No amount is enough

I hope Giuliani is sweating even more than he was that time the hair dye ran down his face.

How much should it cost to defame two innocent citizens in the service of a dangerous fallacy that sought to undermine a U.S. presidential election?

That’s the question jurors are set to answer in the defamation and conspiracy trial of former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani. Jury selection took place on Monday in the federal district court in Washington, D.C.

This phase of the civil case centers on the penalty. District Judge Beryl Howell has already found Giuliani liable for defamation and civil conspiracy for repeatedly making false statements about two Georgia election workers: Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, who are also mother and daughter.

Giuliani also admitted over the summer that, while working on behalf of former President Donald Trump, he spread lies about Freeman and Moss. He had previously said the women were caught on video pulling out “suitcases” of pro-Biden ballots. State and federal inquiries concluded there was no truth to the allegations, which Giuliani and his allies kept repeating.

What a pile of dung he is. That’s a horrible accusation, and they’re two obscure citizens doing their jobs, and oh by the way they’re not white. What an awful thing to do – all for the sake of helping the worst person in the world ruin everything for everyone.

Freeman and Moss say Giuliani inflicted emotional harm, damaged their reputations, and exposed them to death threats. They’re seeking tens of millions of dollars in punitive damages.

I hope they get them. I hope they bankrupt him.
