Here is a new wrinkle on the Giuliani defamation judgement.

The total payment ordered by the jury breaks down as follows: between $16 and $17 million each to Freeman and Shaye in compensatory damages, $20 million each for the intentional infliction of emotional distress, and a further $75 million in punitive damages. In the wake of the ruling, Giuliani, vowing to appeal the verdict, said that he did not "regret a damn thing" and decried the jury's order for what he called its "absurdity."

And now here is the wrinkle though any judge hearing the appeal is going to make a note of his comments and this is like our Favorite Moron claiming I did nothing wrong after fomenting an insurrection (fight like hell) and stealing classified documents.

"One of the things that is a bit of an obstacle to an appeal is the idea that in Georgia, a person has to post what's known as an appeal bond," she said. "And the idea behind an appeal bond is that an appeal could be filed for good faith reasons, it can also be filed simply to delay the pay day, and so to avoid the latter, litigants are required to pay in advance an appeal bond which is usually something more than the amount of the judgment, so that it's there in case there is a finality in the case. I don't know that Rudy Giuliani is going to get an appeal bond, so he may not be able to do it at all."
McQuade continued, noting that there is a potential option for Giuliani to petition the court and argue that the amount he has been ordered to pay is excessive. Even if this was successful, however, she said that the former mayor would still be on the hook for "tens of millions of dollars."

One way or the other America's Idiot is Frugged. Time to rejoice folks. And since OANN settled with these two women, they should be more than OK financially going forward but more importantly they can make Rudy's life miserable, really mi$erable.
