'Can't even do bankruptcy right': Ex-prosecutor mocks Rudy Giuliani's latest big failure

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner raked Rudy Giuliani over the coals on his latest "Justice Matters" episode after a judge dismissed Giuliani's bankruptcy proceedings, proclaiming that he "can't even do bankruptcy right."The move puts Giuliani back on the hook for paying a nearly $150 million civil judgment to a pair of Atlanta election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, that he was found liable for defaming with election conspiracy theories following former President Donald Trump's loss in 2020. It follows a number of other legal problems facing the former New York City mayor and close Trump ally, including a RICO indictment in Georgia, disbarment in New York, and a lawsuit from his own lawyer for nonpayment of fees.Giuliani, said Kirschner, is "nothing if not consistent" in "lying, cheating, stealing, breaking the law." He's in this situation because he "wouldn't even be truthful with the bankruptcy court judge."EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s ‘secretary of retribution’ has a ‘target list’ of 350 people he wants arrestedThe judge in the case, Sean H. Lane, cited Giuliani's failure to adhere to basic financial transparency standards, not answering questions about his assets, and missing key filing deadlines — and said he failed to do anything to correct these problems when the court alerted him to them.With Giuliani denied bankruptcy protection, creditors will have free reign to pursue other legal avenues of collecting the money he owes, which according to reports is considerable, and may be able to seize his apartment. As a small consolation, it also allows him to appeal the civil judgment against him.It's a fitting end for a saga that began with Giuliani attacking the poll workers with racial dog whistles, noted Kirschner, saying "look at them, they look like drug dealers passing vials of heroin or cocaine back and forth."In a statement to Raw Story, Giuliani's attorney Ted Goodman said, "This whole bankruptcy case was burdened with many of the same voluminous and overly broad discovery requests and other actions — including regular leaks of information — intended to harm the mayor and destroy his businesses. It is yet another example of the effort to punish Mayor Rudy Giuliani as the person most responsible for exposing Hunter Biden's laptop and to deter anyone else from asking questions or getting to the truth."Watch the video below or at the link here.
