Rudolph W. Giuliani, the lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and a central figure in the investigation into election interference in Georgia, has been telling prosecutors that he cannot travel to the state to appear before a special grand jury because he is not healthy enough to fly.
But on Tuesday, a judge in Fulton County, Ga., said that Mr. Giuliani, who had two coronary heart stents implanted in early July, could travel from New York to Atlanta some other way, and tentatively ordered him to show up to deliver in-person testimony on Aug. 17.
“Mr. Giuliani is not cleared for air travel, A-I-R,” Judge Robert C.I. McBurney of Fulton County Superior Court said. “John Madden drove all over the country in his big bus, from stadium to stadium. So one thing we need to explore is whether Mr. Giuliani could get here without jeopardizing his recovery and his health. On a train, on a bus or Uber, or whatever it would be,” he said, adding, “New York is not close to Atlanta, but it’s not traveling from Fairbanks.”
In a hearing on Tuesday afternoon, the judge also told prosecutors they should let Mr. Giuliani, 78, know whether he was a target of the criminal probe. The office of Fani T. Willis, the Atlanta-area district attorney, has already told at least 17 other people, including a pair of state senators and the head of the state Republican Party, that they are targets...

This certainly could not be good for a recent heart patient either, but what really got me was the cruel, sneering tone of the judge.
The process is the punishment.
fixed it.
Everyone around Trump is going through or will be going through crap like this.
“coronary heart stents “
Use of “heart” is superfluous.
People need to start telling these Judges to stick it..
I didn’t write it, just posted it. Tell the copy editor at the NYT.
Absolutely. Anybody who thought they might back off after enraging people with the raid at MAL needs to think again.
That was just the start, and they’re on a roll.
I hope Rudy gets healthy.
Well, what if they were talking about artichoke heart stents?
When will the right start doing this to the left?
We will never win a civil war as the left fights without honor. While the right will be afraid to lose their VA benefits and military retirement.
Appeal this lowlife Judge’s decision to a higher court. Picket his house. Irony is if Giuliani had not been so successful prosecuting the Mafia, those boys would have never allowed some cracker judge to disrespect a prominent Italian-American.
It’s a roll that’s got a plan. Take the people and jail them. Then the politicians. Something will break. To many politicians have dirt on each other. They do something and take the temperature to see how it’s working or if it is. So far it’s pushing people towards Trump and the movement. They need something devastating. They are not going to report anything on dems through the media.. People are watching..
The killing spree of Trump supporters has begun now. Examples must be made.
Smear your face in Covid snot a few days before the scheduled travel. Use your enemies own power against him.
Vote Kemp out.
Kemp must lose.
I would LOVE to see what would happen if hundreds of protesters showed up at THIS judges home it would be interesting to see what Garland would do with the shoe on the other foot!!!
This isn’t Kemp’s doing.
They’d all be in jail, in solitary, for the rest of their lives.
True, not great.
But honestly, getting on a train isn’t that stressful. Biggest trouble would be DC itself and the likely transfer - but that’s basically all on the same platform.
