Exactly.
The disciplinary arm of the Washington, D.C., Bar bought an
ethics violation case against Rudy Giuliani on Friday over his
claims of 2020 election fraud in a federal courtroom in
Pennsylvania.
The charges, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit, claimed the former New York City mayor
broke Pennsylvania's professional conduct rules in November 2020
when he “brought a proceeding and asserted issues therein
without a non-frivolous basis in law and fact for doing so” and
“engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of
justice."

GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARY
The filing zeroes in on how Giuliani, who presented oral
arguments in a lawsuit in the federal court brought on behalf of
former President Donald Trump's campaign, attempted to use two
instances of legally rejected ballots to invalidate up to 1.5
million votes in a state President Joe Biden won by 80,000 votes.
“The only place we have it happening en masse is in the [heavily
Democratic] counties that you can call counties controlled by a
Democratic machine that have quite an impressive list of voter
fraud convictions as part of their history and tradition,"
Giuliani said, according to the filing. "And all of the sudden,
with this greater opportunity to do it, they did it on a grand
scale."
However, the Washington Bar filing says Giuliani “should have
known the ‘evidence’ he provided” in the case “relied upon false
or faulty statistics and analysis.”
Giuliani also claimed physical barriers were evidence of fraud,
the filing said, "despite the fact that (a) the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court found the boundaries to be consistent with state
election law; (b) Plaintiffs never alleged facts showing
improper vote counting; (c) there was no evidence that these
boundaries were not applied equally to the campaigns of both
major candidates; and (d) one or more Republican-controlled
counties also imposed such boundaries."
In addition, Giuliani presented 300 affidavits to support his
stance in Pennsylvania, which the Washington Bar rejected as
“(a) unsupported, (b) unrelated to Trump voters (c) involve
conduct outside the seven Defendant Counties, and (d) by their
own terms were isolated incidents that could not have affected
the presidential election’s results by offsetting the Biden
majority of over 80,000 votes.”
The lawsuit was tossed in November 2021 by a judge with
prejudice, meaning it could not be returned to court, according
to Axios. "In the United States of America, this cannot justify
the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the
voters of its sixth most populated state. Our people, laws, and
institutions demand more," U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann
wrote.
The new filing is the latest in a string of punishments and
suspensions for Giuliani over his claims of voter fraud, which
have been widely rejected by the courts and election officials.
His law license was suspended in New York, and one year ago, he
was temporarily suspended from practicing law by the Washington
appeals court.
The new claim will now go to a hearing phase in which Giuliani
can respond to the allegations in front of a hearing committee.
The appeals court has the ultimate authority over disciplinary
proceedings, including punishments such as disbarment or
suspension, according to CNN.
