[5]
york law license suspended
[7]
a court statement with a blistering
[9]
rebuke of giuliani saying he
[11]
quote communicated demonstrably false
[14]
and misleading statements
[15]
in his capacity as lawyer for former
[17]
president donald trump unquote
[19]
goes on to say his bolstering of the
[21]
false narrative that the 2020 election
[23]
was stolen due to widespread voter fraud
[25]
immediately threatens the public
[27]
interest giuliani calling his suspension
[29]
baseless these judges
[33]
take action without giving me a hearing
[35]
they listen to the false
[37]
allegations that are made by the
[40]
democrats
[41]
and disregard the other side same thing
[44]
they did the president trump
[46]
they're basing it on the new york times
[48]
the washington post cnn
[50]
msnbc
[53]
the scathing 33-page decision comes on
[55]
the same day that
[56]
trump ally sydney powell she's the q on
[58]
sympathizing lawyer and
[60]
my pillow ceo mike lindell and yet rudy
[62]
giuliani himself
[64]
asked a d.c judge to throw out a trio of
[67]
billion-dollar defamation lawsuits
[69]
brought against them by dominion voting
[71]
dominion claiming it has suffered quote
[72]
unprecedented reputational and financial
[75]
harm
[76]
unquote due to falsehoods sped by spread
[78]
by the trio
[79]
in a quote viral disinformation campaign
[82]
that disinformation campaign sound a
[84]
little something like this
[87]
gee just about the 700 000 votes
[90]
that president trump was ahead by two
[92]
days ago that disappeared
[94]
president trump's campaign was denied
[97]
its right to a fair count
[98]
we have evidence of how they flip the
[101]
votes how it was designed to flip the
[103]
votes
[103]
the machines can be hacked there's no
[105]
question about that
[106]
their machines can be hacked we are
[108]
going to clean this
[110]
mess up now president trump won by a
[113]
landslide
[114]
we are going to prove it joining me now
[117]
is former federal prosecutor john
[118]
flannery
[119]
who worked with giuliani in the southern
[121]
district of new york
[122]
john so i i have to start with this
[125]
because i
[126]
find all of this bizarre and strange and
[128]
i don't know how all of these people
[130]
haven't lost their law licenses at this
[131]
particular point
[132]
giuliani's argument is that well it
[135]
wasn't really me lying
[137]
i was just sharing what witnesses said
[139]
so i want to play this sound
[141]
and get your thoughts on this as a
[142]
lawyer on the other side
[144]
okay everything i said about this case
[148]
comes from a witness sometimes two or
[150]
three witnesses
[151]
i have a woman who was willing to
[153]
testify
[155]
that she was taught how to cheat by the
[157]
democrat party in detroit
[159]
before you can say i was acting
[160]
improperly you've got to listen to these
[162]
witnesses
[165]
so in other words his argument is
[168]
basically like
[169]
the other people lied to me so i'm just
[171]
lying for them like does that actually
[173]
work in court unless it's like night
[175]
court or something
[176]
well it might delay the conviction a few
[178]
minutes but it ends up in the same place
[180]
i i've dealt with a number of
[182]
prosecutions in which you know you have
[184]
the i don't know
[185]
uh perjury and usually you can prove
[187]
that because they remember everything
[189]
around it
[189]
except the incident that they claim not
[191]
to remember which is inculpatory
[194]
he makes a big mistake here he assumes
[196]
that people aren't going to read the 33
[197]
pages that they wrote
[199]
describing why he was a danger to the
[201]
community that is to courts
[203]
to legislators and to the public for the
[205]
lies that he told
[207]
and when he was in pennsylvania and this
[210]
is why new york has a stake it was
[212]
because he had a new york license he got
[213]
to appear in the middle district of
[215]
pennsylvania the first time
[216]
in 20 years in a courtroom that's a
[218]
lawyer for you
[219]
but when he was talking to the court he
[221]
was saying fraud fraud fraud fraud fraud
[223]
and the court at one point said well is
[225]
that in your complaint
[226]
and he said at first it was and then it
[228]
wasn't and that in
[230]
and of itself is a lie but he had a
[233]
whole series of factual
[234]
misstatements that were demonstrably
[237]
proven false
[238]
he even said joe frazier is still voting
[240]
in 2021.
[242]
well he when he died in 2012 for a
[245]
couple of months he was on the rolls and
[246]
then he was removed like other people
[248]
are when they're aware of it
[249]
so his lies are petty and they're large
[252]
and they're big
[253]
and as a result 75 percent of
[255]
republicans think the election was
[256]
stolen because of his lie so this
[258]
this had an effect and so when they say
[261]
in new york we're going to suspend you
[263]
they're suspending him and they might
[265]
normally give you a chance to rebut it
[267]
but what he
[268]
said was so dangerous and so terrible
[270]
that they invoke procedures they have
[272]
and he gets to challenge them and at the
[275]
end of the day there's a good chance
[276]
he'll be disbarred so i'd like to think
[278]
that uh
[279]
this is the the spring of the reckoning
[282]
this is we're now able to surface the
[284]
reckoning
[284]
because america is nuts for somebody to
[288]
actually be punished for the wrongs
[289]
they've done rudy giuliani
[291]
right at the top right next to trump and
[293]
several other people
[295]
so john and this is the thing i i hear
[297]
you because clearly
[299]
whenever giuliani gets in trouble it's
[300]
somebody else somebody you know he
[302]
initially goes to the shaggy defense it
[303]
wasn't me it was somebody else
[305]
but i also think it's really important
[307]
when you were focusing on the danger
[309]
that he
[309]
caused by spreading the lies and what
[312]
those consequences have been
[314]
at a local and a federal level i want to
[316]
play you this really quick sound of him
[317]
again in his own words question the
[320]
election we'll talk about that on the
[322]
other side
[325]
those are the ballots that were stuck in
[327]
the machine eight times nine times
[329]
ten times i don't know what the vote in
[331]
michigan is our vote
[332]
is owned by two venezuelans
[336]
who were allies of chavez now if they
[339]
ran such a clean election why wouldn't
[342]
they make
[342]
all the machines available immediately
[348]
what amazes me it was when these same
[349]
arguments were being made
[351]
by democratic activists and organizers
[353]
in florida and georgia they all said
[354]
they were crazy
[356]
john after hearing something like this
[358]
what kind of defense because you said
[360]
look it's suspension now
[361]
he could eventually be disbarred what
[363]
would be the line what else does
[365]
giuliani have to do to actually beat
[367]
this bard in new york
[369]
well we have a limp uh prosecutorial
[371]
team
[372]
in various places and i mean new york dc
[375]
and
[376]
georgia which don't act and i don't
[379]
understand
[380]
it because as a young prosecutor this
[381]
kind of outrageous crime would just turn
[383]
the juices i mean you'd have
[385]
you'd have fire in the belly to bring
[386]
down people like this and we're not
[388]
doing it and that itself works against
[390]
us
[391]
so what we really have is an
[392]
interference in the election from the
[394]
2016 election to the 2020 election and
[398]
every place in between cover-ups to
[400]
avoid it
[401]
and nobody's punished for it it's not
[403]
enough to wring your hands and say oh
[404]
you shouldn't do that that's really
[406]
terrible and then we do nothing for it
[408]
and we still invoke uh terms like no man
[411]
is above the law when plainly
[413]
these guys are and uh i wish new york
[416]
could get off its buns and i wish
[417]
both the southern district and the da's
[419]
office and georgia would do it
[421]
and we stopped talking about rioters
[423]
let's go let's look at what the
[425]
intelligence people were doing not doing
[427]
let's look at what the hill was doing
[428]
not doing
[429]
that's the big case it's not about the
[431]
rioters they're the facility
[433]
for an incitement for an insurrection
[436]
who was really
[437]
behind it really quick we've got 30
[438]
seconds i just have a quick question
[440]
now that giuliani's law license is
[442]
suspended does this mean that
[443]
conversations that he has with people no
[445]
longer have attorney-client privilege
[446]
would that also be a new opening no i'll
[449]
bet you that
[450]
very few of the conversations that we
[452]
would be interested in hearing were
[453]
attorney-client privilege
[455]
but an attorney-client privilege in the
[456]
past persists in the past
[459]
through the president even while he's
[460]
suspended now
[462]
a nice question would be if i talk to
[464]
him now when his license
[465]
is suspended can he advise me and i
[467]
think the answer is
[468]
hey i don't ask and b uh why would you
[472]
ask
[473]
nobody would listen john flannery thank
[475]
you so very much for your time i
[476]
appreciate it
[477]
