Rudy can fail, and so can his lawyers
That’s a lot of boxes of ziti:
Rudy Giuliani must pay two Georgia poll workers who sued him for defamation $148 million after he falsely accused them of helping to steal the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump.
The former New York mayor and ex-Trump lawyer has been on trial since Monday in federal court in Washington, where Ruby Freeman and Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss filed a lawsuit against him asserting that his baseless claims in December 2020 destroyed their reputations and exposed them to a torrent of vicious threats and insults.
The eight-person jury was only required to weigh how much Giuliani should pay the women in damages after the federal judge in the case issued a default judgment against Giuliani in August based on his admissions and failure to turn over evidence in the case. Moss and Freeman had sought up to $47 million in damages.

Your periodic reminder that “what happened” to Rudy is “nothing.” Indeed, he was a canary in the authoritarian coalmine:
He was just as much of an evil doofus back then, too. The fact that anyone looked at him positively after 9/11 really just shows how desperate people were to find someone they could cling to as a hero. https://t.co/2mxzSSW7Xg pic.twitter.com/IuRlFexRct— Parker Molloy (@ParkerMolloy) December 15, 2023
