(28,533 posts)He's gonna need that money before they're done with him, and they'll need to find every dime he has to satisfy their judgment. Put a lien on his wallet. Make him sell his friggin' cigars, too. Clean his clock! He deserves what he's getting.

Rudy Giuliani is not contesting accusations that he made false statements about two former Fulton County election workers ... according to a court filing ...
... Giuliani has repeatedly accused election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss of voting fraud. State and federal investigators quickly determined the allegations were false and said so.
Freeman and Moss endured harassment and death threats because of the allegations ... Giuliani said he is not contesting he made false statements about Freeman and Moss.
The defendant Giuliani, for the purposes of this litigation only, does not contest that, to the extent the statements were statements of fact and otherwise actionable, such actionable statements were false, Giuliani said in a signed statement attached to the court filing.
But he said the stipulation does not affect his argument that his statements are constitutionally protected statements or opinion ...

(5,979 posts)his argument.
Simply put. Fair comment excludes accusing someone of a crime. Defamation only requires proving that the other party communicated the comments to a third party.
accusing someone of a crime;
alleging that someone has a foul or loathsome disease;
adversely reflecting on a person's fitness to conduct their business or trade; and
imputing serious sexual misconduct."
Wikipedia
Rudy has hit 3 of the 4 nails on the head for this case and it has already been proven and decided.
To continue the argument based on Fair Comment proves that RG is no longer mentally fit for anything more than the stool at his local bar...

On Tuesday, the case docket showed that the litigation had been assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell, who presided over a recent verdict where Giuliani was ordered to pay Freeman and Moss $148 million for defamation.
The court also issued a summons for Giuliani.
