Rudy Giuliani appeared in a federal courtroom in Manhattan on Friday for a hearing on whether he should be held in contempt after the onetime personal attorney for President-elect Donald Trump allegedly flouted multiple court orders in connection with the two Georgia election workers he defamed trying to collect the $148 million judgment awarded in their favor.

Last month, U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman, a Trump appointee, ordered Giuliani to appear in person for the Jan. 3 hearing on the contempt issue following numerous requests from the plaintiffs regarding his “consistent pattern of willful defiance” involving court orders to turn over of his personal property and provide information to plaintiffs for discovery.

Liman on Thursday rejected Giuliani’s last-minute request to appear virtually for the contempt hearing after the former New York City mayor said he was “having medical issues with his left knee” as well as “breathing problems due to lung issues” that were the result of him “being at the World Trade Center site on September 11, 2001.”

The hearing, which began at 10 a.m., went through the day and will be continued at the same time on Monday. However, Liman will allow Giuliani to appear virtually for the proceedings as he will not be questioned by plaintiff’s counsel again.

1. Judges have to stop taking his bull and toss him in jail for a few nights.

Plaintiffs won't get anywhere near what they are due, but could get some satisfaction from Guiliani getting a proper spanking publicly.

2. He really noun-verbed-9/11'ed his court hearing?

This is self-parody.

I lol'd!

3. So he's latching back on to 9/11?

I wonder if he’s ever mentioned lung problems before.

5. These poor women whose lives he disrupted out of malice and lust for power will never be made whole.

They will never get the money awarded to them by the court.

I also doubt E Jean Carroll will ever see a dime of what Trump was ordered to pay. (Funny that there is no longer media coverage of the status of this case)

We all know that if it were you or I thumbing our noses at the courts in this way, we would be treated very harshly, likely jailed for contempt.

That is one thing Team Trump has right. The System IS rigged.

6. Emails are not "communication"? Silly me, is that not precisely what an email is? Fucking lawyer babble.

7. Email... "Electronic MAIL"

The clue is in the name
