2/ Via Klasfeld:
Remember when Rudy signed carefully worded, unsworn stipulations his claims abt Ruby Freeman & Shaye Moss were false? From Judge Howell's on those in her sanctions order.
"Giuliani's stipulations hold more holes than Swiss cheese."
Only matter left to determine at trial is how much in damages he owes Freeman & Moss.
Last time MAGA-adjacent fig. lost hi-profile defam case bc discovery violations led to default judgment?

3/ Via Andrew Weissmann:
Huge win for Freeman and Moss and defeat for Rudy, but I wonder what discovery he is hiding? I suspect it is pretty bad- ie criminally damning- for him to risk this result which is financially ruinous and predicated on his discovery violations.
