Judge: Giuliani may have defamed Georgia election workers again outside DC courthouse (www.politico.com)

Just minutes after leaving the first day of his civil trial, Rudy Giuliani repeated a false allegation about the pollworkers.

Rudy Giuliani’s defiant public statements outside a Washington, D.C., federal courthouse — just minutes after he departed the first day of his civil trial for defaming two Georgia election workers — may have defamed them yet again, the judge presiding over the proceedings said Tuesday.

“Was Mr. Giuliani just playing for the cameras?” wondered U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, who has already found Giuliani liable for lying about the workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, by accusing them of manipulating ballots in the 2020 election.

His attorney, Joe Sibley, agreed that he could not reconcile Giuliani’s out-of-court comments on Monday evening with the more contrite argument Sibley had made on behalf of the former New York City mayor earlier in the day.

After the first day of his trial, when jurors began to hear evidence to determine just how much Giuliani must pay for defaming the two women, Giuliani approached television cameras outside the courthouse and reiterated his attacks on them.

"This has taken a bit of a toll on him. He’s almost 80 years old"

Boo fucking Hoo. They should ride that fucking traitors corpse into the poor house if they have to.

He could have sold his NY real estate, moved to a cozy home upstate with full time nursing care if he was so enfeebled.

It's a stupid fucking excuse. If the man's been on this earth hurting people and spreading bullshit for 80 years, why should I feel any sympathy for his age? These vile assholes don't deserve peace, they shouldn't be allowed to just get away with it because they've been ruining lives for long enough.

Won't someone please think of the perpetrator?! /s

@ Ghouliani: Get rekt you crooked, traitorous fuckstick.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Should have thought of that before deciding to commit crimes then.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Apparently you can be a criminal and so long as you get old before they catch you, you're good!

He should have walked away, around 2016. The whole "America's mayor" thing was a sweet deal for him.
