Do it already!

Please do.

Well stop saying your gonna do it and do it!

Hey! That’s the huy from borat! Yackshamash!

MonicaLewinsky They need to stop “considering” and start doing it!

How about trial by combat?

He needs to be disbarred and NY can’t disbar him.

Considering? What’s to deliberate?

Do it already, for Christ’s sake.

It’s not enough leaves office he has to lose everything including security. He bills the gov’t, he needs to pay for security

MonicaLewinsky That's a very low bar.

Pure nonsense

Only considering

No matter what they do this man is a shit stain on humanity

kenjeong But not for the way he manipulated video to falsify evidence in the voter fraud cases?

stephen_colucci Considering? Come on...

Please get it done.

mlapierrekrause Consider. Consider? What’s to consider? He’s crazy and a stain on your organization and your profession

Disbarrred and charged with criminal penalties for inciting a insurgent along with soon to be 45.

I’m so sick of this pos! Considering? 😑

Why is this even a question?

He needs to be totally disbarred and never allowed to practice law again.

Considering?

Such snowflakes.

When will people take a damn stand and quit “considering” and actually hold these traitors accountable.

Finally.

Do it !!!!!!

He should be disbarred!

Being an attorney is tied to certain codes of ethics that may not be applicable to the average citizen. That's why the Bar Association takes steps to make sure attorneys follow the law and comply with the code. Rudy Giuliani has broken said code when he incited violence.

Considers? Do it!

DisbarGiuliani

USA_WINGMAN Hopefully it's more then just a consideration

MonicaLewinsky The fact that they’re only “considering” it really disappoints me. New York can and should do better.

Shun the traitorous villain

MonicaLewinsky Fake news Monica! Be careful what you retweet. You of all people should know that, given the high moral ground you’re standing on.

“Considering “ ?! Not “moving to” or “have” ? What the hell does he have to do? He suggested bringing back trial by combat. He has consistently ignored facts and wasted hundreds of thousands on pointless lawsuits. He’s begging to be expelled.

Disbarr RudyGiuliani.

Freedom of expression died in America 2021 killed by democrat commies

Took them long enough. Anyone ever hear, too little too late

MonicaLewinsky About bloody time!

MonicaLewinsky No one deserves it more. Consequences

MonicaLewinsky Great, but WTF took so long?

👏👏👏

MonicaLewinsky חוצפה מה זה יותר גרוע מהקומניסטים חוצפנים אמריקה נופלת לקומניזם 😠😠

Why are they just considering it? Just do it already! He incited insurrection!

MonicaLewinsky It is illegal and immoral to question the counting of votes in this new totalitarian America. One person one vote,the cornerstone of our democracy no longer works for the establishment, which has abandoned the needs of voters and now fears their votes. CancelCulture CancelVotes

MonicaLewinsky I can’t wait for our society to be nothing but rainbows and butterflies.

MonicaLewinsky Considering? Just disbar him

MonicaLewinsky Most of you here have no idea what you’re talking about. This isn’t disbarment. Just symbolic nonsense.

“Considering”? ABAesq what does it take?

MonicaLewinsky Mad Rudy to fat Donny equals Joseph Goebbels to Adolf Hitler!

MonicaLewinsky Nice symbolism. But really the First department of the Appellate Division needs to start disciplinary proceedings against him.

MonicaLewinsky Just considering it? You can do better.

MonicaLewinsky For the 'Lets have trial by combat' to a mob of protestors in DC alone, instant expulsion is justified.

MonicaLewinsky Thinking about it should take 2 seconds, come on!

MonicaLewinsky I hope they do it

I don’t want to see “considering” I want to see done

And Trump labels everybody Losers?

They should take away his law license for committing insurrection and rebellion. I hope he is sued civilly and brought to justice criminally.

DonnaPerrotta I’d love to see that live

Pleeeeeeeese

So the hands down his pants in a hotel room with a “minor” in a movie was not enough to disbar this guy? newyorkbar

Everyone needs to Stop talking Start doing YesWeCanI2R1

siristone Wow, really?

defundnpr cast doubt on the 2016 election. What is the difference? defundnpr knowingly lied.

But by all means don't question the Democrats' stealing the election!

Daniel_00000007 I’m tired of hearing, considering!! Take some damn action and f’en do it!!

Rudy should do prison time

Considering? A little late in the game isn’t it? I don’t understand why any of Trumps clownish legal team still has a license to practice law. Knowingly lying and misleading the public and their own client about election fraud should disqualify anyone.

Considering?!?!?! Do it already! Now!

This must be done.

Lol

Why are they only considering it, he’s just as guilty as those that broke out windows and assaulted police officers!

Drain the swamp! 😂

And what are they waiting for? What’s the need to evaluate further? Just fckin do it.

ScenicArtDesign Good because then the truth will come out.

CONSIDERING Can't anyone make an obvious decision anymore? The man's a traitor to America.

He is basically working for Russia. He and the entire Trump family and the Republicans that went to meet with the Russian Oligarchs July 4th. All of them voted against our legal election. Russia hacked us penetrated everywhere. Now this. All Russia objectives. Trump trusts Putin

“Considering” doesn’t sound serious enough.

They certainly should be expelling Giuliani; isn’t a lawyer supposed to be upholding the rule of law rather than twisting the truth to suit the whims of his deranged boss?

So glad they're acting so swiftly!!! If their house was on fire would they 'consider' leaving? TrumpsTerrorists

Soul for money.

Fake news. Its a private bar. Has no legal merit. Its like saying he was kicked out of a private club.

Letting it go this long just makes me question their credibility. He should have been expelled months ago before he damaged the country.

SE_7777777_EN it must be done. ANY OTHER LAWYER GIVE PRESS CONFERENCES ORDERING VIOLENCE. if he's doing that in public what is he ordering behind the scenes.

What is there to consider? The Bar’s rules are pretty damned clear. If the rest of us lawyers live by them, why shouldn’t he? It’s not like he didn’t know what the rules are. And it’s not like whether he broke the rules is subject to interpretation. Don’t be like the GOP. ACT!!

Do it already. It's pass time, hell you should have enough video evidence.

Just do it. NY State Bar Association SeditionHasConsequences.

'Considering' is less about right and wrong than about legal jeopardy. They don't want to get sued.

What's to consider?

Don’t just consider it. Do it! What’s there to consider?

YES

And how about his wild ass lies that everyone knew are lies and even Rudy admitted are lies? Stop with the 'cast doubt' crap.

Get going!

Stick a fork in it!

long overdue..

And to defend Rudy of this action, I present his favorite lawyer.....

Considering?!?! Execute it 🙄

Considering🤔

Considering? Oh my god.....I can’t.

iheartdogfarts Considering? What's to consider? He's proved time and time again he is unfit to practice law.

why hasnt he already been expelled? My God! The man screamed out to have ARMED COMBAT on American soil against American citizens

22aspen36 Better decades late than never

Trial by combat he said and then the barbarians marched and killed . TRIAL BY COMBAT!? What does that mean to people ? It means LYNCH EMALL

There’s a long list- is you look past last week😂

Considering? Oh wait is PreetBharara concerned? You had the power to stop most of this Preet. Did? NOTHING

What’s taken them so long? He’s been an embarrassment for a long time

The BAR IS NO LONGER. WE ARE A REPUBLIC.

Line em up and knock em down. Leave no doubt. Ensure this never happens again.

Expell him already

Pathetically long overdue. How the f does he presently meet the Moral Character & Fitness standards of the NY Bar?

Disbar Giuliani!!

Yes, please.

ABOUT TIME !

Considering?!?!

Go for it!

americanmclass I hope America is finally over putting sick old pervs in power, anywhere.

Considering?

He needs to be expelled from the American bar association and arrested for inciting a riot.

RudyGiuliani - from 9/11 hero to treasonous zero.

solusnan1 Considering?

It’s about time!

Dump Rudy!

He is DISGRACEFUL !!!

Disbarred

Bs

Considering Really? Are they genetically connected to Susan Collins?

What do you mean considering? Typical inaction as usual 🙄

Unfortunately, being expelled from the Bar Association and being disbarred are two different things. Like many others, when I first read the headline I thought it meant that he’d be disbarred. According to the article, it doesn’t.

Do it!

NPR at its worst along with the New York Bar Association. There are other political candidates in their poorly run city and state that better qualify to be disbarred.

Melting useless Giuliani.... pffff

“Morality is so hard.” - Congressional Republicans

NPR is like the gospel and I hope the prophecy comes true this time. Disbar

What no fires? Wait, someONE sat in Pelosi's chair!?! The HORROR! Oh wait the dems inflict worse on our towns everywhere?

They need to do it immediately

I can't believe they are on the fence

They need to. He’s lost his marbles.

anrimaca100 Thank God!

Do it. Clip Lucifer's wings. RudyGuilliani SeditionHasConsequences

Trump and his inner circle in Nov. knew from their own internal polling matching the election results, their was no fraud. They knew they lost. They have created chaos with their lies. search 'Alyssa Farah internal polling'

Hope they follow through and dis-Bar him.

Rudy Ghouliani needs to go right to jail, he’s just as guilty as Captain Chaos

Too bad they wouldn’t have expelled him for simply being an incompetent fraud. Good news for all the kooks though - pretty low bar to be a big time lawyer. AmericanDream

nybarfoundation What is there to consider? Expel the terrorist. RudyGiuliani

As they should!!

Expel

RudyGiuliani should have been expelled from the bar way back when he was involved in the call from the Ukraine. If not sooner. There shouldn't be any thought now though, he's so corrupt he belongs behind bars.

So what are they waiting for?

Trump complaint that The BLM marches were throwing Goya bean cans. Trump Terrorist actually were planning Murder, kidnapping, and torture. They bought bombs, tactical equipment, and weapons compare those beans.

Considering? What’s to consider?

Considering? It should have been done already. All they had to do was watch his speach last Wednesday.

The time for talk is over. Faith without works is dead.

Don’t consider it just do it.

kimlockhartga better late than never?

another, day late... dollar short...... HEY let's all act like we care now!!!

Just do IT. Stop talking and ACT.

Seems to me, maybe NY Bar Dems are trying to over throw——just sayin.

What took so muthafuckan long?

How about JennaEllisEsq ? Is she next?

Overdue.

Should've happened over a year ago.

What’s your sources here

Disbarr RudyGiuliani

As well they should.

HollywoodDebi Yes please

Disbar

'Considering'?

Serious question for the NY Bar — What. Else. Do. You. Need. To. Hear? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

They are chasing every who is close to the current President

Stop considering and DO IT. He called for insurrection.

Lock him up!

Lock him up!

WTF has taken them this long!

What are they waiting for?

They should he is a criminal!!

‘Considering’ = making a weak statement for PR sake which will eventually lead to no action and a return to the status quo

Just get on with it. There is not much to consider. He is guilty of sedition and insurrection and is therefore a traitor. If he is not arrested and gaoled there is no justice in the land.

Gelatin_Cyborg DO IT!!

if there has been any fraud committed during this election that has been from the Trump family and Rudy Giuliani and anybody that supported their efforts to do so they need to be prosecuted if they don't get prosecuted I wouldn't surprise me if we find some snipers

Please and all God's Graces and Mercies and chastisement Rudy Giuliani needs to be chastised to the highest for pushing and peddling false information bringing lawsuits against the cause where there was no evidence for one purpose to raise doubt in our election processes

Do it.

Considering?

Considering? Does anybody in this country have a spine?

This Rudy.

He needs to be disbarred immediately.

Lying will get you barred

I hope they do

They should get on with it.

I wish they'd just do it. Its like they're trying for public opinion first.

What is there to 'consider'?

should not be hard have you been listening to the man?

do it

Do it! Don’t waste time politely pussyfooting around announcing intentions. Either you have the evidence or you don’t. So, get on with it or stop wasting our time.

Stop Giuliani for god sake.

The 20th 12:01..strip and arrest.

Hold him accountable.

Put your money where your mouth is.

Boot him out! He's totally lost his mind.

Rudy”TrialByCombat” Giuliani “America’s Mayor” Everyone in that crowd knew you were kidding....right?

MichaelRapaport look at that ⬆️

Should have been disbarrsd in the 90s for starting a cop riot.

He should have been disbarred during the Muller investigations.

Help me understand, there was an insurrection at the Capitol and they are considering the 25th Amendment, considering barring Rudy, the major players, go figyre!!

Will New York also disbar Governor ‘Merchant of Death’ Cuomo for his total incompetence that led to death and misery for thousands of New Yorkers? Yeah. That’s what I thought.

gumboqueen3030 Considering ffs

on all fronts, the deep state outsmarted Rudy and Donald by 1000%

Duh! It’s about goddamn time

This is coming from the same people that want to eliminate the bar exam due to covid. Right out a school you can be a lawyer in New York. It's a joke and so is the state although not a funny one at that

Do it now

About time...the Ukraine fraud wasnt enough?

DisbarRudyGuillianiNOw2021

Considering?!?

Glad no one's being petty this days.

johncusack Considering is delaying. Do it. Don’t do it. But thinking about it is meaningless.

How is this even a consideration? It should be done already based on his lies and falsely filed lawsuits!!

All the legal action and what finally takes Giuliani out is calling a wrong number and leaving the wrong message. Looks like his karma ran over his dogma.

Means nothing. They are not a licensing body

How old is he?

don't consider, just do it. Would he have to burn down a children's orphanage to get them to respond? It doesn't get any worse than fomenting the attack on the Capitol

BUT ELIZABETH WARREN LIED TO THE BAR ASSOCIATION SAYING SHE WAS NATIVE AMERICAN TO GET PERKS WHEN SHE WAS WHITE BUT SHE DOES NOT GET DISBARRED?!?!?

Why even have a country anymore, free speech is gone, and if you aren't on the left you will soon be done. Maybe China can come in and wipe us out and start over.

Yesss👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and get him a nice orange jumpsuit! Get to it Rudy you’re on license plate duty

Yes because his statement was to go at war at the Capitol

Bar Association 👍 out gulliani

What about inciting insurrection. Guess they think that’s ok.

boy amazing how much slack they give these people!

Seems like a good idea. Distance yourself from the stink.

Expell him..

Considering. There is no consideration. Disbar Giuliani. He should be arrested

They should all be stripped of US Citizenship. INA §349/7: A person who is a national of the US, shall lose his nationality by voluntarily(..) 7/ committing any act of treason against, or attempting by force, engage in conspiracy to overthrow, the Government of the United States

Please be clear for readers that this would be removal from a voluntary state organization - it is NOT the same as being disbarred and losing his license.

That or just shrug off his unlawful behavior as a boy being a boy.

Do it...

Maybe they should just go ahead and expel him from the Bar Association and have it over with .

Surprising it took the NY State Bar Association this long to do that

Would be nice if the state disbarred him but I guess revoking his membership is the same thing./s

Considering? Do it?

No need consider, just go to jail for supporting un-Patriots, terrorist act...Confederate flag!!!that is criminal and supporting the mob boss

Sure they are. Anybody else can say anything they want though

Jail him.

Do it already!!

Now now. Let’s not be hasty here. It’s only his first insurrection. You know how kids are at his age. Can’t we cut him a break? I’m sure he’s learned his lesson.

Considering?!? Have we not seen enough proof that he has completely violated his oath?

johncusack Excellent. Giuliani has committed a myriad of offenses which clearly warrant his disbarment. He also needs to be prosecuted, tried and convicted for sedition.

johncusack Pull his Goddamn law license. It’s going to happen when he’s convicted of any number of felonies, anyhow.

Finally! When they go low, you go high!

johncusack Considering?... really? Should have already happened, the damn day after!

johncusack Considering? Do it!

johncusack

He called for combat. What's to consider?

Please NY Bar Assn, please do this. We lawyers have enough lawyer jokes without this buffoon dragging the profession into the sewer.

esginger2 💯💯they should!!!!

Love how everyone is using words like “considering”, or “looking into”. F*cking do something! 🙄

Disbar this disgusting person!

There should be no considering. They need to just do it! And it should've been done months ago!

Correction on the white washing again. He didn’t cast doubt - he lied for profit to incite an insurrection

What’s taking so long?

Play treasonous games, get treasonous prizes.

NOW!

Do it

Yes, as they mention the election - all of this backlash should have started the second they called our election 'rigged'

Let him be a lawyer long enough to “defend” Trump in in upcoming hearing. The comedic side of it all it what this country will need to heal.

He should be disbarred, arrested, and jailed for inciting sedition.

Too little too late- the damage is done and he will continue. Nothing will stop then as there has been no accountability for 4 years!

Get his ass.

Do it, don’t just consider it. I think the evidence is overwhelmingly clear here. Giuliani engaged in inciting an insurrection along with other crimes. The buck needs to stop here!

Less talk more action!!!! 'Cast doubt' should say flat out lied!!!

I kinda liked the guy after 9/11. I'd see him at Yankee Stadium, he had a wacky kid.. People would tell me he was rounding up poor/homeless & vanishing them into the system but I didn't listen. In the last 4 years he's become a clown monster.

Considering? They need to pull the trigger on that.

just do it

what, do they not approve of trial by combat?

Can we stop considering it and do the damn thing?

BarAssoc BarAssociation yes please!

Considering? They should do it right away!

I will always remember his as the Mob buster..

Oh, I'm glad their going to 'consider' it.

SadieMaeTN Considering?! Do it now!

I don't understand what there is to consider. Expel the liar NOW!

He should’ve been expelled when the lies started

Hurry Up we are tired of seeing his Ass on T.V he don't make any sense

Well there goes half of Trump's impeachment dream team

Not empowered to ...? That makes no sense to laypeople.

He is so unhinged and so entertaining in his pathology... It'd be a shame to diminish the number of stages where he can do standup.

lol, considers

Considering? You’re fucking kidding me

Yeah I think I could even do a better job as a lawyer even though I never attended law school,haha

Gee took them long enough.

Excellent and about time, now he should be charged and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Considering? 👀

Just do it! What is to consider here?

'bout time

That is a CYA answer. Do they need more people to lodge a formal complaint to the NY Bar?

No consideration ! Just do it ! VanillaISIS
