2020 Election Results

[Elixir]

Rudy Giuliani has claimed he can’t afford to buy food, just one week after he rocked up to vote in the election in his Mercedes.

Looks like an old beater 230 SL. Not old enough to be a collector's item but too old to look like a b'zillionaire's car.
(The 1960's ones are worth real money, but I think the one in the pic is maybe worth high teens to low twenties).

If it's a 550SL it is definitely a collectors car. Probably worth 30 to 40 grand. The bodies are pretty much the same, the running gear is very differant. That V8 is considered to be one of the greatest V8 engines ever built.

I could buy plenty of food for forty grand.

I had a 1964 230SE Coupe for a while. The original owner was Governor Bill Scranton of PA. It had that 6.3 liter V8 and sounded like a really gnarly sewing machine. Wish I had kept it - probably worth six figures today.

Rudy Giuliani’s lawyers abruptly quit defamation case

Lawyers for Trump’s former attorney want to quit after a court hearing on his failure to surrender property

Rudy Giuliani’s lawyers have abruptly quit representing him in his defamation case after attorneys for the women he defamed accused the disgraced former New York City mayor of hiding property he has been ordered to turn over.

Giuliani’s lead counsel Kenneth Caruso and attorney David Labkowski filed a motion in federal court in New York on Wednesday citing several reasons for their withdrawal, pointing to a “fundamental disagreement” with Donald Trump’s former attorney.

His spokesperson Ted Goodman told The Independent that “he has not been informed by Mr. Caruso of this action.”

“Surely Mr. Caruso would talk to the mayor, or at the very least inform him, of such a decision,” he said.

The attorneys invoked a New York rule that allows attorneys to withdraw when a “client insists upon taking action with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement” or when a client “insists upon presenting a claim or defense that is not warranted under existing law and cannot be supported by good faith argument,” or when “the client fails to cooperate in the representation or otherwise renders the representation unreasonably difficult for the lawyer to carry out employment effectively.”

Joseph Cammarata said in a letter filed late Friday in Manhattan federal court that the trove of watches and a ring were delivered by FedEx to a bank in Atlanta, Georgia, in the morning. The 1980 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 was turned over at an address in Hialeah, Florida, and an undisclosed amount of funds from Giuliani’s Citibank accounts were also surrendered to the two women who won the judgment, according to the letter.

Cammarata, in an email, didn’t respond to follow-up questions but called Giuliani “a victim of political persecution” and said this month’s election demonstrated Americans were tired of “witch-hunts, indictments, impeachments, prosecutions, convictions, civil cases and judgments.” “The people of this great nation have spoken; my legal team and client intend to do the same,” Cammarata wrote. “We will not relent.” Associated Press article link

Giuliani could be held in contempt after ‘brazenly defaming election workers again’

Cash-strapped former mayor accused of repeating the same false claims that landed him with a $150 judgment

www.independent.co.uk

Rudy Giuliani could be held in contempt of court for repeating false claims about two former election workers who won nearly $150 million for his defamatory statements about them.

Attorneys for Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss — who are also pressing a federal judge in New York to force the cash-strapped former New York City mayor to turn over his property — are asking the judge who presided over their initial defamation trial to sanction Giuliani for his ongoing baseless claims.

On recent livestreams, Donald Trump’s former attorney accused the women of “quadruple counting the ballots” and “passing hard drives that we maintain were used to fix the machine” during the 2020 presidential election — claims that landed him in a trial court for defamation last year

Wuttan asshole.
