Judge hauls Rudy Giuliani into court for allegedly repeating 'exact same lies' about defamed Georgia election workers

Source: Law & Crime

Nov 21st, 2024, 10:12 am


A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has ordered Rudy Giuliani to appear for an in-person hearing next month after the two Georgia election workers he defamed requested he be held in contempt of court for allegedly repeating the lies about the 2020 election that resulted in a $148 million judgment against the former New York City mayor.

The motion for civil contempt was filed Wednesday morning after Giuliani made several pleas last week for public donations, saying he couldn’t afford to feed himself as a result of debt he owes to Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss. On Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell ordered Giuliani to respond to the plaintiffs’ filing by Dec. 2 and appear for an in-person hearing to address the matter on Dec. 12.

According to Freeman and Moss, Giuliani’s defamatory campaign against them continued even after they were awarded the astronomical judgment and Giuliani was forced to declare bankruptcy. To curb Giuliani’s behavior and prevent additional legal action, he eventually consented to a permanent injunction prohibiting him from making any additional claims or statements indicating that the plaintiffs had “engaged in wrong-doing in connection with the 2020 presidential election.”

But the former U.S. Attorney in Manhattan has been “brazenly violating that consent injunction,” plaintiffs’ attorneys say.

Imagine that booze-head in the slammer for a week without booze! He'll stroke out or have a fatal seizure.

A boy can dream, eh?

in bankruptcy, so what's the disincentive to defame some more? Not being sued. Not going bankrupt. Add whoever to the list of creditors who get to fight over insufficient scraps, big deal.

So unless a judge jails them for contempt they will keep doing it.

Either way, he's in a deep enough hole of debt which can't be gotten rid of that the threat of making the hole deeper isn't behavior-changing.

It is the only way to get him to comply. He keeps getting the former mayor deference treatment. Treat him like the filthy crook that he is.

Until January when he will be pardoned on all charges and will resume his defaming them.

Pal donny has money. And aren’t they still supposed to be close pals?


Or has “pal” donny kicked him to the curb because he’s more of a hindrance than a help by now?

Ecumenist, drink responsibly, if you do. Take Ghouliani as the perfect reason for my gentle PSA.
