Rudy Giuliani and the law career
that he's been boasting is in
jeopardy because his law practicing
license has been suspended as
a prosecutor in Manhattan and
a former mayor of New York City.
You wouldn't think that his life
would devolve to where it is today.
But because of the fact that he was
part and parcel of the election
denials because of the fact that he
helped to aid and abet lies
pertaining to the 2020 election.
The fact that he incited
some of the violence that took
place on January 6th.
All of that seems to be play a role
in New York's decision to suspend
his license.
So this is temporary, but
there is a possibility that it'll
be made permanent.
A New York court ruled that
Giuliani made quote demonstrably
false and misleading statements to
courts, lawmakers and the public at
large in his capacity as lawyer for
former President Donald Trump.
He, of course
repeatedly lied about voter fraud.
He wasted resources and the court's
time by showing up to battle it out
regarding the results of the 2020
election without a single piece
of evidence indicating
that there was voter fraud.
They also argued that his lies
helped fanned the flames that led
to the January 6, insurrection
at the nation's capitol.
The Attorney Grievance Committee
contends they write that
respondents misconduct directly
inflamed tensions that bubbled
over into the events of January 6th
in the nation's capitol.
We conclude that respondents
conduct immediately threatens
the public interest and
warrants interim suspension from
the practice of law pending further
proceedings before the attorney
grievance committee.
And one person who was not pleased
about this was Andrew Giuliani who
was very upset on behalf of his
daddy.
>> All five of them are Democrats,
three of which were appointed by
Andrew Cuomo five to nothing.
Ultimately Democrats with zero
republicans on there.
Again, this is just unbelievable
to see just how politicized all of
this has become.
I am infuriated by all of this and
any American that believes in
an independent justice system.
This is going after one of
presidents Trump's closest allies,
that's exactly what this is.
>> And that was Andrew Giuliani
giving the audience a generous
amount of headroom for that video.
So, Emma,
thoughts on this, is this nothing
more than a political witch hunt?
>> I can only think
about the headroom.
>> [LAUGH] He might think that his
head is similar to that of like
Matt Gates.
So he's just,
there's like an issue going on over
there like [LAUGH] >> I mean- >> We
have the important news to discuss.
He did not have one friend with him
to record this video, so he's like,
I've got to put it on top of a car.
But he probably put
the camera higher, right?
Instead of when you turn it
horizontally, put it on the higher
end as opposed to the lower one.
[LAUGH] I mean, dude,
is this like a Wes Anderson movie?
What kind of
framing are you doing here?
It doesn't need to be like this.
[LAUGH] It makes you look really
short and small and
we already know what your gene pool
looks like >> [LAUGH] My gosh,
okay, look but serious point here.
Well, we'll clown on Andrew later.
Why did it take so long?
I mean, this guy was a practicing
lawyer up until literally today.
And with everything that transpired
following the 2020 election,
all the lies all the incitements,
Guiliani is facing a federal
investigation in regard to
his business with Ukraine.
His home and
his office got raided by the feds.
I would argue I could be wrong
Emma, but
I would argue that lawyers who
don't have tidy cozy relationships
with people in positions of power
do not get this much leeway.
As they're making these massive,
massive, terrible decisions with
their Licenses.
>> I mean, yeah, absolutely, and it
is another example of the powerful
being held to different rules than
everybody else's and especially
somebody who was the former mayor
of New York, right?
And despite his public meltdown,
he still has a lot of clout just
because he was mayor on 911.
And I know that's hard for
people to fully grasp but
it's the same way, there are still
people in the state,
who gave Andrew Cuomo credence and
kind of brush aside the COVID death
cover up in nursing homes.
Or the sexual harassment, and
assault allegations because,
he was governor during COVID and
we saw him on TV.
I mean,
there's a lot of that involved but
I think at a certain point,
the guy's a raging lunatic standing
a Side Sidney Powell going to four
seasons landscaping to do a press
conference for Donald Trump.
His hair's melting off his
spitting everywhere,
I mean with every word there's just
spiddal all over the place.
He's a breathing lunatic and the
fact that he still had his license
was unfortunate and a menace
because he started ostensibly using
it as Trump's lawyer.
>> Yes. >> So it's fine if he's
kind of, hibernating and
not using it and he's just active
in political life and going on TV
or whatnot and he's not practicing.
But he was involved in legal
proceedings with Trump,
at least representing him.
So, okay, this guy has done
numerous things and been involved
in numerous criminal probes.
It's time to at least suspend it at
the very least
