Giuliani says in deposition he 'didn't have the time' to verify election claims: CNN
The Hill ^ | 11/05/2021 | CAROLINE VAKIL

Posted on 11/05/2021 10:34:28 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rudy Giuliani, who served as Former President Trump's personal attorney, said during a deposition in mid-August that he “didn’t have the time” to look into whether reports of election fraud were credible, CNN, which obtained deposition tapes, reported Friday.

Giuliani is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems after he and other defendants connected to the former president repeatedly made claims, without evidence, that the 2020 election was rigged by Dominion Voting Systems in favor of Joe Biden.

“We had a report that the heads of Dominion and Smartmatic, somewhere in the mid-tweens, you know 2013, 2014, whatever, went down to Venezuela for a get-to-know meeting with [President Nicolás] Maduro so they could demonstrate to Maduro the kind of vote fixing they did for [former President Hugo] Chavez," Giuliani is shown saying during his deposition footage.

There's no context in which that statement sounds better. Rudy was a great prosecutor and a great mayor. I'm sure his heart is in the right place and his intentions are good, but in 2021 he's not doing anyone any good.

Moles and trolls were spreading those rumors, either for clicks or as deliberate information to make the pubs look like fools.

It is out of context. Due to timeline compliance that was working against him (he was virtually a one man team), he had to submit the affidavits he had, or they would be rejected.

There is no excuse for how poorly the Trump legal team performed. Beyond ridiculous, a total clown show.

Rudy was great back in the day, but seeing how little actual effort was put forth by the Trump administration to right the obvious wrongs makes me wonder.

“...repeatedly made claims, without evidence...”

The Hill rag did not care about evidence when Hillary Clinton accused Trump of stealing the election with help from Russia.

You see, when rats accuse someone of something it is immediately taken at face value.

The Hill “reporters” can go to hell. /spit.

You seem to have more contempt for the people trying to fight the steal than you have for the people who perpetrated the steal.

There was no Trump team. Unlike how the Ds fight voter theft, he took whomever was left standing. If you can show me *any* law firm who Trump turned down for assistance, I'll be happy to dig into your information.

We have to be aware that the misinformation plan was itself a core part of the steal. Its execution and the useful idiots who fell for it was the only way the actual steal was not exposed.

Well aren't you challenged in the grey matter department!?!

What evidence CNN presents doesn't not prove RG perjury and is completely plausible in the context of RG--as he says--not having time to do the hundreds or even thousands of hours research to flesh out the evidence of fraud himself, but RG was also familiar with election fraud research products of other capable, trustworthy people, whose results showed proof of election fraud beyond any reasonable doubt.

Real people don't respond to programming the way computers might be made to execute coding under Unix.

The attempted fight to correct the steal certainly seemed like the w yards were running it. It was a great fundraising operation, for sure.

We all kept hoping that someone would actually be forced to follow the laws, to no avail. Yeah, it was a forgone conclusion.

But look at the legal teams - were these the best and brightest that America has to offer in the legal field?

Nope, I'm not. Rudy may well be, based on his recent appearances and utterances. You? I'm not sure about your gray matter, but you're certainly proving some other things about yourself by becoming so butt-hurt over criticisms of another grown man. Grow up.

He was talking about fraud pertaining to the Dominion machines, not all of the election fraud evidence.

In Windham, NH the Dominion subsidiary machines undercounted the Republican nominee votes by about 300 - coming up with slightly different numbers each time they were put through the machines.
In the court case a witness, under oath, said that the folds on the mail in ballots were purposely put on the line where the democrat names were - knowing the machine would count the fold as a voting mark. Thus, ballots were cast out by the machine which were ‘double’ votes for that position. (A Republican vote was nullified by the crease in the paper making it an overvote.) They knew 4 months before election day that this was going to create problems.
How come Dominion did not NOTIFY states and local officials about this or were they complicit???

“Sometimes I go and look myself... This time I didn’t have the time to do it... It’s not my job, in a fast-moving case, to go out and investigate every piece of evidence that was given to me”

And yet...people here who called what he was doing a clown show..of which i was one....got castigated and were told Rudy wouldnt say things that were not true

btw was Powell the one who told him about:
“Giuliani said he’d heard that the heads of Dominion had met Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to demonstrate how they fixed votes for former President Hugo Chavez”

“CNN is probably taking the Mayor out of context.”

*****

Pull a couple of sentences out of his testimony and you can write a story that says his claims are baseless, or you can write a story that says the election was stolen and the United States as a constitutional republic ceases to exist.

Are his claims baseless? No. Was the election stolen? Yes. Does the United States as a constitutional republic still exist? To be determined.
