This is separate from Rudy’s criminal trial with Trump, this was a civil trial between him and the election workers, where Rudy admitted that he lied about them.

    The only thing about this whole scenario I dislike is how much time elapsed between “fuck around” and “find out”. But it’s good to see justice catching up with that shitbag.

    Unfortunately, no matter what ends up happening, it still will never fully make right what those poor election workers went through and are still going through.

      Unfortunately you are right. That said, if we get enough punitive damages to deter a second guiliani, we have done a whole lot already. Let it never happen again.

        Criminals aren’t deterred by consequences, because they never expect them. Criminals commit crimes when they think they can get away with it, and unfortunately many of them do.

        I am enjoying watching Giuliani suffer, but that doesn’t mean it’s justice, or that the system is working. No amount of money can atone for his crimes, and no prison sentence will change our legal system into something closer to fair.

      That time is literally just justice occurring. In general, you should be wary of a very fast trial
