Rudy Giuliani tried dodging getting served with $1B Dominion Voting Systems suit: source

Source: New York Daily News

Dominion hired the process servers to hand Giuliani its mammoth 107-page lawsuit after the former mayor ignored requests to simply accept it via email, the source said. The voting machine company claims Giuliani destroyed its reputation by knowingly spreading lies that it helped steal the election for President Biden.

On Tuesday, the company filed a separate defamation suit, also seeking $1.3 billion, against MyPillow CEO Mike Lendell for making similar bogus claims Dominion played a role in election fraud.

“After not responding to requests to waive service, Mr. Giuliani evaded in-person service of process for nearly a week. It took numerous attempts, at both his home and office, before we were able to successfully serve Mr. Giuliani on February 10. Mr. Giuliani’s repeated false claims about Dominion have been immeasurably damaging; this service of process is one more step forward in our pursuit of justice,” said Tom Clare, an attorney for Dominion.

Giuliani said he welcomed the court fight after Dominion sued last month.

And: Dominion Had To Use ‘Extraordinary Measures’ To Serve Sidney Powell In Defamation Lawsuit

Snip

These “extraordinary measures” included “hiring private investigators and pursuing Powell across state lines,” Dominion attorney Thomas Clare wrote, as legal plaintiffs are typically required to serve the people they’re suing in person in order to begin proceedings against them.

It's stranger than fiction and if we hadn't seen it play out before our very eyes... it's most likely that producers would take the script and toss it directly into the wastebasket because it's so absurd.
