Ex-attorney Rudy Giuliani’s trial against the Georgia election workers he’s been forced to turn over his assets to has been called off after the two sides reached a settlement that the parties say allows Giuliani to keep his personal belongings , after a trial over several of the former mayor’s assets was slated to begin Thursday but was postponed after Giuliani never showed up to court.
Freeman and Moss similarly said they “agreed to allow Mr. Giuliani to retain his property in exchange for compensation and his promise not to ever defame us,” without specifying how much they will receive in compensation from Giuliani if the settlement goes through.
While the court had already ordered Giuliani to turn over most of his assets—including his New York City apartment, Mercedes-Benz and sports memorabilia—there was still a dispute over whether he has to turn over his Florida condominium and his World Series rings, which were the subject of a trial that was slated to begin Thursday.
The trial over the dispute was scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. EST on Thursday, but Giuliani never arrived in court, and the court adjourned the trial until Tuesday morning, without the court or Giuliani’s spokesperson Ted Goodman commenting at all on the former mayor’s absence.

With the agreement, they said, “we can now move forward with our lives.”
Giuliani said in a statement posted on social media and read to reporters by his lawyer that the settlement satisfies the judgment against him but “does not involve an admission of liability or wrongdoing.”
“I am satisfied with and have no grievances relating to the result we have reached,” Giuliani said, adding that it allowed him to retain his Manhattan apartment and Florida condominium, as well as all of his personal belongings.

The most evil people who have ever lived weaponized our legal system to destroy a man who took down the mob in the US AND exposed industrial scale voter fraud. What shit cowards we have as judges and attorneys in our country. We must do better or we will all be destroyed... and if we don’t do something about it... we deserve to be destroyed.
This really bothers me. There were people who led Rudy on.
I believe in part, the noise about servers in Germany and vote flipping and what not was allowed to spin everyone up to avoid focusing on the real problem - which was ballot harvesting.
I saw those election counters. They don’t appear smart enough to do anything but sit there and just push paper through.
Of course, Georgia didn’t help things at all and the problems the Georgia elections offices had, with some Georgia Republicans, they provided little confidence.
How Does The Settlement Affect Giuliani Being Held In Contempt?
In addition to the dispute over his assets, Giuliani also faced two instances of being held in contempt of court as part of his litigation against the Georgia election workers. He was held in contempt last week in the New York case for failing to turn over assets to Freeman and Moss, though U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman has not yet imposed any sanctions on Giuliani for contempt.
The judge scheduled a hearing on the matter for January 29, which Giuliani and the plaintiffs said should be postponed until February, or dropped if the conditions of the settlement are met. Their settlement suggests the issue will be dropped, assuming the settlement is approved, though Liman still has to rule on their request to have the matter thrown out.
The former New York City mayor was also then separately held in contempt for a second time last week in his other case against the Georgia election workers—the original defamation dispute, rather than the separate court proceedings over his assets—because the court found he continued to defame the plaintiffs despite a court order forbidding him from doing so. The ligitants’ suggestion Thursday that their settlement will “result in the conclusion of all litigation currently pending between and among the Parties” makes it likely the settlement would also nullify that dispute as well.
How much did those two Goons & their greedy lawyer settle for? For Rudy’s sake, I hope the storm really is over.
They're smart enough to feed the same ballots through the machines repeatedly to get count multiple times the votes they like.
DAMN STRAIGHT !!
-fJRoberts-
sounds like Rudy won and the grifters from GA caved to me.
i guess the pressure of Trump and jan 20 got them.

The tentative settlement effectively marks the beginning of an end to the defamation case, which has dragged on for more than a year due to Giuliani’s bankruptcy filing and subsequent refusal to comply with court orders.
“The past four years have been a living nightmare. We have fought to clear our names, restore our reputations, and prove that we did nothing wrong,” they said in a statement. “We have agreed to allow Mr. Giuliani to retain his property in exchange for compensation and his promise not to ever defame us.”
Freeman and Moss called the agreement a “major milestone” that will enable them to move forward with their lives.
Giuliani said he is “satisfied” with the deal in a statement posted on X, adding that it “does not involve an admission of liability or wrongdoing by any of the Parties.”
“I have been able to retain my New York coop and Florida Condominium and all of my personal belongings,” he added.
The election workers and their co-conspirators (including judge and attorneys) should be hit with RICO action for fraud in a federal election.
“. . . which has dragged on for more than a year . . .”
That is not much time on a case of national interest.
I saw a case over four strands of barbed wire go on for three years.
If Rudy has to sacrifice a portion of his free speech as an American, it’s well worth the price just to be done with this vulgar and unwarranted torture of an elder statesman.
Rudy is an experienced politician, therefore he is good with words and faux diplomacy. There are plenty of ways to make his feelings known about those two without incriminating himself.
Yes, that includes Dr Frank and Dr Shiva taking out the pillow guy, and the Venezuelan "whistle blower" who punked Sidney Powell. Most of that stuff was a distraction, maybe entertainment for some. Part of it was a warning to not mess with the deep state or end up on food stamps.
But like you said, mainly a distraction from the harvesting of all kinds of ballots from unknown sources, lack of signature checking or auditing of that (Fulton county), etc.
We have a shitty, dysfunctional legal system.
Yes, they were smart enough to push the exact same stack of ballots through the counting machine over and over and over again. I saw it on video. She did that.
Absolute election fraud and proven.
They're smart enough to feed the same ballots through the machines repeatedly to get count multiple times the votes they like.
