Among the most egregious of the many broken promises of Donald Trump’s torturous one-term tenancy in the White House was his predictably improbable claim that he would always hire “the best people.”<\/em> And Trump himself has been the best witness to the absurdity of that pledge.

\"Rudy<\/p>\n

That list includes Trump’s cabinet secretaries, his chief of staff, generals and other Pentagon officials, and legal representatives. Which brings us to his long time lawyer, the “apparently inebriated<\/a><\/strong>“<\/em> Rudy Giuliani. Since heading up Trump’s legal team, Giuliani has lost more than sixty cases related to Trump’s “Big Lie”<\/em> that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged”<\/em> and “stolen”<\/em> from him. He has also lost his license to practice law in New York<\/a><\/strong>, and is being investigated in Washington, D.C. His relentless and unabashed lies even got him banned on Fox News.<\/p>\n

Giuliani has also been named in a couple of multibillion dollar lawsuits filed by election services companies that were defamed by Trump associates and Trump-fluffing media. One of the suits was filed by Dominion Voting Systems<\/a><\/strong> for $1.6 billion. The other one was filed by Smartmatic Software<\/a><\/strong> for $2.7 billion. Both explicitly cite Giuliani as a named defendant, along with Fox News and other individuals.<\/p>\n

Now Giuliani is fighting back with a countersuit against Smartmatic. Reuters is reporting<\/a><\/strong> that…<\/p>\n

“Rudolph Giuliani has sued Smartmatic to recoup legal fees as he defends against its $2.7 billion lawsuit accusing him, Fox News Network and others of falsely claiming that the company helped rig the 2020 U.S. presidential election so Joe Biden would defeat Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

“In a counterclaim filed late Monday in a New York state court in Manhattan, Giuliani said the voting machine company’s defamation lawsuit, which he characterized as baseless, interfered with his constitutional right to speak freely on issues of public concern.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Considering the fact that Smartmatic’s suit contains an abundance of documentary evidence to prove their claims against Giuliani and the his co-defendants, it’s hard to imagine on what grounds he is basing his complaint. Giuliani’s defamatory statements were made on national television programs where he unleashed bizarre and baseless charges asserting that Smartmatic was “formed by people close to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his late predecessor Hugo Chavez, and founded ‘for the specific purpose of fixing elections.'”<\/em> Then again, almost all of his charges are bizarre and baseless.<\/p>\n

Giuliani is also asserting that his First Amendment rights are being infringed upon. But the First Amendment doesn’t shield speech that is false and defamatory. And any honest and competent lawyer would know that. Which, of course, leaves Giuliani out. The only thing he will accomplish with this suit is to bring more attention to his pathetic ineptitude, as well as the guilt of his client, Donald Trump. So bring it on, Rudy, and pass the popcorn.<\/p>\n
