The new ethics charges center on a series of legal challenges Giuliani made in Pennsylvania federal court in 2020. The charges were filed with the District of Columbia Court of Appeals Board on Professional Responsibility.
The complaint says Giuliani sought an emergency order to prohibit the certification of the presidential election, an order to invalidate ballots cast by certain voters in seven counties, and other orders that would have permitted the state's assembly to choose its electors and declare Trump the winner in Pennsylvania.
The charges say his conduct violated two professional conduct rules in Pennsylvania that bar attorneys from bringing frivolous proceedings without a basis in law or fact and prohibit conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice.
Charges can lead to the suspension of a license to practice law or disbarment.

I didn't find out how long the first suspension was in a quick search, but you'd think a second one might be a little more hefty, or maybe go further than suspension. But I think he's going to have more to concern himself with than his license in the not-too-distant future. Is someone keeping an eye on his whereabouts?
UPDATE: And he just keeps digging.
