    Howell’s ruling against Giuliani was by a default judgment, as the judge found that he had failed to comply with a number of subpoenas, particularly those pertaining to the lawsuit’s discovery phase.

      But Alex Jones doesn’t have a law degree. That’s what makes this especially baffling. He didn’t do the most basic thing you can do in a lawsuit.

        Friendly reminder that the whole theory behind default judgements, is that the court has to assume you did it to hide something at least as bad as what you’re accused of.

        Or maybe he’s just a senile wacko who’s had his ego stroked way too much in his life. 9/11

          I really am baffled. Even if he’s senile, doesn’t he have staff?

            He’s probably not able to pay them, so I guess they ain’t particularly eager to do anything.

      Remember that he’s evil, not stupid, and he’s capable of making decisions that serve his interests. If he just flat out defied a subpoena it’s because the consequences of complying with the subpoena would have been worse.

        Evil people who are not also stupid, don’t hitch their wagons to Trump’s star.

          Wasnt until recently that became an objectively bad idea. I honestly think that if he didn’t loudly and purposely fumble COVID we’d already have president-for-life Trump

        Yep. He didn’t comply with discovery. He is hiding something. I bet we find anyway soon.

        I think given the extent to which he has pickled his brain, Giuliani may well be stupid as well now.
