Judge orders default judgment, sanctions against Rudy Giuliani in election workers' lawsuit
CNBC ^ | August 30 2023 | Dan Mangan

A federal judge on Wednesday issued a default judgment against former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and imposed sanctions on him in a civil conspiracy lawsuit filed by two Georgia election workers he had claimed mishandled ballots in the 2020 presidential contest.

Judge Beryl Howell sanctioned Giuliani for failing to comply with demands for documents and other evidence sought in the case by lawyers for the election workers, Rudy Freeman and Wandrea' ArShaye Moss.

Howell also ordered attorneys for Giuliani and the two women to propose three possible dates for trial in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., on the question of how much monetary damages he should be ordered to pay them as a result of the default judgment.

The law says you have to hand over requested documents or risk default judgment.

Something is odd about this case. Rudy chose not to dispute their claims while not admitting fault. He said it was a legal strategy so he could move on from the case quickly. Seems he’s getting that wish. Maybe it was because of the criminal case and he wanted to focus on that defense?

This was the proof-of-concept perfected on Alex Jones: Deny the defendant a jury trial, block the defendant from presenting a defense under threat of contempt of court, deem the defendant guilty and empanel a jury to determine the penalty.

And lack of money to pay lawyers. He will need lawyers for the GA case which is much bigger.

“Giuliani in a court filing last month conceded, for the purposes of the lawsuit, that he had made “false” statements about the women that were “defamatory per se.””

Ruby v. Rudy or Rudy v. Ruby?

One of Trump’s sons, Eric Trump, wrote on Facebook that “Republican observers were cleared out of State Farm Arena due to a ‘water main break’, but 4 people stayed behind, rolled out suitcases of ballots, & continue to count ballots in private from around 1030PM until 1AM.”

But the water leak occurred at 6:07 a.m. on Election Day, according to the arena, and it was fixed within two hours — meaning it occurred long before the episode in question.

Rudy is broke. Can’t afford attorneys to fight. The process is the punishment.

From what I know, he accused them of manipulating ballots but never produced any evidence. But from what I remember, this happened when they said there was a water leak at the convention center and they were going to stop the vote counting, but cameras showed they were still working afterward when people that were there to watch them had left.

“Later in the night, Regina Waller, the Fulton County public affairs manager for elections, told ABC News that the election department sent the State Farm Arena absentee ballot counters home at 10:30 p.m. despite earlier intentions to complete processing Tuesday night.”
