Summary

Rudy Giuliani sought to attend a contempt hearing remotely, citing health issues and death threats, but later withdrew the request after being required to swear he couldn’t travel for 30 days, including to Trump’s inauguration.

Giuliani argued he “probably shouldn’t” travel due to medical and security risks but emphasized the inauguration’s importance.

The hearing stems from Giuliani’s alleged defamation of election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, despite prior court orders.

Giuliani faces mounting legal troubles, including contempt rulings and a $148 million defamation judgment.

      nah, Trump did that for years, but he just keeps talking just fine. In fact he usually begs for more

    Funny how contempt is so poorly defined in law.

    “for the inauguration of President Trump, which will be a once-in-a-lifetime event”

    He says for the event that is happening for the second time.

      He’s not wrong, though. The first time Trump was getting sworn in as a President. This time he’s getting sworn in as a dictator.

      Regarding the court appearance, does that mean he intends to not have it a once in a lifetime event and commit more crime?

      Worked for Cena vs Rock in the 2010s. The first Wrestlemania match was billed as once in a lifetime.

      They did it three times. And they planned for it to ALWAYS be three from the innitial stages of planning.

      Which means they FULLY could have billed the first match as literally anything else.

      Now, you may be wondering what this has to do with trump. Well keep in mind that vince mcmahon was trumps single highest donor by far. It’s been said that vince single handedly paid for trumps first presidency. And now his wife is head of small business under trumps cabinet.

      My point here is that trump and his cronies are a bunch of carney scam artists. And he surrounds himself with carney scam artists.

      So for rudy to say once in a lifetime, knowing damn sure well it isn’t? That’s par for the coarse.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but unless you’re the president-elect or the person swearing them in, a presidential inauguration is just a meeting that could have been an email.

      They won’t, he’s a wealthy Republican and therefore allowed to just ignore the law

          To be fair, even with zero net worth (i.e. assuming he eventually is successful in discharging his debt), he’s still wealthier than like 10% of Americans.

      It pays to have rich friends.

      Or rather, to know where the assholes burried the bodies.

    He’s a ghoul, and deserves the worst.

    That said, attending an inauguration is absolutely less stressful than being prosecuted.
