For instance, an attorney #ethics panel in Washington recommended last year that #JeffreyClark, a senior #DOJ official during Trump's first term as president, be #disbarred for conduct involving dishonesty.
Clark sought to enlist the DOJ in Trump's failed attempts to overturn his #2020election loss based on false claims of widespread voter fraud. A DC appeals court has yet to make the final determination on #disbarment.

The proposal takes aim at the actions of #bar associations & similar professional organizations, not government entities, that investigate alleged #unethical conduct by #lawyers & consider actions such as #disbarment, which involves revoking a #license to practice #law [cuz, yeah, sane humans believe Rudolph Giuliani should still have legal authority /s].

Poll Workers’ Lawyers Bill Rudy Giuliani $89k for Missing Evidence
Faced with a potentially costly #defamation #lawsuit for spreading conspiracy theories about two Georgia poll workers following the 2020 election, Donald Trump’s former personal attorney #Rudy #Giuliani is already facing consequences for refusing to turn over evidence in the case.
Following a federal judge’s order #sanctioning Giuliani last month—and ordering him to #pay legal fees #for #wasting #everyone’s #time—the poll workers’ lawyers on Wednesday submitted a legal bill in court totaling $89,172.
It's less than half of what they say they normally charge for the time they spent dealing with Giuliani's antics.
The final bill is up to U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, who previously wrote that Giuliani “#arbitrarily #limited his #search” of an email server and “conducted only an imprecise ‘manual search’ of his text messages,” causing a #ten-#month #delay—only to later #surprise the opposing side with another 4,000 pages of evidence.
Giuliani was once Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor but is now facing #disbarment in the nation’s capital for having “#weaponized his #law #license to bring a #frivolous #action in an attempt to #undermine the #Constitution” in the service of former President Donald Trump.
