Disgraced former mayor, lawyer and lackey Rudy Giuliani drove to his polling place this Election Day within the Mercedes-Benz 500SL previously owned by actress Lauren Bacall. It’s the exact same automobile he was imagined to have turned over as damages to the Georgia election employees he grievously wronged, however as a substitute he hid the automobile someplace in Florida.
We’ve stored an in depth eye on the story of Bacall’s R107 Benz, as a result of with a man like Rudy Giuliani it was certain to get bizarre. And bizarre it obtained. Rudy was driving shotgun when he pulled up within the Benz to a polling place in Palm Seashore, Florida, Tuesday afternoon. It’s the identical Mercedes that Decide Liman ordered Giuliani flip over to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who needed to flee their houses and suffered harassment following Giuliani repeatedly and publicly defaming the election employees.
Giuliani additionally needed to hand over lots of his New York possessions, in addition to his high-rise Manhattan residence, to be able to met the $148 million settlement with Freeman and Moss. Nevertheless, when the ladies took possession of the $5 million residence, they discovered it striped naked of something invaluable.
Freeman and Moss are clearly not taking this mendacity down and Giuliani will likely be in entrance of a choose over the matter this week. From the Guardian:
Giuliani, sporting a New York hearth division hat and stars-and-stripes shirt, was pictured arriving on the polling website in Palm Seashore on Tuesday within the passenger seat of the Mercedes SL500. He spoke to reporters however had no remark in regards to the settlement.
Caruso, in a court docket submitting final week, denied Giuliani was being obstructive. “[He] is, and can stay, able to comply” with Liman’s order, Caruso stated – however claimed that Giuliani, who filed for chapter final yr, had not obtained details about find out how to ship it, the Hill reported.
Nathan stated that declare was “deceptive”.
Giuliani’s spokesperson Ted Goodman, in the meantime, informed the Hill in an announcement that he “has made obtainable his property and possessions as ordered” and that he had put a “few gadgets” into storage over the previous yr.
The rest that was eliminated was associated to Giuliani’s nightly livestreams, Goodman claimed, asserting it was subsequently exterior the settlement. A separate lawsuit over Giuliani’s Palm Seashore residence is ongoing.
“Opposing counsel, performing both negligently or intentionally in a misleading method, are merely trying to additional bully and intimidate mayor Giuliani till he’s rendered penniless and homeless,” Goodman stated.
“That is simply one other method that they’ve weaponized our once-sacred justice system. It ought to concern each American.”
Ah, the celebration of private accountability. Giuliani defamed Freeman and Moss throughout his feverish seek for dishonest throughout the 2020 election. The civically minded mother-daughter duo have been accused by Giuliani of tampering with votes, resulting in Trump’s election loss.
Displaying as much as vote for (we will safely assume) the identical man that you just attacked harmless individuals for, within the automobile he was supposed to show over to these harmless individuals, is only a notably petty fuck you from Giuliani.
