Rudy Giuliani Files For Bankruptcy In Wake Of $148 Million Judgment | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed for bankruptcy on Thursday in the Southern District of New York, less than one full week after he was ordered to pay $148 million to defamed Georgia poll workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, Moss' mother.

    According to a Bloomberg News report on the filing, Giuliani - who served for some time as attorney to former President Donald Trump - claimed to have just $10 million in assets and up to $500 million in outstanding debt.

    Giuliani's bankruptcy attorneys, Heath Berger and Gary Fischoff, released a statement on Thursday saying that the Chapter 11 protections would give the former mayor the necessary time and breathing room to pursue an appeal in the Georgia case.

    "The filing should be a surprise to no one. No person could have reasonably believed that Mayor Giuliani would be able to pay such a high punitive amount," they said.

    Last Friday, after Judge Beryl A. Howell of the Federal District Court in Washington determined that Giuliani had defamed Moss and Freeman in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, a Washington, D.C., jury ordered the former Trump attorney to pay out nearly $150 million:

• $16,171,000 to Ruby Freeman for defamation.
• $16,998,000 to Shaye Moss for defamation.
• $20 million to Freeman for emotional distress.
• $20 million to Moss for emotional distress.
• $75 million in punitive damages to both plaintiffs.

    Giuliani called the ruling "absurd" and promised an immediate appeal, adding, "I don't regret a damn thing."


    His attorney in the Georgia case, Joe Sibley, said that if future appeals failed, that judgment was enough to ruin his client financially: "the civil equivalent of the death penalty."

    Giuliani still faces additional charges in Georgia - for racketeering and conspiracy - and is also being sued for defamation by both Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic Corp., both of which he had claimed were part of "rigging" the 2020 presidential election in favor of President Joe Biden.

Considering what real news is available for all to witness, and in great specificity, should one pursue what is true outside of the channeled realm of the corrupt corporate /legacy media, and: Is Institutionalized Corruption real, and is it a hindrance to sustaining our Constitutional Republic now, and for future generations of American citizens?

  Yes

  No

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.

Considering the current overwhelming obstacles inflicting stress upon America's working class: rampant inflation; energy insecurity; supply chain turmoil; banking failures; foreign policy disasters; government corruption; (DEI) Diversity Equity Inclusion narrative, with WOKE extremes practiced; Climate Change ideology; intractable crime wave in Leftist cities; wide open border by executive design; a permanently discredited Legacy Media; failed or failing education industry, just to name a few of the many: Who should Americans blame?

  Donald J. Trump

  Joseph R. Biden

  Leftist controlled Congress for the last 4 years.

  Bloated, incompetent bureaucracy weaponized and poorly managed

  The electorate, US, for putting these fools in elected office that utterly fail

Do you consider Election Integrity an issue of some real importance, or just another conspiracy theory interfering with Democratic Socialist political hegemony?

  No, complete access to everyone voting, even in a willy nilly manner, is more important than getting it right by limiting access to those that would commit Voter Fraud.

  Yes, the most inalienable right of real citizens of this Democratic Republic is the Right to Vote, and that right shall remain sacrosanct for perpetuity.

  Again, I don't vote and I don't care.
