Rudy Giuliani doubled down on his election-related allegations Monday, just days after two Georgia election workers won millions in a defamation lawsuit against him and hours after they filed another suit against him.
The former New York mayor must pay $148 million in damages to election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss as a result of their emotional distress following Giuliani’s accusations that the two were manipulating ballots in 2020. The second lawsuit sought to keep him from repeating the debunked claims at the heart of the first case.
In a rambling interview with Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt, Giuliani blasted the verdict, describing the court as a “fascist system run by the Biden regime.”
Giuliani told Schmitt that he still believes the allegations to be true, but that they “want me to lie.”
People who have exonerating evidence show it, and everything goes away without any civil or criminal trials.
People who have only bullshit lose trials and get criminal charges because all they have are lies. Their only play is to keep doubling down on the lies.
Revealing the evidence in a civil case would show the prosecuters in the criminal case what his strategy is and let them work around it sooner than they would be able to otherwise.
I think Grampy Rudy is playing the long game, knowing that's he's going to dodge paying a penny to anyone, but that the real strategy is "stay out of jail."
Don't forget greasing up his 2" punisher with leaky hair dye before felating him to completion in exchange for using donations from Trump's dumb-fuck followers to pay his legal fees.
He doesn't have $148M and he's hidden his assets in a bullshit nonprofit. Can a civil defamation and libel/slander suit do anything but try to extract more money? At this point he's sitting where Alex Jones is: as destitute as the courts can legally make them. More debt won't mean anything. He no longer has to fear punishment be cause the only punishment is meaningless.
I don't want there to be debtors prison nor do I want to curtail free speech, so I'm unsure what other measures can be taken.
I actually looked into something similar: making a corporation and basically making my corporate entity take on all liabilities while assets remain in a separate holding company.
This was mostly a thought/legal experiment with the goal of using the very cushy corporate precedents to shield me from things like accidents, etc. while allowing me to benefit from zero taxes, etc. Basically if something happened to me like a multimillion dollar court case, I'd dissolve the first entity, taking all its liabilities with it, and then set up a second subsidiarity. This is something most corporations do today.
The TL;DR is that while it's possible, it takes up a lot of time and resources and will likely need to hire an accountant to keep it all straight.
The reason why companies and rich people do this is because they have the resources and incentive. The only incentive I'd have is to save a bit on taxes and push off some risk. But not enough that it'd be worth hiring a full time accountant.
He's betting on staying in court until he dies .... which isn't long now given his age. He'll just keep fighting, knowing that no one will ever win.
Trump uses the same tactic .... all these old farts only have one ace in the cards - AGE - and they know that if they just keep fighting, they'll eventually pass, they would have had whatever bit of wealth and freedom for the remainder of their lives, and their opponents will get nothing except wasting their time in court.
The people prosecuting them are saints in my books ... because if it weren't for people like them, people like Giuliani and Trump would have more freedom to wreak all kinds of other havoc instead. The prosecutors are occupying these ugly dragons to keep them from wandering around and destroying things elsewhere.
Those states were never in question, though. Of course Hickedickle Alabama or Idaho are going to vote for a Republican, whoever it is. As usual the actual election is between the states that are close (so called 'purple'... I actually hate this color code the media thought of).
