Georgia election workers' defamation suit against Giuliani goes to trial
ABC News ^ | December 11, 2023, 3:18 AM | Lucien Bruggeman

Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss described living in a perpetual state of fear after Rudy Giuliani targeted the two Georgia election workers with conspiracy-fueled lies in the wake of the 2020 election.

This week, a jury will tally the cost of those lies when Freeman and Moss' defamation suit against Giuliani goes to trial in Washington, D.C.

A federal judge has already found the former New York City mayor liable for defamatory comments he made about the mother and daughter. The trial, slated to begin Monday, will determine the full scope of the damages and any penalties he will have to pay. Freeman and Moss are seeking between $15.5 million and $43 million. ...

Giuliani, acting on behalf of former President Donald Trump, engaged in a sprawling misinformation campaign in late 2020 and early 2021 after Joe Biden secured the presidency, hopscotching across the country in search of evidence that the election was rigged. He never found it. But in the process, his unfounded claims about Freeman and Moss -- that they had manipulated ballots in Fulton County, Georgia -- prompted a deluge of threats that ultimately drove Freeman from her home.

...

During an appearance before the Georgia state legislature a month after the election, Giuliani told lawmakers that a video circulating online showed "Ruby Freeman and Shaye Freeman Moss ... quite obviously surreptitiously passing around USB ports, as if they're vials of heroin or cocaine." Freeman later said the video showed her handing ginger mint candies to Moss, who was experiencing stomach pain at the time. In the ensuing months, the women faced accusations online, by phone, and in person.

"I just got so sad," Freeman told ABC News last year. "How dare you compare us to drug dealers? Oh, I was done." ...

Just another example of lawfare to deny Americans of our rights to seek redress from government.

So many idiots on this form are so into the war that as long as there’s a war going on anywhere they don’t care about government despotism. The neocons and Zeeper crowd anre either government propagandists or violent idiots.

The whole Trump election protest right after the election was a clown show. Krackens, German server raid, election packets going to Venuzula, even Rudy’s dripping hair dye. It was embarrassing.

“targeted the two Georgia election workers with conspiracy-fueled lies”

“Giuliani, acting on behalf of former President Donald Trump, engaged in a sprawling misinformation campaign in late 2020 and early 2021”

I’m so glad the writer is fair.

“”According to Freeman and Moss’ legal team, the range of $15.5 million to $43 million cited in court papers includes costs associated with Moss’ loss of work and her “need to secure and relocate from her home.””

WOW! She (they) must have had super jobs to account for that kind of loss. Where did she (they) relocate to?

If you’re going to go - GO BIG, gals!

Good lesson for Giuliani to keep his mouth shut! He should have learned that years ago.

This article doesn’t mention the election night surveillance video showing Ruby, Shaye, and others pulling cases of ballots hidden under tables and counting them multiple times after the required election observers were sent home for the night.

Maybe you should keep your mouth shut until you have something to say that doesn't make you look like a moron. Just a thought.

What BS. First these two participate in The Steal, then they seek to get paid for it. Paid more for it (as I'm sure they had remuneration for their original fraud).

Ruby came up with this excuse a year and a half after the election for a congressional hearing. I wonder how long they had to look to find Gingerbon candy since it is one of very few that resemble a USB port.

“I’m sorry, your honor. I should have said they were surreptitiously passing around ginger mints, as if they’re vials of heroin or cocaine. I didn’t expect someone needed to be so secretive about an upset stomach.”

Here's the basic template the marxist/globalist Left has used to obliterate our Representative Republic in record time: Lie, cheat and steal your way to getting what you want. Do that in a blatant, in your face, F.U. sort of way. Gauge the reaction to your travesty. If it's minimal, carry the nefarious activity to completion.

If a few brave souls try calling you out on your play immediately accuse them of having done precisely what you actually did. Then screech at them, prosecute them, dox them, slander them, imprison them, sic the FedGov on them. Utterly ruin them. Rinse and repeat.

The sheep will then cower and freeze in fear (Don't dare go to that protest! It's a setup!) even as the yoke of slavery is tightened around their necks. Sickening.
