuliani—objectively one of the most effective prosecutors in American history. I call on rank-and-file members of the DC Bar Association to speak out against this great injustice.”
Politico reported:
A Washington, D.C.-based bar discipline committee concluded Friday that Rudy Giuliani should be disbarred for “frivolous” and “destructive” efforts to derail the 2020 presidential election in support of former President Donald Trump.
“He claimed massive election fraud but had no evidence of it,” the three-member panel declared in a 38-page decision. “By prosecuting that destructive case Mr. Giuliani, a sworn officer of the Court, forfeited his right to practice law.”
The committee tasked with reviewing Giuliani’s conduct consisted of two D.C. attorneys and one D.C. resident who is not a lawyer. The members deliberated for months after a weekslong series of hearings that featured testimony from Giuliani and several of his close associates. Trump waived attorney-client privilege to permit Giuliani to discuss the matters as well.
President Trump’s election lawyers are not only being threatened with disbarment, special counsel Jack Smith is threatening to indict them as well.
Trump’s election lawyer John Eastman is being threatened with disbarment over a legal opinion on dueling electors.
This is unheard of.
The government is now openly working with Democrats to indict, smear, bankrupt, and imprison their political opposition – Donald Trump, his supporters, and his attorneys.
Jack Smith is set to indict Rudy Giuliani and fellow Trump attorneys who questioned the fraudulent election and sought to delay the certification in Congress.

Dutch government collapses as ruling party seeks immigration restrictions
The Netherlands is far from the only European country to struggle with rising migration.
The Dutch coalition government led by Prime Minister Mark Rutte collapsed on Friday after the bloc's constituent parties failed to reach an agreement to restrict migration to the Netherlands.
An influx of asylum seekers has presented considerable strain on the country, which has struggled to contend with the volume of applicants and agree on policy to manage it. Rutte had hoped to create a system to prioritize migrants fleeing from war zones and to limit the number of family members who may join existing refugees in the country per year, according to Politico.
Final negotiations on Friday failed to win the support of some parties in the coalition, which had steadfastly opposed efforts to limit family reunifications. The government collapse means new elections are likely to occur in November.
The Netherlands is far from the only European country to struggle with rising migration. Countries such as France have permitted large swathes of new arrivals from Africa and the Middle East to the point of causing sizeable demographic changes.
Curbing migration was a frequently mentioned goal of the UK's Brexit movement to leave the European Union. Asylum and migration policy has also become a sticking point between the EU and its eastern constituent nations, who have largely resisted accepting significant asylum seekers and migrants.

Jack Smith spent $5.5 million on his Trump investigation in just 4 months
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith in November 2022 shortly after Trump announced his 2024 presidential campaign.
Special counsel Jack Smith spent a whopping $5.5 million in the first four months of his investigation into former President Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified materials.
Smith in June unveiled a 37-count indictment against Trump related to the materials recovered from his Mar-a-Lago estate in August of 2022. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith in November 2022 shortly after Trump announced his 2024 presidential campaign. From that point through March of this year, he spent a total of $5,428,579 on the case, Fox News reported. More than $1.8 million of that figure went to "contractual services." More than $2.6 million, meanwhile, went to paying personnel and providing benefits.
Special counsel Robert Hur, meanwhile, whom Garland appointed in January to look into President Joe Biden's handling of classified materials, has spent just $615,962 since his appointment.
Special counsel John Durham, whose yearslong case resulted in the publication of a report that found the FBI initiated its investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign with no predicating evidence, spent a total of $7,683,839 throughout the entire investigation.
Smith's seemingly zealous prosecution has drawn scrutiny from the Trump camp, with one of his attorneys, Jesse Binnall, asserting that the special counsel has political motivations.
"I will say that Jack Smith, I think, absolutely wants to rain hellfire down on this president and his supporters–not just people in his orbit, but also his supporters. And he's gonna stop at nothing," he said on the Thursday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "This is not a good guy… Unfortunately, the people that he tends to work with are zealots."
