“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.”
Giuliani claims it’s bulletproof, completely exonerating evidence. So they couldn’t poke holes in it. If such evidence was made public, the prosecution would back down rather than run a hopeless case against him. Of course, we know that he has nothing, as noted.
No prosecution backs down like that, again, trials don’t work that way.
If they have already initiated the case, Sure. They’d evaluate the evidence in court. If they hadn’t, no, they could decide to not bring charges if it seemed like it would be a waste of time and/or they’d be censured for a frivolous case.
We’re talking about the Georgia election interference, so yes, the criminal case is already initiated. :)
We’re also talking about some purely hypothetical world where Giuliani has ‘evidence’.
