Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Sunday offered a justification after he was found liable for defaming two former Georgia election workers, Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman.

On his Sunday WABC radio program, Giuliani congratulated himself for a “brilliant legal move” because he recommended that then-President Donald Trump take his rigged election claims to state legislatures instead of the courts after the 2020 presidential vote.

“I went to Georgia, indicted, I went to Michigan, I went to Pennsylvania, I went to Arizona, and I went there, and I testified, and I brought my witnesses, and I said, among other things, if we lose, we’ll have a historical record, yet we’re going to prove this one day, Mr. President,” he recalled telling Trump. “I don’t even realize they’re going to try to put us in prison, arrest us, raid our apartments.”

    Sounds like he has zero remorse and is basically saying “My only crime is that I tried to stop an election stealing criminal”.

    The judge should double the ruling.

    • If these people don’t keep doubling down, the maga base turns on them and they are completely screwed. They rely on the money from grifting those idiots and are no longer even remotely accepted by the adults in the room.

      He doesn’t have enough money to cover the initial ruling. The courts need to more aggressively retrieve the money because it already may as well be a trillion dollars he owes.
