Forgive me for repeating myself but I’m going to do it twice: 1. You can’t make this stuff up and 2. Everything Trump Touches Dies is true. The big screenwriter in the sky is writing this scene today. This is too strange.
June 24, 1986: Trump lawyer Roy Cohn disbarred

The tweeter apologizes downthread for mistaking suspension with disbarment, but the coincidence is still quite striking. And certainly if Giuliani could phone Roy Cohn down in Hell, Cohn would tell him that suspension of one’s license is the first step to disbarment.
Rudy, of course, is taking this in stride and he claims he’ll be reinstated. Now both he and Trump are claiming reinstatement. Maybe they can do it on the same day, ya spose? Trump can have his second inauguration and Rudy can claim to be a born against Christian or some such. It could make a good skit. Say, what if Rudy becomes Trump’s vice president? Oh, I like this fantasy from Hell, this is entertaining.

Good luck with that, Rudy.
Here’s some of the damning evidence against him. His reinstatement has as much chance as Trump’s does.
Giuliani lied repeatedly for months about the number of ballots Pennsylvania mailed. When challenged before the court, he didn’t defend the claim but blamed an unnamed staff member for feeding him the line. The court found there’s no proof that ever happened. pic.twitter.com/BUF1bGYnP7

Giuliani lied about Joe Frazier voting after his death.
He continued to do so on his radio show even after facing bar discipline for the false claim. pic.twitter.com/hS7KqJU68z

And here’s the blowback you expected. Giuliani’s son is blaming “leftist judges” and Trump’s spokeswoman is blaming “angry Democrats.”
Or what about the DOJ prosecutors who lied on FISA warrants, and ILLEGALLY spied on President Trump's campaign?
Or the corrupt officials who started spying on @RudyGiuliani the day he became President Trump's attorney?
No, they only cancel people who tell the TRUTH!

I do love it when people like this new spox, Harrington, get triggered. They just start shotgunning talking points. They cannot stick to the issue and analyze the facts.
This will get funnier as the day proceeds, you watch.
They are complaining about not getting a hearing on the allegations. From what I can tell, his statements were publicly made and statements in court are official record. It seems pretty cut and dried. If he had any foundation for his claims, he had ample opportunity in court prior to produce them. But what do I know?
I know, right.
All I can say is IANAL, (I am not a lawyer)
Just like Rudy isn’t.
