“‘If we’re wrong, we will be made fools of, but if we’re right a lot of them will go to jail,’ Mr. Giuliani said. ‘Let’s have trial by combat.’

NYSBA has a responsibility to defend and protect the rule of law. Based on these complaints, and the statement Mr. Giuliani uttered shortly before the attack on the Capitol [see above], NYSBA President Scott M. Karson has launched an inquiry pursuant to the Association’s bylaws to determine whether Mr. Giuliani should be removed from the membership rolls of the Association.”
