>>> THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN’S
DANGEROUSLY MALIGNANT AND
CARTOONISHLY INCOMPETENT EFFORTS
TO STEAL THE ELECTION ARE NOT
OVER YET.
RUDY GIULIANI APPEARED BEFORE A
FEDERAL JUDGE IN WILLIAMSPORT,
PENNSYLVANIA TO MAKE BASELESS
CLAIMS IN A LAST-DITCH EFFORT TO
KEEP THE STATE FROM CERTIFYING
THEIR ELECTION RESULTS.
THAT’S OBVIOUSLY WHAT THEY’RE
TRYING TO DO IN STATE AFTER
STATE.
IT’S A STATE JOE BIDEN HAS WON
BY MORE THAN 73,000 VOTES AND
SOME LEFT TO COUNT.
GIULIANI’S COURT APPEARANCE CAME
AFTER THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN DROPPED
THEIR MOST SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS
IN THE CASE AND TWO DIFFERENT
SETS OF LAWYERS YET.
JUST CANDIDATE THE CAMPAIGN
REPLACED THEM WITH A LAWYER AND
TALK SHOW HOST WHO SAID ON THE
DAY THE RACE WAS CALLED FOR JOE
BIDEN THAT, QUOTE, LITIGATION
WILL NOT WORK AND TO REVERSE
THIS ELECTRIC.
-- ELECTION.
THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN HAS PUT ONE
MAN IN CHARGE OF ITS
ELECTION-STEALING EFFORTS.
THE JACK OF ALL TRADES.
THE BATTLE OF THE FOUR SEASONS
TOTAL LANDSCAPING. AMERICA’S MAYOR, YOU KNOW HIM,
AMERICA’S MAYOR, YOU KNOW HIM,
YOU LOVE HIM, THE RUDESTER.
HIS MEMBERSHIP TO THE D.C. BAR
IS SUSPENDED FOR NONPAYMENT OF
FEES AND REPORTEDLY WANTS
$20,000 A DAY FOR HIS SERVICES.
THAT GUY WAS ARGUING FOR THE
PRESIDENT BEFORE A FEDERAL JUDGE
UNSPOILING
UNSPOILING IF CUCUTA CONSPIRACY
THEORIES.
I’M JOINED NOW BY THE ATTORNEY
WHO ARGUED AGAINST HIM.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON.
FIRST, I WONDER IF WE CAN START
WITH WHAT WAS THE CASE?
WHAT WAS THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
ASSERTS?
ASSERTING?
WHAT WAS THE ARGUMENT BEFORE
THIS JUDGE.
>> THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN THROUGH
MR. GIULIANI ASSERTING A FANTASY
WORLD.
IT WAS A CASE THAT SOMEHOW
INVOLVES 11 DIFFERENT STATES IN
A GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY WITH THE
BIGGEST CITIES IN THE UNITED
STATES ALL JOINING IN TO SOMEHOW
MANUFACTURE VOTES AND CHANGE
MAIL-IN BALLOTS AND SOMEHOW
THROW THE ELECTION TO JOE BIDEN.
AND I SAT THERE DUMBFOUNDED.
BECAUSE THE STORY THAT WAS
PRESENTED BY MR. GIULIANI BORE
NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACTUAL
COMPLAINT IN THE CASE.
AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU’RE IN
COURT, YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT
THE COMPLAINT.
YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT YOUR
FACTS.
YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE LAW.
WHEN YOU’RE AT FOUR SEASONS
TOTAL LANDSCAPING, I GUESS YOU
CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING.
THERE SEEMED TO BE NO
DISTINCTION IN WHAT I HEARD
TODAY.
AND I POINTED THAT OUT VERY
STRONGLY TO THE COURT.
>> SO, THE -- AGAIN, THE
COMPLAINT, IT SOUNDED LIKE HE
SORT OF GAVE A GIULIANI
MONOLOGUE ABOUT ALL THE
NEFARIOUS ACTORS WHO WERE TRYING
TO STEAL THE ELECTION,
INDEPENDENT FROM WHATEVER LEGAL
CLAIMS THEY WERE PURSUING WAS.
AM I RIGHT THE REMEDY THEY’RE
SEEKING IS TO THROW OUT ALL THE
VOTES IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND
PHILADELPHIA?
>> YEAH, IT WAS INTERESTING, THE
REMEDY KEPT MULTIPLYING AS MR.
GIULIANI WAS TALKING.
IT STARTED OFF HE WAS AFTER
680,000 VOTES, AND BY THE TIME
HE FINISHED HIS SPEECH, I THINK
WE WERE UP TO 1,200,000 VOTES
AND COUNTING, I GUESS.
IT’S ABSURD ON ITS FACE.
IN FACT, THE WHOLE PRESENTATION
WAS ABSURD ON ITS FACE.
BUT I THINK WHAT WAS TELLING WAS
THAT WHEN YOU’RE IN A COURT AND
YOU HAVE TO SOMETIMES EXPLAIN
YOURSELF, YOU HAVE TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS THAT THE JUDGE ASKED
AND THE JUDGE PRESSED, IS THIS
ABOUT FRAUD AND WHERE IS IT PLED
THAT THIS IS ABOUT FRAUD?
AND AFTER SOME HEMMING AND
HAWING, MR. GIULIANI BASICALLY
SAID, NO, THIS WASN’T A
COMPLAINT BASED ON FRAUD.
AND INSTEAD IT WAS BASED ON SOME
KIND OF A -- ALL I CAN SAY IS
SOME KIND OF STRANGE CONSPIRACY
IDEA.
BUT WHAT WAS ALSO TELLING WAS
THAT HIS OPENING STATEMENT
PRACTICALLY WAS THAT HE WANTED
TO AMEND THE COMPLAINT AGAIN.
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY’VE ALREADY
AMENDED THIS COMPLAINT ONCE.
AND TOOK OUT ALMOST EVERYTHING
THAT THEY HAD PLED INITIALLY.
ALL SORTS OF PROPOSITIONS FELL
OUT OF THE CASE.
HE THEN SAID SOME OF THAT WAS A
MISTAKE.
HE WANTED TO PUT THEM BACK IN.
