Judge Rules On Election Workers’ Suit Against Giuliani
A federal judge on Monday declined to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed against former New York City Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani by two women who served as election workers in Georgia in November 2020.
In the lawsuit filed last December, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss accused Giuliani of defaming them by falsely stating that the pair had engaged in election fraud while counting ballots at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The lawsuit says Giuliani repeatedly pushed debunked claims that the mother-and-daughter pair pulled out suitcases of illegal ballots and committed other acts of fraud to try to alter the outcome of the presidential election in Georgia.
In an opinion accompanying Monday’s order, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell in Washington described the situation that followed the November 2020 election, when the vote totals in several key states were so close that the results were not immediately clear.
“As election workers across the state worked long hours carefully ensuring the accuracy of the election, the Trump Campaign and its allies, including Giuliani, engaged in a media offensive that at best questioned, and at worse condemned, their work,” Howell wrote.

As the false allegations about them circulated online, the two women said, they suffered intense harassment, both in person and online. Moss detailed her experiences in emotional testimony before the U.S. House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The committee also played video testimony from Freeman during the hearing in June.
Moss, who is Black, said she received messages “wishing death upon me. Telling me that I’ll be in jail with my mother. And saying things like, ‘Be glad it’s 2020 and not 1920.’”
“A lot of them were racist,” Moss said. “A lot of them were just hateful.”
In a court filing in June, Giuliani argued the lawsuit should be dismissed because the claims against him are inadequately pleaded and are barred by First Amendment protections for free speech. Howell rejected those arguments, allowing the lawsuit to move forward.
“Despite the repeated debunking of the Trump Campaign’s claims of voter fraud in the election in Georgia by state officials and private organizations, Giuliani persisted in pushing those very claims – and began taking direct aim at plaintiffs in the process,” Howell wrote.
A lawyer representing Giuliani in the defamation lawsuit did not immediately respond Monday to an email seeking comment on the ruling.
“Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman served their community and their country. In return, Rudy Giuliani and his allies – and others – told vicious lies that turned their lives upside down,” one of their lawyers, Von Dubose, said in a news release.
Giuliani’s spreading of debunked claims about Freeman and Moss has also caught the attention of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who’s investigating whether Trump and others illegally tried to influence Georgia’s 2020 election. Willis has told Giuliani’s lawyers he could face criminal charges in that investigation.
The defamation lawsuit originally named right-wing cable news channel One America News Network, its owners and its chief White House correspondent for also pushing the debunked claims. They were dismissed from the suit in May after reaching an undisclosed settlement with Moss and Freeman.
The two women also have filed a separate defamation lawsuit against The Gateway Pundit, its owner Jim Hoft and his brother Joe Hoft, a contributor to the conservative website. That lawsuit is pending in Missouri.

What about the video judge ?
They weren’t pulling out suitcases full of bogus ballots.
They were pulling out their extra-large lunchboxes that just happen to look like suitcases.
The vid showed whatever was pulled out,,,,,
,,,
was entered through the tabulators
,,..
,,
multiple times.
.
Beryl Howell - stooging full blast.
Beryl Howell is one of the top five scummiest Democrat Party stooges in the federal judiciary.
I have yet to see this debunked in a non fictional way. The video said it all.
Beryl Howell was in on the ground floor of industrial Democrat vote-rigging in the United States.
This little Commie female dog CLERKED for the greatest Hero of the Soviet Democrat American Union in history - right at the time he was rigging big city “voting” for the next forty years.
I’m glad it was dismissed.
Declined to dismiss.
More bad news for Rudy:
A federal judge in New York declined to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by members of New York’s Five Families against former US Attorney Rudolph Giuliani, claiming that he falsely accused them of criminal activities, when they were only working tirelessly to ensure that construction projects were provided with concrete, that garbage was collected on time, and that local businesses were provided protection from robbery.
Great...let’s talk about the “water main break”. Or was it a toilet that overflowed?
I take it is a dc robe wearer not poatland. And Rudy dissed ruby?
Heeeeee,
engaged in a media offensive that at best questioned, and at worse condemned, their work. Well the questioning was certainly pertinent given what they was doing and condemning well thats the law speaking .
A complete overhaul of our judicial system is in order this coming Hanuary amoungst other things.
One question, among many that I have not seen properly answered:
Where were the authorized, secured locations for ballot storage in the arena?
Ballots are to be secured and safe at all times. Placing ballots in unsecured locations, even if in a Pelican case, cannot be considered meeting the definition of secure. And I would suggest that prepositioning these cases under tables in a general access area would not be considered secure.
Why has no one asked to see who put the cases under the tables? Preserving the so-called chain of custody.
Was the secure storage area full? What are the written procedures for overflow areas? Why would there ever be a need for an overflow secure storage area?
Unfortunately once the judge decided that nobody could question the narrative, the fix was in. As we all expected.
Yes. What about the video? I guess the judge will not allow that into evidence. First, they kicked out all the poll watchers. Then they breakout the hidden suitcases. They didn’t know they were being video taped. I sincerely believe people should hang when convicted of election fraud. Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
C’mon on. Those weren’t tabulators and those were not ballots. Those were sandwiches going through automated panini presses.
Of course, “da judge” declined to dismiss the suit brought against Giuliani by a bunch of RAT “tallymen”. He’s a Republican. “Da Feral judges” only dismiss suits brought by Republicans against da RATS. “Here come da judge, here come da judge.”
