Rudy Giuliani Asks To Delay Trial So He Can Attend Trump's Inauguration

Rudy Giuliani wants to delay his trial date with Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the two Georgia election workers he defamed and owes roughly $150 million, because he really wants to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, an attorney for the mother-daughter duo told a judge on Monday.

A trial to enforce Giuliani’s payment to the women is set to begin on Jan. 16, just days before Trump will be sworn into office on Jan. 20. In a letter filed late Monday, Freeman and Moss’ attorney Aaron Nathan urged U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman to deny Giuliani’s Nov. 15 request for a month-long extension to deadlines in the case.

Giuliani’s lawyer Joseph Cammarata said this is because Giuliani has “‘plans to be ‘present’ at the presidential inauguration’... and because, in Defendant counsel’s words, ’there are inauguration events planned for, I believe, January 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, 2025.”

Cammarata said there would be “no harm” done if the trial was simply adjourned for just a few days and resumed by Jan. 22, according to Nathan. This is but the latest turn in a very long series of delays that have persistently dogged the mother and daughter pair’s attempt to collect from President-elect Donald Trump’s onetime personal lawyer and co-defendant in the Georgia election interference case.

6. The laws don't matter. People are groveling before Trump out of pure fear.

People are terrified to cross Trump in any way.
And he is not even in office.

Laws no longer matter at all.

I don't think that will work in a civil suit, will it?

Using a big GOP party as an excuse to delay handing over what he owes those women he tried to destroy is a pretty desperate move. Time for judges, all of them involved with cases that Trump flunkies lost, to hand down some justice and enforce the verdicts.

like normal people? He'll be in the same timezone, so when the judge breaks for lunch Roodles can go to the nearest bar or other place with a TV and see it next-best-thing-to-live. Or he can stream it later.

Why does he need a month-long delay? Is he planning to walk to DC and back? Or is he planning to need that much time to recover from the inaugural parties - if he's even invited.
