The Lincoln Project's legal response to the false and defamatory statements made by Rudy Giuliani.

I love this letter. It is a great letter that lists all of Rudy's failures and gives him until Feb. 3 to apologize. This will be fun to watch

Right click and choose "view image" will yield the same size image at some URL like
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EtAfnRGXYAQFny7?format=jpg&name=360x360

All the stuff after "?" are instructions for pbs.twimg.com
Note "format=jpg".

In the address bar, take off the ? and everything after it, replace with ".jpg" and you usually see the full image.

Do the same for "format=png" twitter images, except replace with ".png".

Doesn't always work, but most of the time it will.

Using firefox in slackware on a raspberry pi here.

...something like one minute prime time ad spots on at least 4 major networks and a full page ad in NYT, WAPO, etc., ... a real cost. But its a good start. Will be interesting to see what Rudy does with it. Where are proceedings from the various bar associations he must belong to, regarding disbarment? Rudy, Lin, Simone, Cleta, et. al. really are giving lawyers a black eye.

You will never again be America's Mayor, but there may still be time to save some of the cash that you pawned your credibility for, should Dominion Voting Systems ultimately leave you with any.

I've not seen language like that in legal proceedings very often, and that was about as personal and 'in your face' as any I've ever seen.

I wonder if Rudy knows any lawyers. Good lawyers, I mean.

It's pathetic to watch the fall, but these outrageous claims need to have consequences that discourage. We are awash in crazy conspiracy theories that are seriously damaging.

Can’t you hear his voice? I am guessing obviously but I bet you he wrote it and send it to the lawyer to review and OK

Pure speculation, just a writer.

satisfying, but.....

I don't think anything will really come from this other than some fundraising and riling up the people who like to mock rudy.
