Election worker unleashes on Rudy Giuliani's lawyer in cross-examination
An attorney for Rudy Giuliani struggled to help his client during the cross-examination of former Georgia election worker Shaye Moss.
On the second day of Giuliani's defamation trial, Giuliani's attorney, Joe Sibley tried his hand at cross-examining Moss. U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell has already ruled that Giuliani is liable for defaming Moss and her mother, Ruby Freeman.
"They're no different. They're all on the same hate train together. It was just Mr. Giuliani driving the bus picking up these people, and spreading lies," Moss said.
The former election worker bested Sibley in question after question.
"I want to vindicate myself. I want to receive some kind of justice for all that myself and my family have been through," Moss asserted when asked if she was trying to make money off of Giuliani.
"By hitting someone in the pockets — especially someone whose whole career is about their pockets — that will send a message to the next person who wants to spread lies about election workers," she added.

"I, personally, cannot repair my reputation at the moment because your client is still lying on me and ruining my reputation. Like, how could you work in law if everyone is saying you're a horrible lawyer?"
"You'd be surprised, actually," Sibley joked.
Moss pointed out that Giuliani assumed Moss and Freeman were Democrats because they were Black.
"He didn't go onto BET Nightly News to spread his lies... he went to places where he knew his people would hear," she noted.
Sibley wanted to know if the litigation had been stressful for her.
"Only talking to you," Moss quipped.

This guys attorney argued the man was stricken with "Foxmania" from Watching too much Fox News and that is what caused him to attack the Capitol on Jan 6th
Anthony Alexander Antonio, a 29-year-old who lives in Delaware, pleaded guilty to a felony count of obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting. The guilty plea came the same day the Supreme Court agreed to take up a challenge to the obstruction of an official proceeding charge.
At an early hearing in his case, Antonio's attorney Joseph Hurley said that Fox News “played constantly” in his home for six months.
“He became hooked with what I call ‘Foxitus’ or ‘Foxmania’ and became interested in the political aspect and started believing what was being fed to him," Hurley said.
In his agreed-upon statement of offense, Antonia admits that he yelled at police before joining the stand-off at the lower west tunnel of the Capitol, where some of the worst violence of Jan. 6 took place.
“You want war?” he shouted. “We got war. 1776 all over again.”
After taking possession of a shield that had been stolen from police, Antonio shoved his way to the front of the crowd and watched as rioters dragged an officer down a set of stairs. Antonio "sprayed water and threw his water bottle in the direction of the officer who was being dragged by other rioters," the statement said.
Antonio later took a police gas mask and "forcefully pushed and grappled with police officers and refused to leave the tunnel until sprayed with a chemical irritant," it said.
Antonio soon entered the Capitol through a broken window, joining other rioters in a Senate "hideaway" office. "We barricaded the door, broke everything, so we'd have something to use against 'em," he later said in an interview while on Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, according to the statement.
Antonio, in an interview with the FBI, later said that he did not help an officer when he should have. His sentencing range is 33 to 51 months in federal prison. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson will sentence Antonio, who is now represented by attorney Robert Lee Jenkins, Jr., in August 2024.
Jan. 6 rioter with 'Foxmania' pleads guilty to felony Capitol attack charge

In Closing Arguments Giuliani’s Own Attorney Compares Him To ‘Flat-Earther’ Who Won’t Stop Believing In Stolen Election
Rudy Giuliani’s own attorney compared him to a fanatical “flat-earther” who will never stop believing the 2020 election lie, and asked the jury to “have sympathy” when determining how much he owes the plaintiffs in his defamation suit.
Politico’s Kyle Cheney live-tweeted closing arguments in the defamation case Thursday.
“[Joe] Sibley repeatedly criticizing Giuliani, comparing him to flat-earthers who will never stop believing election lies, saying he committed an ‘injustice’ against Moss/Freeman, noting he’s almost 80. ‘Rudy Giuliani shouldn’t be defined by what’s happened in recent times,'” Cheney posted.
Cheney continued, “Now SIBLEY recalling Rudy as a unifying figure around 9/11, wants jury to remember him that way. ‘This is a man who did great things. If he hasn’t been so great lately, I want you to judge him by the entire character of who he is.’ Urges jury to have sympathy.”
The civil case was brought by Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, two Georgia election workers whose lives were upended after Giuliani repeatedly claimed they manipulated ballots in the 2020 presidential election. The women received myriad racist threats and were forced to avoid being out in public for their own safety. They are asking for upwards of $43 million in damages.
“Attorney for Freeman/Moss now giving closing arguments,” Cheney continued. “He begins with Giuliani’s press comments 3 days ago: ‘Mr. Giuliani’s defense is that his reputation, his comfort, his goals are more important than Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. That is a fiction and it ends today.'”
“Mr. Giuliani has shown over and over and over again that he will not take our clients’ names out of his mouth. The facts do not, can not, and will not stop him … he says he isn’t sorry. He’s telegraphing that he will do this again. Believe him,” Cheney quoted the attorney.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell chastised Giuliani in court this week for making further defamatory statements about the women outside the federal courthouse.
