At the hearing, Giuliani refused to swear under oath, earning the ire of state Rep. Cynthia Johnson, D-Detroit. "You're allowing people to come here and lie," Johnson told Committee Chair Matt Hall, R-Marshall, according to Michigan Advance.
Anyone know about this?
Giuliani didn’t refuse. The committee chairman said that the Mich legislature doesn’t swear in witnesses. The Democrat was making a stunt.
It was a hearing and he was the lawyer not a witness. Lawyers don’t even take an oath when arguing in the courts.
As far as the witnesses, they all have signed affidavits which is the same as an oath, and they can go to jail if they lie on an affidavit
The Presidents lawyers cannot become witnesses and testify in their own case.
Those are the rules
Basic trial law.
The POS Democrats are fully aware of this
Rudy is not claiming voter fraud (that is difficult to prove). He is claiming election laws were broken. There is a difference.
If poll watchers are not allowed to inspect ballots then that is a violation of the law, period, full stop. We saw many numerous occasions (on video) where GOP reps were denied access to ballot inspection. They were kicked out of the precincts.
(Someone just asked me why the President’s lawyers refuse to swear under oath that there was fraud. So I went looking and found this:)
Giuliani was there as a representative of the president, his lawyer. Lawyers do not swear under oath. The people stating what they saw had already given sworn testimony âÂÂunder oathâÂÂ. They were only retelling what they had already sworn to as witnesses. Rudy did not give testimony as he witnessed nothing first hand and was not a witness. These hearings are not trials. The sworn under oath testimony is already on record and was before each committee member to read. Rep Johnson made Maxine Waters look like a brain surgeon.
