Giuliani Dissembles And Defends 2020 Plots As He Fights To Keep DC Law License

Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani spent much of Monday defending his efforts to reverse the result of the 2020 election before an attorneys disciplinary committee, flailing and muttering as he attempted to elide questions about his conduct.

Only one way this ends, Rudes: flip or jail.

Well since it’s just a bar disciplinary proceeding, jail is not in the offing.

Edited to add: I do hope Rudy ends up in jail and spends his last living days there.

I believe this may be the beginning of dementia or worse. Whether organic or just stupid evil, he should not be practicing law.

Ghouliani is just becoming who he really is. It’s all been an act until now. He must be exhausted.

I don’t think this ends with the end of the disciplinary proceeding. This hearing is just one of many steps leading to the end where, hopefully, he has to decide between flipping and jail.

I hope that someone told Rudy that the questions and his answers are being recorded, and may be used against him in other proceedings.

Right out of the Trump playbook, Rudy claims he’s been persecuted. Good God, tragedy becomes comedy.

It was a tour de force farce performance from the former mayor, and only the first day of his testimony.

Fixed.

I just think this is a separate thing. This process will begin and end with a decision about whether to yank Rudy’s license to practice in the District, and either he loses it, or he doesn’t. I think it’s likely he loses his license. Of course, he could incriminate himself in other matters here as @lastroth points out.

“I really believe I’ve been persecuted for three or four years,” Giuliani said at the hearing.

Only by gingivitis, Rudes, only by gingivitis…

(PS: Mr Ed called. He wants his mandibulars back.)

Making a mockery of the rule of law is a cottage industry for these pricks…nearly as bad as their calculating embrace of criminal activity is the skepticism fomented in previously routine matters of jurisprudence …with the newly toxic RW SCOTUS court pitching in to feed the dumpster fire.

LOL…catch-22…“did you co-author these lies that you signed?”

Yes = liar liar pants on fire!

No = you fucking signed shit to be submitted to the court…shit of this level of importance…that you didn’t even author or vet?

Bye bye law license. I mean, if you’re in enough trouble that you’re in front of a disciplinary proceeding and yet you STILL KEEP DISSEMBLING, then you’ve shit the bed and missed your wake-up call and the jig is up…just roll over and sleep in it.

I see where you’re coming from. I agree that this hearing doesn’t lead to the end for which I am hoping. It’s just a fun little stopping point on his grand journey.

May he travel a long and bumpy road, full
Of woe.

Not watching the video, but it would appear that Giuliani is either in the intermediate stages of dementia or is part of a clinical trial for timed-release 24-hour alcohol.

ETA: Martinis

Good article but I’m not sure I agree with your police work on the “tour de force” part, which Webster’s and pretty much everyone else define as “An impressive performance or achievement that has been accomplished or managed with great skill”

Word for word in French it’s something like “a turn of strength”, with “turn” used as in “his turn at the plate”.

Anyway “impressively clownish” or “complete humiliation achieved” I’m sure is what you meant but not sure tour de force got there.

Clearly mentally impaired. Cause irrelevant.
