“They are suing me in order to lie to them. I’m sorry, I can’t do it,” he said.
Rudy Giuliani doubled down on his election-related allegations Monday, just days after two Georgia election workers won millions in a defamation lawsuit against him and hours after they filed another suit against him.
The former New York mayor must pay $148 million in damages to election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss as a result of their emotional distress following Giuliani’s accusations that the two were manipulating ballots in 2020. The second lawsuit sought to keep him from repeating the debunked claims at the heart of the first case.
In a rambling interview with Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt, Giuliani blasted the verdict, describing the court as a “fascist system run by the Biden regime.”
Giuliani told Schmitt that he still believes the allegations to be true, but that they “want me to lie.”
Do any of us believe said evidence exists?
In the context of this particular case, I’m not sure this type strategy is actually relevant. How many cases that were filled after that election got dismissed with prejudice for failing to provide any actual evidence? It didn’t exist then, it doesn’t exist now.
I personally don’t because of the pattern of behavior in the Trump orbit…
“We sent the best investigators to Hawaii and you just wait until you see what they uncovered at our big press conference next Tuesday!”
(Next Tuesday) “Crickets.”
“Yeah, well, we sent Rudy Giuliani to Ukraine and you just wait until you see what he uncovered at our big press conference next Tuesday!”
(Next Tuesday) “Crickets.”
“Yeah, well, we sent the Cyber Ninjas to Arizona and you just wait until you see what they uncovered at our big press conference next Tuesday!”

That last one actually did come back with a report - that said little to no fraud took place. They spent millions of dollars and used some shady practices with the ballots, but even they couldn’t find anything.
