Writing in the New York Daily News this Monday, attorneys Robert C. Gottlieb and Dennis Aftergut contend that you don't have to have a law degree to see that the "clock may be ticking on some Trump lawyers’ licenses" namely Rudy Giuliani and Joseph DiGenova.
"Those questions are unavoidable in the case of DiGenova," they write. "On November 30, he said on Newsmax TV that former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Christopher Krebs, should be 'taken out at dawn and shot.' DiGenova’s dog whistle to militia types came just days after Trump fired Krebs for vouching for the election’s integrity."
According to the attorneys, DiGenova attempt to walk back his comments fall flat, especially in today's political environment, with so many threats of violence against Trump’s perceived opponents -- "it is no laughing matter for a lawyer to fan flames," they write.
While the attorneys say they hope Giuliani's current case of coronavirus is mild, his conduct has been a "disgrace."
"As 25 former DC Bar presidents wrote on December 1, lawyers may not falsely proclaim widespread voting fraud, submit a pattern of frivolous court claims and actively seek to undermine citizens’ faith in our election’s integrity without running afoul of ethical mandates," they write.
