Rudy Giuliani May Be In Contempt, In TWO Federal Courts, By Mid December... Sequential Jailings?! NY, And DC?

This is, almost word for word, what the cogent Wilkie Farr lawyers (pro bono, for the Georgia election workers) asked for yesterday.

Just read what the able USDC Judge Liman in Manhattan entered, overnight -- all three pages -- and a bit of it: [This man is also subject to jailing, in DC as we mentioned yesterday -- for his continuing to defame the Georgia election workers over the public airwaves -- and thus willfully violating the injunction entered, against such speech and conduct.]

. . .Among other things, it also ordered Defendant, his agents, employees, and those acting in concert with them to comply with the directives of the Plaintiffs Receivers issued pursuant to the Turnover Order. Id. at 21 ¶ 4(f). Defendant did not object to the appointment of receivers or to the terms of the Turnover Order or powers of the receivers, other than limited objections with respect to specific items of property. Dkt. No. 44. No motion for reconsideration of the Turnover Order was made.

On November 7, 2024, after the Court had been informed that Defendant had turned over none of the Receivership Property ordered to be turned over by October 29, 2024, the Court issued a further order that was then memorialized in a November 8, 2024 written order. Dkt. No. 94. As memorialized in the November 8, 2024 order, Defendant was required by November 15, 2024, to deliver to Plaintiffs-Receivers “all items of property identified in the Turnover Order, according to the Plaintiffs-Receivers’ instructions.” Id. at 2. Defendant has not complied with that order nor with the Turnover Order. Dkt. No. 147.

In light of Defendant’s noncompliance, Plaintiffs-Receivers have issued new directives to Defendant pursuant to the Turnover Order. Id. at 7-8. The Court has reviewed the directives and finds that they are consistent with, and authorized by, the Turnover Order. Accordingly, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Court orders that Defendant Giuliani shall comply with the following instructions provided by the Plaintiffs- Receivers on pain of contempt. . . .

By no later than 5 p.m. Friday, December 6, 2024, Mr. Giuliani shall segregate all Receivership Property located at the CTS Facility from property that is not subject to the Turnover Order. . . . By the same date and time, Mr. Giuliani shall provide a detailed list containing pictures of the segregated Receivership Property located at the CTS Facility sufficient to show the size and quantity of that property. . . .

Defendant Giuliani, his attorneys, agents, and persons in active concert or participation with him or them shall not transfer, encumber, or interfere with any of Defendant’s property located at Corporate Transfer and Storage, Inc. (“CTS”) or America First Warehouse (“AFX”) until the Receiver files notice on the docket that the above conditions have been satisfied.

SO ORDERED. . . .

Damn. [Judge Liman's original turnover order from October 2024 may be read here.] What a precipitous fall. . . from what he was, in the late 1980s to about 2001. Damn.

He will die penniless, and alone now -- in some low rent trailer or motel in the Florida panhandle.

If not in. . . some county drunk tank. Out.
