It’s time to move Donald Trump from the White House to some other house. But what about some of his enablers? Is it also time to disbar Giuliani?

          Move Trump and his enablers from the White House to the....

Rudolph Giuliani, Donald Trump Jr., Lara Trump and Eric Trump were among the rabble rousers who joined Donald Trump in inciting the treasonous insurrection that on Wednesday made headlines around the world. 


A mob invaded the Capitol, smashed windows, broke down doors, and trashed office, threatening legislators while interrupting the business of Congress.

 

“We’re coming for you,” Trump Junior said, reportedly referring to Republican members of Congress who don’t back pro-Trump efforts. Later, Junior told his supporters to call off the violence. That’s a bit like a mad bomber changing his mind several seconds after he’s lighted the fuse.

 

They all deserve to face a jury. But meanwhile, the New York Bar Association may be able to do something very quickly about Giuliani.

 

It was Giuliani who, prior to the mob’s terrorist attack on Congress, called for “trial by combat.” What could that possibly have been, if not a call to violence and sedition?

 

Disbar him.

 

It doesn’t take an act of Congress. It doesn’t take a presidential order. It doesn’t take any government action. All it takes is the members of the New York Bar Association.

 

Lawyers of New York? Where do you stand?


 UPDATE (January 11)— Turns out there's more to disbarring Giuliani than I thought, but somebody at the New York Bar Association either reads this blog or arrived at the same conclusion anyway.

And while they are at it they should arrest the lot of them and charge them with sedition.
