but for me as the attorney general of pennsylvania, the chief law enforcement and legal officer of the commonwealth, accountability comes by holding those accountable who have tried to undermine our courts. you know, we have rules in our court system both at the state and the federal level. you're not allowed to waste the court's time. you're not allowed to lie to the court. yet we have lawyers like rudy giuliani, who have come to our courts in pennsylvania and lied about what happened here and wasted the court's time. it's one of the reasons i've appealed to the disciplinary board in new york state to try to hold rudy giuliani accountable. it's one of the reasons why i sought sanctions in a case out in colorado where they lied about some ridiculous conspiracy between poll workers in pennsylvania and mark zuckerberg and dom-in onvoting system. these lawyers need to be held accountable. elected officials who pushed the big lie need to be held accountable. then, ali, we've got to get back to some truth-telling in this commonwealth and in this country. let's get back to an agreement on a basic set of
