Giuliani’s legal woes blow back on Trump as he searches for lawyers who will promote ‘the same nonsense’

According to MSNBC legal analyst Katie Phang, a ruling by a panel of five judges to suspend Rudy Giuliani from practicing law in New York for lying in the service of Donald Trump is as much bad news for the former president as it is for the former New York City mayor.

With the ruling stating, "We conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump's failed effort at reelection in 2020," Phang suggested that Trump will have difficulty finding any lawyers who will go to the mat for him like Giuliani did.

The more frustrated Trumpworld becomes, the more dangerously ‘radicalized’ it becomes

On June 24, supporters of former President Donald Trump were infuriated to learn that his former personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, had been suspended from practicing law in New York City — where the ex-NYC mayor once served as a federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow discussed Giuliani's suspension and other things affecting Trumpworld on her show on June 24, warning that the more frustrated Trumpworld feels, the more dangerous and "radicalized" it will be.

Maddow noted that Trump, in response to Giuliani's suspension, urged his followers to "take back America." And Trumpworld, Maddow added, also feels frustration because members of the Michigan State Senate have debunked "all the Stop the Steal conspiracy theories about how the election was stolen from Trump in Michigan" — while in Georgia, a judge appeared "to have blocked an effort by Trump supporters to arrange some sort of Arizona-style recount in Georgia."
