I predicted ages ago that Ivanka would go off and be a Kushner to distance herself from Daddy’s problems. I’m still expecting her to change her last name. Also, as if Donny didn’t have enough problems: > [@](#): > > Another consistent presence is that of Donald Trump Jr, whose penchant for politics has grown in the years since his father entered the political scene and who has become [an increasingly trusted adviser](https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/20/politics/donald-trump-jr-adviser/index.html)to the former real estate mogul.

Nah, he’s always been more sympathetic towards Republicans. It’s just that he thought that playing a Democrat on TV would play better with blue collar types to maximize his popularity. It’s another example of his unique grasp of reality and the transactional nature of all his decisions. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > For those who want some joyful beach reading, here’s a link to the court’s 33 page opinion. Man, they don’t bury the lede, do they. Second paragraph after detailing what sections of the Rules of Conduct were violated: > For the reasons that follow, we conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at reelection in 2020. These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent’s narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client. We conclude that respondent’s conduct immediately threatens the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law, pending further proceedings before the Attorney Grievance Committee (sometimes AGC or Committee). Actions have consequences. Who knew? ---

Technically, it won’t. He can still practice law in any other state in which he is licensed. However as a practical matter, I’d expect other states to follow suit, and few will hire such a “lawyer.” I’m afraid Giuliani is far from that description these days and not for quite some time. He also has bigger problems to worry about. I expect criminal charges to be laid against him quite soon. (Meaning sometime within the next six months.) IANAL. ---

Don’t state bars work on reciprocity? If you’re licensed in your home state, you get bar privileges in other states, but if your home state pulls your ticket, the others do too? Just curious - that’s how it works in Canada. ---

in how many states is he licensed? The suspension won’t affect Giuliani’s ability to act as a lobbyist or do security consulting, but will likely will prevent him from practicing law in jurisdictions even beyond New York, said David S. Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor. Giuliani would be obligated to tell other states about the suspension, he said, which “in all likelihood will cause them to say, ‘You won’t be able to practice here.’” ---

Yes, Ohio typically suspends the licenses of lawyers suspended in their home, or any other, state.
