Rudy Giuliani Is Exactly That Fool Of A Client

Putting a microphone in front of 2024 Rudy? What could possibly go wrong?

While the precise phrase is that the lawyer representing themself has a fool for a client, the lawyer representing another lawyer is still very likely representing a fool.

Consider Rudy Giuliani’s attorney Kenneth Caruso. The former NYC mayor cum raving loon was ordered to turn over his apartment to satisfy the defamation judgment against him for defaming a pair of Atlanta poll workers and subjecting them to the fury of Trump’s most unhinged loyalists.

When the judgment creditors arrived at the apartment, they found it stripped of all the property that is now, legally, theirs. This did not sit well with Judge Lewis Liman (full disclosure: my old boss), who ordered Rudy to appear in court to explain why he thought he could play games with court orders.

And then this happened:

Nothing endears a defendant to the court more than abject defiance! As noted above, Giuliani’s counsel quickly protected his client before Rudy’s answer veered into more defamation — which would not have been the first time — proving the value of outside counsel.

My bet is next time Rudy will be counseled to not take questions.
