Rudy Giuliani admitted under oath that his "evidence" of voter fraud in the 2020 election came partly from social media and that he did not interview or fact-check his sources, reports say.
Donald Trump's former personal lawyer made the comments in a deposition on August 14 in relation to a defamation lawsuit brought by a former Dominion Voting Systems employee, Eric Coomer, first published by The Colorado Sun.
Coomer is suing the Trump campaign and others for promoting baseless conspiracy theories that he helped "rig" the election for Joe Biden.
In the deposition, Giuliani admitted that he got some of his information about Coomer's alleged role in the election fraud from his social media posts but couldn't be sure if it was Facebook or another platform.

(12,797 posts)I mean, if some unverifiable source ALSO claims " This is what THEY don't want you to know"... Well, what more proof do you need?
Was he always this crazy and incompetent and we just didn't notice in the shock of 9/11?

(33,643 posts)The video Coomer watched in his hotel room represented a new development in Dominions troubles. It was that days episode of The Conservative Daily Podcast, a program previously unknown to Coomer, which had been posted to YouTube. Were going to expose someone inside of Dominion Voting Systems, specifically related to antifa, and related to someone that is so far left, and is controlling elections and his fingerprints are in every state, said the shows co-host, a man using the pseudonym Joe Otto. Otto who would eventually reveal himself to be Joe Oltmann, a Colorado entrepreneur claimed that he had found a smoking gun that proved fraud at Dominion: We 100 percent know that the election was rigged.
About 11 minutes in, Coomer heard Oltmann say his name. The conversation will be about a man named Eric Coomer, Oltmann said, spelling it out: C-O-O-M-E-R. Next Coomer was staring at a photo of himself up on the screen in what Oltmann called his little outfit, a bike uniform Coomer wore in 2016 for a six-day endurance mountain-biking race. Coomer was looking at his own half-smirk, half-smile, the face of a middle-aged man with a sparse goatee, staring into the glare in sunglasses. What other photos did Oltmann have? What other artifacts of his life, of his family and how hard was this man looking for all of it?
Oltmann claimed that, earlier that year, he had infiltrated what he said was an antifa phone call and overheard someone someone he claimed had been identified as Eric at Dominion assure his supposed fellow antifa members that Trump would lose. He responds and Im paraphrasing this, right? Dont worry about the election, Trump is not going to win. I made effing sure of that, Oltmann said. He told his listeners that he thought little of who this Eric at Dominion might be until after the election, when a friend sent him a Facebook post about election troubles that mentioned Eric Coomers name. Suddenly, Oltmann said, his interest was reawakened. He started looking into Coomer, he said, and the more information I got, the scarier it got.
Spoiler alert ... it doesn't get scary at all unless you're a paranoid Cult45 member.

(2,787 posts)Rudy Giuliani was always bad, at least since he ascended to being Mayor. The NYPD got real violent and wasted huge amounts of money arresting pot smokers and stopping and frisking kids and young adults. He also instituted the custom of having the police discouraging and avoiding filing reports of crime, in order to make NYC look safer than it was by gaming the compstat system. That is still going on through today.
He also participated in a bit after his second election on Saturday Night live in December '97 with one rebroadcast June '98 with an appearance on the Joe Pesci show bit, where it ended with rudy beating down an actor playing Mayor Marion Berry. I gave up on big network TV altogether after that across the board. Corporate TV isn't ever telling the truth or helping the working class.
