Right. Nothing at all political, is it?
You think lawyers should be disbarred for their speech? Speech outside of the courtroom. Not under oath.

Are you recommending that the government step in and tell that professional organization what professional standards they may promote? Why can't that professional group set their own standards for member licensing amd conduct? Do you think that a professional organization should ignore professional members telling dangerous lies in their professional capacity?

It's not just for "lying in public". It's for knowingly lying about the integrity of the United States election process as well as doing so as a "public figure". You can read it for yourself: Matter of Giuliani-- document cloud
A lawyer is subject to a higher ethical bar as part of their license involves being an officer of the court, or legal system as a whole.
"The court emphasized that public falsehoods issued by public figures who are attorneys damage the legal profession’s “mandate to act as a trusted and essential part of the machinery of justice.”
It's exactly the concept Twitter and facebook chose to apply to Donald Trump and other conservatives who claim the election was stolen, and which you falsely claim is "censorship" when a warning is attached or the person is suspended.
Trump Junior is still there spewing lie after lie, just not the kind of lie that will get you kicked off the site.

Crazy Rudy Guliani's law license is finally being suspended due to his being a liar and endangering our democracy and our right to vote! What's next? He needs to be disbarred! Narcissist and sycophants like him won't be stopped unless it hits their ability to make money and wield power. Thus, every state bar needs to go after every lawyer that lied on behalf of Trump and his crooked cronies regarding the election in 2020 in an attempt to keep that madman, Trump, in the White House!:
