The disciplinary hearing over the suspension of the Washington D.C. law license of Rudy Giuliani got contentious Tuesday as he simultaneously tried to distance himself from the lawsuits that were deemed frivolous and admitted to submitting filings with claims for which he did not have evidence.....
He and other attorneys on behalf of Donald Trump have been accused of filing lawsuits for the sake of sowing disinformation rather than in pursuit of justice.....
However, the former New York City mayor also admitted that there were claims his cases made that he and fellow attorneys could not support with evidence, insisting that this was okay, because the evidence would have been recovered during the discovery phase of the proceedings.
Sadly for a former U.S. Attorney, Giuliani also admitted to having fraud allegations restored in one complaint after they had been removed, and his attorney suggested the blame falls on Donald Trump for urging Giuliani to hurry to become familiar with cases in at least ten states immediately after the election. The Washington Post reports:

Giuliani said the team put information in the complaint that they believed was accurate at the time, but they expected to obtain the facts later In discovery you get the additional information. This was specific enough for this stage of the pleading. Thats why its evidence, and not a conclusion, he argued.

And not a single state bureau of investigation got involved.
It was all for show. It was all bullshit.
