Trump Handed a Medical Pardon to Rudy Giuliani

Only some people get access to the best health care in America. Proximity to the president helps.

“Giuliani, having been treated with 1 percenter medicine after exposing himself and countless others across multiple states to COVID, in packed rooms, while declining to wear a mask, falsely told the same radio show that “if you get early treatment, nothing’s going to happen to you. … You totally eliminate the chance of dying.” Meanwhile, it should be noted that the (noncelebrity) director of the White House security office spent three months in the hospital, lost his right foot and lower leg, and is now crowdfunding for his medical bills and resulting rehabilitation. He is probably not on the streets bragging about his effortless recovery, because he didn’t have one.“

Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and the MyPillow Guy Are in Huge Trouble

Trump judge rules that there may be consequences for Trump lies.

“ Nichols’ opinion sets forth the false claims peddled by each of the three defendants, then picks apart the evidence they used to support it. The resulting decision—which suggests that Dominion might satisfy even the high bar set for defamation claims from public figures about political contests—is a beatdown. “

How Close Are We to Criminal Charges for Donald Trump?

Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara on accountability, Rudy, and the death of truth.

“I tend to agree with those people who liken Trump to a mob boss who doesn’t have to say the words. Historically, it’s been very hard to prosecute the mob boss for these precise reasons.”

It’s Time to Consider Sanctions for Trump’s Legal Team

These frivolous lawsuits are expressly engineered to undermine the public’s faith in core democratic processes.

All this raises the question of the lawyers’ ethical conduct in bringing these cases in the first place. A New Jersey congressman has called for the disbarment of nearly two dozen Trump lawyers. As scholars who have devoted the better part of our professional lives to the study of legal ethics, we believe, based on the records publicly available to date, that the disciplinary case against certain of Trump’s lawyers is strong.

Of course, there is nothing unethical about launching a lawsuit thinking that it’s a long shot likely to fail. Lawyers cross fundamental professional boundaries, however, when they file cases that make unsubstantiated allegations of election fraud and heedlessly assist their client’s calculated effort to erode trust in our democratic system. For lawyers who have sworn to uphold the rule of law, that is an astonishing breach.
