Georgia election workers defamed by Rudy Giuliani are now asking for him to be slapped with “severe sanctions” for allegedly violating several court orders and repeatedly flouting his discovery obligations.

On Thursday, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss filed a 22-page motion asking U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman to hold the former New York City mayor in civil contempt and harshly punish him to enforce compliance with recent court orders.

Those orders were issued by the court on Oct. 28, and Nov. 22. The first order directed the defendant to expediently reply to discovery requests and set deadlines for such replies. After the first deadline was missed, the court set another deadline for Giuliani to explain himself and avoid being held in contempt. Now, that second deadline has whooshed on by and the plaintiffs have lost their patience.

“Mr. Giuliani has not produced a single document in response to Plaintiffs’ discovery orders in this matter notwithstanding multiple orders from this Court requiring him to do so,” the latest motion reads.

1. Poor ol' Rootie-Tootie . . .

. . . they just will not give him a break.

Should we set up a GoFundMe page so Rootie can buy groceries?

Or maybe his best friend Donald can help him?

I’m thinking Rootie better be scraping together bus fare to Miami because sleeping on the streets in a NYC winter is no fun whereas Miami streets are nice this time of year.

2. You know what would be fascinating?

I'd like to know Giuliani's plans and strategy. He's hinted that there's a plan behind his behavior even taunting the media to "not bet against him."

Years ago in NYC, there was a powerful Mafia boss named Vincent Gigante, aka, Vinnie the Chin. To avoid prosecution, he would wander around his Greenwich Village neighborhood in a bathrobe and slippers mumbling incoherently to himself in order to convince the world and the courts that he was mentally unfit to stand trial. Although he played the part for decades, it ultimately didn't work and Gigante went to prison on multiple charges where he later died.

Could Giuliani be trying the same stunt? His behavior has been questionable, at best. It won't work for him either.

3. I heard a blip of a story on the radio this morning (a CBS news report)

that was talking "pardons" and "Giuliani" in the same story. I didn't catch the whole thing but I expect the story was probably mentioning him as a possible beneficiary of one since this case, although civil, is federal. So the stall job is probably to get past the inauguration.
