In a court filing last night, Rudy Giuliani admitted he lied about a key allegation that fueled the “Stop the Steal” movement in Georgia. Giuliani and others in Donald Trump’s post-election efforts accused two election workers — a mother and daughter — of manipulating ballots to wipe out Trump votes. A video of the ballot processing fueled this allegation, even though Georgia election officials insisted it showed nothing out of the ordinary.
Giuliani admitted to making false statements in accusing the two women, who are suing him for defamation. But Giuliani asserts in the same filing that he has a First Amendment right to, er … promote falsehoods, or something:
Rudolph W. Giuliani has admitted that while acting as a lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump, he made false statements in asserting that two Georgia election workers had mishandled ballots while counting votes in Atlanta during the 2020 election.
The admission by Mr. Giuliani came in court papers filed on Tuesday night as part of a defamation lawsuit that the two workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, had brought against him in Federal District Court in Washington in December 2021.
In fact, Giuliani even admits in the filing that his statements were “defamatory per se,” and that they were both false and “actionable,” and that he was no longer disputing the factual allegations made by the two women. That in itself might be news to people who have stood by the claims made by Giuliani and Team Trump for more than two and a half years. Many of them refused to believe efforts to debunk these claims because Trump’s attorneys kept asserting them as fact, especially Giuliani.

“...even though Georgia election officials insisted it showed nothing out of the ordinary.”
Isn’t that our point?
So why lie when truth is so abundant? Was he given incorrect information?
At this point why should we care if our side lies? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander

The OP is a DeSantis supporter, he’s posting this article to throw shade on the 2024 Republican frontrunner.
Sorry articles you don’t like exist.
His claim as to your motive exists. Sorry you don’t like it.
Rudy’s side of the story:
Rudy W. Giuliani @RudyGiuliani 🚨CORRECTING THE RECORD🚨
The Fake News says I admitted to lying in an overnight court filing. I didn’t.
We are simply moving to a point in the case where we can file a motion to dismiss.
If you see a headline claiming I made an admission, just know it is #FakeNews.

Until Rudy explains this, I’m going to wait. ED MORRISSEY is a liberal Republican.
He didn’t say he lied. He said he was giving his opinion.
People were actually commiting election fraud. You dont have to lie about people who weren’t Rudy. Cripes.
So what? So you make everyone who believed you out to be dupes for believing you? You could have actually just targeted some of the people there who actuzlly did election fraud. They were all over. How about that.
We all saw the video of ballots being pulled out from under table and run multiple times each.

Ruby Freeman was left unsupervised while repeatedly scanning the same ballot stacks for at least two minutes per the video footage isolated by National File.
Giuliani was totally the wrong attorney to be leading the effort regarding election / voting fraud. He has minimal experience in that area of law and listened to the likes of Sidney Powell. What a clown.
Sorry articles you don’t like exist.

The obscure article you posted doesn’t bother me one bit.
Carry on.
Wait. Now let me get this straight. Rudy submitted a late night document conceding that what he was saying about what happened election night was a lie and posting about it is somehow wrong?
But when the article you post is a lie, you should be ashamed you feel for the lie by Ed Morrissey. He said he was offering his opinion, based upon evidence he was provided, as well as, collected personally.

Where did I say posting an obscure article about Rudy was wrong?
I didn’t.
I said the OP is a DeSantis supporter, who is posting this article to throw shade on the 2024 Republican frontrunner.
Obscure? That was a fairly significant admission. I’m no DeSantis fan, but I really wouldn’t care who the poster was or their motivation. It’s a big story. He’s given up on the having proof angle because the discovery is undermine and pulling in too many others so he’s claim now he’s got a first amendment right to slander/libel not only those 2 women, but anybody.
