Rudy Giuliani was hit with an ethics charge by the Washington, D.C., Office of Disciplinary Counsel on Friday over his promotion of baseless claims about fraud in the 2020 presidential election before a federal court in Pennsylvania, jeopardizing his ability to practice law in the city.

The D.C. Bar’s disciplinary arm said that he had violated the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct by bringing a proceeding and asserting “issues therein without a non-frivolous basis in law and fact for doing so” and engaging “in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice,” according to the filing.

The complaint said that Giuliani provided insufficient sourcing to prove his allegations that election fraud had taken place in Pennsylvania.

Giuliani “further justified his allegations of fraud against the” defendant counties in the case “by promising the district court that ‘statistical analysis will evidence that over 70,000 mail and other mail ballots which favor [President] Biden were improperly counted,’ … but Respondent should have known the ‘evidence’ he provided relied upon false or faulty statistics and analysis,” the complaint read.

1. So what we learned last night was TDFG, Flynn, Ghouliani, and S. Powell

were the ones who hatched the plot to use various pressure points and launch the Jan 6 Stop the Steal protest that would "be wild".

Amazing it was that small a cabal. What exactly did Flynn do between getting fired in 2017 and Election Day 2020? Why was he suddenly in on this plan to overturn the election?

2. I mean, seriously.........

what COULD this "elite" team of legal beagles have been thinking?

If you are going into a court with bullshit complaints and data/sources/evidence - how can you POSSIBLY think you are going to win?

Was it that they were ALL thinking that they'd get into courts with tRump-appointed judges and they'd automatically give them a win?

Did they believe/assume that dRump would have some 'magic' presidential power to cover their a$$es for whatever they tried to do?

Seriously, these people (Giuliani, Powell, et al) are NOT people without education. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING TO RISK ALL OF THIS!
