Rudy Giuliani was the top Trump campaign lawyer promoting false claims that ballot fraud led to the election of President Joe Biden in Georgia and elsewhere.

    5’9 sounds accurate, but 180 pounds? That seems a bit generous. I bet they just asked him and didn’t bother weighing him.

    I was most interested in his BAC, too bad they didn’t take that.

        No joke, the NYT article says:

        After his booking, Mr. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, stepped out of an S.U.V. to address a throng of reporters, calling the case “an attack on the American people.” He then made his way to A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds, a business near the jail.

      Georgia has a 10% deal, so he only has to post $15K.

      https://abcnews.go.com/US/trumps-bond-set-200000-fulton-county-election-interference/story?id=102431955

      “The bond can be paid through cash, a commercial surety, or a court program that requires a payment of 10% of the bond amount.”

        What is the point of a large bail bond if 10% is all that needs to be paid? Why not get rid of that and just set it at whatever 10% is?

    “I’m feeling very, very good about it because I feel like I am defending the rights of all Americans, as I did so many times as a United States attorney,” Giuliani said.

    He realizes this is a criminal case, not a rights case, right?

    Edit: they edited the story and removed the quote. His original and full answer can be found here..

        Since Georgia has Bail Bondsmen, I don’t believe they “10%” the bails. That’s what the bondsmen are there for. He just “wasted” 15k at the bondsman, since he would have gotten the entire $150,000 back, (minus court costs and fines if found guilty) but he won’t see a dime of that $15,000 he just paid the bondsman.
