It’s infuriating to watch the president’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, dissemble and mislead.  It’s painful to listen to him echo Trump’s assaults on the justice system.  The outrage is warranted.  Journalists should continue to point out the inconsistencies, question his strategy and condemn his efforts to undermine the criminal justice system but the courts should not step in and strip Giuliani of his law license.

To his detractors, Giuliani’s sins are legion. Not only has he made assertions that seem fundamentally false, but he has also contradicted himself. He conceded, for instance, that President Trump spoke to former FBI director James Comey about the investigation into Michael Flynn and then later insisted the opposite. While the interviews are all on video, compiled perfectly for a Twitter audience to observe for itself, Giuliani seems to have no shame. He claimed that top aides met prior to the infamous Trump Tower meeting only to assert later that this meeting never happened. The list could go on.
