Ron Filipkowski 3 hours ago

On the same day Rudy Giuliani's second lawyer in Georgia filed a motion to withdraw as his attorney on his RICO case, he had a new lawyer file a defamation lawsuit against President Biden in New Hampshire.

Rudy claims that Joe Biden defamed him during the 2020 Presidential debate in Nashville, TN, when he said that Rudy "was being used as a Russian pawn." This is the clip from the debate that is the subject of the lawsuit.

At an impromptu press gaggle with local reporters in New Hampshire, Rudy said, "What he did to me is intolerable. He called me a Russian operative. That is a lie. That is false."

Rudy is requesting monetary damages as well as a public apology from Biden for his remarks during the debate...............................................

My screwdriver has been used as a chisel, but that does mean that it is a chisel.

Okay, weird example, but still.

And Rudy could have been used as a Russian pawn without knowing it.

some poor judge may suffer a spinal injury from falling out of their chair laughing - or maybe a heart attack.

Will the trial be at the Four Seasons lawn care?

You haven't thought this out. The discovery phase wouldn't be very favorable to you. But it's likely we'll never get that far.

Getting Rudy under oath and asking him about 2016 and everything else. Courts take a dim view of plaintiffs in lawsuits who try to evoke the 5th amendment.

"U.S. intelligence agencies warned the White House last year that President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani was the target of an influence operation by Russian intelligence, according to four former officials familiar with the matter."
