Rudy Giuliani lawyer shifts blame to St. Louis-based Gateway Pundit in defamation case

[TexasTowelie]

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s attorney on Thursday tried to distance his client from the violent threats faced by Georgia election workers he falsely accused of fraud, arguing St. Louis-based Gateway Pundit was more responsible.

During his closing arguments in the defamation lawsuit against Giuliani, attorney Joseph Sibley tried to convince a Washington, D.C, jury that Giuliani was a minor player in the unfounded election fraud allegations that led to an avalanche of threats against Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss.

Others deserve more blame, Sibley contends, specifically pointing to the right-wing website Gateway Pundit over its publication of security camera footage that linked Freeman and Moss to the unfounded allegations of election fraud touted by Giuliani and former President Donald Trump’s campaign.

The saga is being closely watched in Missouri, where Moss and Freeman are also suing Gateway Pundit in St. Louis Circuit Court for defamation and emotional distress.

3. Except Rudy won't stop talking about it.

What you need to do, counselor, is get your client to STFU.

4. "I didn't fire the gun."

"I merely loaded it, handed it to the scumbag who pulled the trigger, and told him where to shoot."

And you know what? Whoever was behind Gateway Pundit should be treated the same as Giuliani.

6. Do these fuckers ever take responsibility for anything? ANYTHING!?
