The attorneys who unceremoniously quit representing Rudy Giuliani in his receivership case concerning the $148 million he owes for defaming two Georgia election workers told the court they were forced to part ways with the former New York City mayor after he informed them that he “would not participate” in discovery for the case. Monday’s ruling to unseal portions of the attorneys’ motions to withdraw was “necessary to protect the integrity of the court and its orders.

“Defendant has informed us that he will not participate in electronic discovery in the Homestead Action,” Attorney Kenneth Caruso wrote in a previously sealed motion for him and co-counsel David Labkowski to withdraw. “Specifically, he has informed us that he will not identify or provide access to his electronic device(s) for imaging by an electronics-discovery vendor, which we have identified. We have a fundamental disagreement with that position. Defendant’s position also constitutes a failure to cooperate with us in the representation and renders it unreasonably difficult for us to carry out our employment effectively.”

The defamed election workers — Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss — have been in ongoing and often contentious litigation with Giuliani to collect on that judgment.

Caruso and Labkowski withdrew last month as Giuliani’s counsel without informing the former New York City mayor of their intention to nix him as a client, citing a professional conduct rule permitting the termination of representation under specific circumstances, including a “fundamental disagreement” with a client, a client insisting on presenting a claim that “cannot be supported by good faith argument,” and when the representation of a client becomes “unreasonably difficult.”

1. What else could Rudy be hiding?

Considering that his name has been run through the sewer and more than sufficient evidence exists of his crimes, there has to be a bombshell out there for him to be so uncooperative.

2. Sad

From a respectable mayor to a pitiful ass-kisser. One of the Moron Mafia’s gonna get rich spilling the beans on the real treason evidence. Somebody undeserving is gonna become instantly rich. Who’s it gonna be? Who’s gonna be the first Trump stooge to blow the whistle?

How about make a deal with Biden now for a pardon and become a whistleblower? Anyone want to be a national hero? Anybody? Somebody?

Do it now before President Musk is sworn in.

3. "From a respectable mayor to a pitiful ass-kisser."

Ghouliani was an ASS before he became mayor and continues to be one over 30 years later!

11. Too bad, David Dinkins isn't alive to see the depths to which this shithook has sunk.

I'm sure David got some giggles about the shoe polish. I know I did and still do.

12. Oh I am sure Dinkins knew he was a dick back then

and wouldn't have been surprised about the shoe polish meltdown that befitted the always-showboating clown.

4. Making note so I can find this later.

5. Why is this...

Serial criminal allowed to walk free?

[BumRushDaShow]

6. Since he used to be the U.S. Attorney in SDNY back in the day

he probably has lots of "IOUs" out there.

7. No doubt...

Plus, like the police cabal, they protect each other no matter what.

8. Exactly

It's that "blue wall of silence" thing.

[Think. Again.]

9. So his electronic devices have other evidence on them?

I don't think he'll be around much longer.

Kremlinated means he’ll never butt dial anyone for money again.

10. It's more than these attorneys couldn't fully and fairly represent their client.

If they continued to represent Giuliani without this evidence, they'd be subject to legal ethics charges by the NYS Bar Association and/or legal malpractice by Giuliani at a later date. Lose/Lose.

They had to get out.

13. In plain terms

what was on the devices was evidence and Ghouliani told them he was going to hide the evidence rather than produce it. So it is reasonable, given everything he's done to date, to infer the worst. That would mean that not only is asset information on the devices but also information about efforts to move and hide assets.

It is important to note that this didn't happen without other people being a part of helping him do so. Meaning others could be charged.

14. I'd like to charge Rudy for causing enormous ongoing stress

Too bad that isn't a law because Ruby Freeman and her daughter have had so much stress for quite a long time that it must have caused health problems. Of course, Rudy claims HE had stress.....it's all about him!

15. Rudy should be living in cardboard under a bridge! Take the MONEY

from that devious lying b--t--d! Quit screwing around in court!
