Giuliani should have been disbarred solely on the basis of his repeated dishonest representations to the courts. His depiction of those suits to the general public, while equally dishonest, are political and are protected by the First Amendment.
The NY Bar has no business disciplining lawyers for dishonest politics.
They were well within their rights to disbar him for professional misconduct outside of politics.

Were they?
Are investigations into veracity of Giuliani's claims regarding electoral fraud not still ongoing?

Lawyers repeatedly make false claims in court, both in defense and in prosecution.

Is that the standard for disbarment?
No!

Perhaps it should be.
If it was, Andrew Weissmann and Ben Crump would be selling shoes.
I'd be all-in if lying was the standard.
But it is not.
