Rudy Giuliani did not show up for a court hearing Thursday in a $1.3 billion defamation case against him that took place hours after his New York law license was suspended due to his alleged “false and misleading” claims about the 2020 election.
All the other major figures involved in the hearing - MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, lawyer Sidney Powell, Dominion Voting Systems chief John Poulos and even famed attorney Alan Dershowitz - were in attendance, either in person or by phone.
But Joseph Sibley, Giuliani’s lawyer in the case, told a federal judge in Washington that he was the only person there representing Giuliani in his bid to have the defamation suit dismissed.
“It’s just me,” Sibley said at the start of the hearing.
Earlier on Thursday, a New York state appellate court suspended Giuliani, the 77-year-old former mayor of New York City and the onetime U.S. attorney for Manhattan, from practicing law in the Empire State.
In their searing order, a panel of five judges cited Giuliani’s “demonstrably false and misleading statements,” made in his capacity as former President Donald Trump’s lawyer and with the intention of bolstering the baseless narrative that the 2020 election was stolen due to widespread fraud.
The temporary suspension came a day before Giuliani’s 52nd anniversary as a licensed lawyer in New York. It will stay in place pending the outcome of a formal disciplinary hearing.

I was thinking the same thing...
And the Rar judges said, “no talking about the election fraud evidence.”
Giuliani somewhat mournfully points out the Rat destruction of law.
How can they prove his claims were false and misleading if there hasn’t been a forensic audit in the swing states where voter fraud was alleged?
The Swamp in New York State runs deep.
Rudy will continue the fight.
It's because there is absolutely no opposition from the Republican party.
Yep. The RINOS are with them. It is the elites v we the people. And remember the elites think we are stupid.
Exactly!
Amazing timing on a LOT of actions.
I thought that was their job.
Not if you are for Trump. Anything goes
Exactly.
I am not make light of the a NY court's ruling, but here is something I heard in the Netflix series Ozark. I am paraphrasing:
Marty (He's a money launderer): I can live with myself, I just move money between accounts.
Helen (She's a Lawyer of a Mexican drug cartel): So can I, I just move words around.
That about sums it up. A criminal and a lawyer, err a criminal. I am not saying all lawyers are criminals, but all lawyers "move words around." That in itself is not criminal. It is the other stuff that lawyers do that is criminal. I don't see that here with Rudy.
I think this move was less about Giuliani and was more “pour encourager les autres” as it were.
To make it even harder for anyone fighting Deep State to find good legal help.
Guess we’ll see how many courageous lawyers this nation has left.
The Great Purge just before The Great Reset.
The huge pot of frogs is now simmering. They’re setting the table, making the tartar sauce and serving the champagne...
Going a little off subject here, but I have a question.
This is going to sound sarcastic, but it really is not.
In order to practice law, you need a license issued by the state you are practicing in.
In order to get a license, you need to be a member of a private organization (bar association).
In order to become a member of this organization, you need to pass an exam issued by this organization.
This organization has requirements you must meet before you can take the exam.
Once you have a license, this organization can remove you from membership, and the state takes your license.
Any appeals will be heard by lawyers and judges that are members of this organization.
Here are my questions: How can a private organization cause someone to lose a state issued licence?
Who oversees this organization on the state level, to insure fairness?
If the person or people overseeing this are members of the organization itself, is that not a conflict of interest?
Our judicial system is looking more and more like Russia every day.

I agree.
And if we have none?
We are well on the way to being a totalitarian socialist state.
Except they were neither false nor misleading. The Dems stole the Presidential elections in Pennsylvania though massive ballot fraud. That is fact.
