DESTROY HIM! He deserves every second of this hell of his own making.

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered former Donald Trump attorney and New York mayor Rudy Giuliani to turn over all his valuable possessions and his Manhattan penthouse apartment to the control of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the Georgia election workers he defamed and to whom he now owes $150 million. Judge Lewis Liman of the federal court in Manhattan said Giuliani must turn over his interest in the property to the women in seven days, to a receivership they will control. The judge’s turnover order of the luxury items is swift and simple, but the penthouse apartment will have its control transferred so Freeman and Moss can sell it, potentially for millions of dollars. The women, who counted Georgia ballots after the 2020 election, will also be entitled to about $2 million in legal fees Giuliani has said the Trump campaign still owes him, the judge ruled. In addition to the Trump campaign fees and the New York apartment, Giuliani must also turn over a collection of several watches, including ones given to him by European presidents after the September 11, 2001, attacks; a signed Joe DiMaggio jersey and other sports memorabilia; and a 1980 Mercedes once owned by the Hollywood star Lauren Bacall. Additionally, the judge ordered that Giuliani turn over his television, items of furniture, his television and jewelry. Liman hasn’t yet decided if Giuliani will be able to keep a Palm Beach, Florida, condominium he also owns, or the four New York Yankees World Series rings he has, which Giuliani’s son contends his father gave him.

Donald Trump charged in Georgia for efforts to overturn the 2020 election

"Former president Donald Trump and 18 others were criminally charged in Georgia on Monday in connection with efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in the state, according to an indictment made public late Monday night [on August 14, 2023].

Trump was charged with 13 counts, including violating the state’s racketeering act, soliciting a public officer to violate their oath, conspiring to impersonate a public officer, conspiring to commit forgery in the first degree and conspiring to file false documents.

The Recap

The historic indictment, the fourth to implicate the former president, follows a 2½-year investigation by Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis (D). The probe was launched after audio leaked from a January 2021 phone call during which Trump urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) to question the validity of thousands of ballots, especially in the heavily Democratic Atlanta area, and said he wanted to “find” the votes to erase his 2020 loss in the state.

Willis’s investigation quickly expanded to other alleged efforts by Trumpor his supporters, including trying to thwart the electoral college process, harassing election workers, spreading false information about the voting process in Georgia and compromising election equipment in a rural county. Trump has long decried the Georgia investigation as a “political witch hunt,” defending his calls to Raffensperger and others as “perfect.”

The Details

“Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump,” the indictment states.

A total of 41 charges are brought against 19 defendants in the 98-page indictment. Not all face the same counts, but all have been charged with violating the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Willis said she has given those charged until Aug. 25 to surrender.

Among those charged are Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who served as Trump’s personal attorney after the election; Trump’s former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows; and several Trump advisers, including attorneys John Eastman, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro...

Prosecutors brought charges around five subject areas: false statements by Trump allies, including Giuliani, to the Georgia legislature; the breach of voting data in Coffee County; calls Trump made to state officials, including Raffensperger, seeking to overturn Biden’s victory; the harassment of election workers; and the creation of a slate of alternate electors to undermine the legitimate vote. Those charged in the case were implicated in certain parts of what prosecutors presented as a larger enterprise to undermine the election."

Rudy Giuliani was racist on live television.

“usamericans are so annoying they think everything’s about them and if it’s not they try to make it about themselves blah blah blah” okay and? one thing about me i love to talk about me. now who wants a FREEDOM BURGER RAHHH 🦅🦅🦅🦅

The idea of both Trump and Rudy being denied bail, though.

I mean, that's something, isn't it? That's really something.

Does anybody ever just randomly remember the four seasons landscaping press conference? Like that happened and it was glorious and hilarious and absolutely absurd and we were allowed to see it in real time. #blessed

"As Rudy Giuliani's daughter, I'm unfortunately well-suited to remind Americans of just how calamitous being associated with Trump can be, even for those who are convinced he's on their side. Watching my dad's life crumble since he joined forces with Trump has been extraordinarily painful, both on a personal level and because his demise feels linked to a dark force that threatens to once again consume America. Not to disregard individual accountability in the slightest, but it would be naive for us to ignore the fact that many of those closest to Trump have descended into catastrophic downward spirals. If we let Trump back into the driver's seat this fall, our country will be no exception.

Even though the last few years have been some of the most difficult of my life on a personal level, I'm grateful to live in a country that came together once before to fire a burgeoning tyrant. Watching Harris reignite the torch that Biden selflessly passed to her has filled me with optimism and pride. She has the experience, intelligence, and fortitude to lead us to a brighter future, and seeing her hold Trump accountable in the debate only further confirms her ability to defend us from our most dangerous enemies, domestic and foreign. But even with all the incredible momentum the Harris/Walz ticket has generated, we still have to work hard to ensure a victory for our future."

Here’s the verdict in the Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss v. Rudy Giuliani trial:

Defamation Claim-

Moss: $16,998,000

Freeman: $16,171,000

Intentional Infliction Emotional Distress Claim-

Moss: $20 million

Freeman: $20 million

Punitive Damages-

Total: $75 million

Right now, an unrepentant Giuliani is telling the media he did nothing wrong. He assails the judge and complains about not being able to put forth a defense.

Giuliani is now shushing the reporters. 🙄

Shaye Moss is reading a prepared statement to the media. She says she hopes no one has to fight so hard to get their name back.

Now, Lady Ruby speaks. She says "today is a good day" because a jury has held Rudy Giuliani accountable. There is still work to do. Giuliani wasn't the only one who spread lies about us.

Freeman: "Money will never solve all of my problems. I can never move back into the house I called 'home.' I always have to be careful about where I go and who I choose to share my name with. I miss my home. I miss my neighbors. And I miss my name."

"God chose me to go through this. I am strong and my faith shall never waver. Faith is what carried us through the most difficult years of my life and faith will carry you through hardships you face in your life. The Devil is a liar and he is defeated."

"Right makes might. Because it does."

Donald Trump has always sucked. Rudy Giuliani has always sucked.

I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
