Where's Rudy?

[GoCubsGo]

RudyRudyRudy destroyed his own reputation, as we've covered in this thread since 2019 and elsewhere in BRD before that. This is all whiny projection. My low opinion of Rudy has not been shaped by Joe is any way. Just to refresh my memory I searched "Biden" in this thread. I found exactly one instance where Joe clumsily went after him, 2019:


Mirror, asshole.

Rudy doesn't need Biden's help, just roll the tape.

Judge punishes for flagrant disregard of court orders

The judge presiding over the upcoming damages trial against Rudy Giuliani said Friday she will tell jurors that the former Trump lawyer intentionally hid financial documents and other records in defiance of court orders.

In a five-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said the move was necessary given "Giuliani’s continued and flagrant disregard of this Court’s August 30 Order that he produce financial-related documents concerning his personal and his businesses’ past and present assets" and other pertinent information.

That means jurors deciding how much Giuliani should pay two Georgia election workers he defamed will be told they can assume the worst about why the former New York City mayor has failed to turn over the court-ordered records.

"The jury will be instructed that it must, when determining an appropriate sum of compensatory, presumed, and punitive damages, infer that defendant Giuliani was intentionally trying to hide relevant discovery about the Giuliani Businesses’ finances for the purpose of shielding his assets from discovery and artificially deflating his net worth," the judge wrote.

Additionally, Giuliani and his lawyer will be prohibited "from making any argument, or introducing any evidence, stating or suggesting that he is insolvent, bankrupt, judgment proof, or otherwise unable to defend himself" since he failed to hand over evidence that would show that's true, the judge wrote.

... In August, Howell ruled that Giuliani was liable for defaming the election workers over his repeated refusal to turn over certain documents. The judge then scheduled a Dec. 11 trial for damages, and ordered him to turn over financial information and documents to her lawyers. The trial will be held in Washington, D.C.

In a filing last month, Freeman's attorneys said Giuliani “failed to take any of the actions” ordered by the court, including turning over $89,000 in legal fees.

"Consistent with his prior track record in this matter, Giuliani failed to file any response," the judge wrote.

Friday's ruling comes as Giuliani faces increased legal and financial problems. He's been charged criminally in the Fulton County racketeering case with Trump and more than a dozen others. All but one of the 19 defendants has pleaded not guilty.

Giuliani's also being sued by his former lawyers, who allege he owes them about $1.4 million in unpaid legal fees. Giuliani has called the bill excessive.

He also owes the IRS almost $550,000 in unpaid federal taxes. Giuliani spokesperson Ted Goodman said last week that he "has a formal agreement with the IRS to pay off the liability.”

Opps. How do you like our laws now, former US Attorney RudyRudyRudy?

Cool, I was worried you had turned anti-FDR Repug.

I thought the commies did give us the New Deal. FDR was concerned about Depression revolution as was happening in other nations and so he co-opted the commie agenda by incorporating some elements in his New Deal. The Repugs sure called it and still call it commie. Am I remembering wrong?

Thank you for my Medicare and SSI, Uncle Karl.

That’s different than: they infiltrated his administration, but I guess that would have been the claim.

True, though I think there was some infiltration, both Russian-guided and homegrown, not that I have a problem with the latter. The homegrown commie perspective is as valid as any other and should have a voice. Besides, wasn't Eleanor a commie?

Judge chastises Rudy Giuliani for failing to appear at hearing ahead of defamation damages trial

... Giuliani was sued as the head of former President Donald Trump’s legal team and a proponent of a disinformation effort that slandered Moss and Freeman and caused them significant emotional distress. The judge has already found Giuliani liable for defamation, and next week’s trial is to determine the monetary damages he must pay.

Moss and Freeman seek tens of millions of dollars in damages from Giuliani. The trial is set to last four days.

The judge said several times during Tuesday’s two-hour hearing that Giuliani should have been in court to agree he understood some of the parameters they were setting for the trial, and that he wouldn’t take issue with them later.

Howell told Sibley that Giuliani must agree in writing by Wednesday that he won’t later split from what his lawyer has done on the trial plans so far, so there won’t be further discussions while the jury is seated....

Is Rudy busy hawking vitamins door-to-door now?

[GoCubsGo]

Freaking funny.

Oh, Rudy.

[GoCubsGo]

That's some mighty fine lawyering and a terrific legal argument.

Close the case!

More than 3 times what Rudy's victims requested. The article doesn't say whether the jury is unanimous. Symbolic since Rudy is broke, but a very powerful symbol.
