The radical left continues to weaponize the U.S. justice system against former President Donald Trump and now his allies, sending a clear statement to American conservatives that they are next on the proverbial hit list, as a federal judge just found Trump’s former personal attorney liable for defamation of character against two Georgia election workers he accused of fraud in 2021.
Katelynn Richardson of the Daily Caller is reporting that, “U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell, an Obama appointee, issued a default judgement against Giuliani holding him liable for defamation, civil conspiracy and emotional distress. The judgement was entered after Giuliani ‘refused to comply with his discovery obligations,’ failing to preserve electronic records requested by the attorneys for election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.”
“Donning a cloak of victimization may play well on a public stage to certain audiences, but in a court of law this performance has served only to subvert the normal process of discovery in a straight-forward defamation case, with the concomitant necessity of repeated court intervention,” Howell stated.
I’m sure the fact this judge is a raging liberal who was put in his position by another raging liberal has nothing to do with the fact that he sided with the two election workers. Nor does the fact the defendant in this case used to serve as an attorney for the left’s most hated enemy, former President Donald Trump. No, not at all.
This is how stupid radical progressives think we are. If that doesn’t make your blood pressure hit the boiling point, what will?
“Perhaps, he has made the calculation that his overall litigation risks are minimized by not complying with his discovery obligations in this case,” Howell railed. “Whatever the reason, obligations are case specific and withholding required discovery in this case has consequences.”
The Daily Caller added that a trial will be held at some point between November of this year and February of next year to decide how much money the election workers will be able to yank from Giuliani’s pocket to ease all of the mental anguish they’ve suffered as a result of being accused of fraud. The poor babies.
Along with that, the former mayor of New York City will also have to produce records related to money earned from his Common Sense podcast, along with financial documents previously requested by the court. He has until September 20 to comply.
“Giuliani pointed to the FBI’s seizure of his electronic devices as a reason for his failure to preserve and produce the required information, noting it would cost him over $320,000 to pay a vendor to access the archived documents, according to court documents,” the report explained.
A political adviser to Trump’s former attorney, Ted Goodman, commented on the ruling referring to it much the same way I did at the beginning of the article, as the weaponization of our justice system where being involved in the process itself is actually the punishment.
“This decision should be reversed, as Mayor Giuliani is wrongly accused of not preserving electronic evidence that was seized and held by the FBI,” Goodman went on to say, according to a report from the AP.
The report concluded by stating that in a court filing made in July, Giuliani admitted the accusations of fraud he made against the workers was false, though he says this admission in no way disproves his case that what he said is “constitutionally protected.”
