But here’s something even worse. It turns out that Giuliani couldn’t comply with significant parts (or all?) of the discovery request because the material demanded wasn’t in his care, custody, or control (those are legal terms of art). And why wasn’t it in his care, custody, or control? Because the FBI confiscated much of it.

Can Giuliani appeal this travesty of a decision?

I saw one commentator claim that Rudi wouldn't be able to file an appeal unless he first posted a bond to cover the whole judgement, which given its size, he probably wouldn't be able to raise enough funds. Allegedly it's possible a judge could wave that requirement. But if the requirement is so — I'm no lawyer and don't know if that commentator's claim is correct — given the overall performance of judges in any remotely anti-MAGA cases I wouldn't be optimistic to have anything anti-Rudi waived.

MSM has been harping that Rudi was 'proved' wrong, that all that we'd thought we'd seen when the overnight GA vote counting actions of Rudi's 'trial' winners, had innocent explanations. The small,not clearly seen, items transferred weren't flash drives but mints. The same stacks of votes weren't repeatedly fed thru the vote counting machines, contrary to what a lot of irate video viewers at the time thought. Supposedly GA investigators proved their innocence. Not that I can tell Rudy ever got a chance to cross examine the investigators regarding their alleged evidence. And it had long 'seemed' that GA SOS, AG and Gov, albeit being registered republicans, weren't acting like partisan republicans might be expected to help regarding any election problem GOP complaints. Which might engender suspicion over any GA investigation of such matters. Also this report from Friday (bulk of the info is in a 40 minute audio interview) claims Gov. Kemp's lawyers are now admitting that at the chap, Rossi, interviewed had presented evidence showing 17k+ invalid votes from just Fulton county. Which IIRC was more than Biden's statewide margin of victory. And Rossi, in the interview, said his data DID suggest votes had been scanned repeatedly, contrary to that GA investigation. Rossi claims three times GA has tried to cover up his findings. But the GA legislature gets another look at them.
