Rudy in full whine mode about Dominion lawsuit.

https://www.rawstory.com/rudy-giuliani-dominion-lawsuit/

Attorney Rudy Giuliani fired back on Monday after he was hit with a Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit that seeks $1.3 billion in damages.

Giuliani responded in a statement later on Monday.

"Dominion's defamation lawsuit for $1.3B will allow me to investigate their history, finances and practices fully and completely," the statement said. "The amount being asked for is, quite obviously, intended to frighten people of faint heart."

According to Giuliani, the lawsuit "is another act of intimidation by the hate-filled left-wing to wipe out and censor the exercise of free speech, as well as the ability of lawyers to defend clients vigorously."

The statement added: "As such, we will investigate a countersuit against them for violating these Constitutional rights."


Eh, Rudy you don't have a Constitutional right to slander people.

3. Question:

When he was "firing back" - were there dark streams of 'something' running down the sides of his face? THAT could perhaps be considered an indicator of how serious he is about this 'investigation of a countersuit.'

4. Oh, cry me a river, you ghoul. You bought this all on yourself, by pushing a false narrative

about this company's machines which was totally false. You deserve to lose every cent that you have, in falsely claiming that the voting machines were defective, adding incorrectly, adding extra votes to a candidate, etc. All sorts of nonsense. And what's really good about this lawsuit, Dominion will simply point to the numerous public statements you made in public falsely implying issues w/ the voting machines, when there was none. Thus, w/ your reckless disregard for the truth, you damaged the reputation of a company willingly. You deserve every punishment possible.

when it gets to court not so much. I'm just hoping they don't settle out of court.

Dominion adhered to whatever was required of it by the various states using their machines - whether Rudy likes that or not. Rudy has no standing to start digging into Dominion's records. He has to prove what he said was true - which he can't because it isn't true. He has to establish that it wasn't careless or malicious and he's going to have a tough time with that when he repeated it 50 plus times but wouldn't say such a thing to a court - so he knew it was bogus.

This case is not going to trial. Maybe Rudy can rent a room from Trump wherever Trump goes so Trump cannot be extradited.

In no world is a private corporation manufacturing election software and voting machines suing a private citizen for public slander and libel an "act of intimidation by the hate-filled left-wing...to censor free speech."

No government is silencing your political opinion Rudy. That's why we have to hear about it.

No one is preventing him from obtaining a lawyer to defend him.

No one has the right to fabricate election fraud and incite insurrection against the US Government.

Read the Constitution, Rudy.

This is the Invisible Hand of the Free Market and Consequences Culture.
They're going together steady in 2021.

10. Rudy Rudy RUDY: You went to Court and lost over 60 over times

And Why is that?

Because the Judge asked you if you were stating there was election fraud and you said NO Your Honor.

Keep digging Rudy, you'll eventually make it to china or at least a nice hole to bury your sorry self.
