Rudy Giuliani’s longtime friend once again asked a bankruptcy judge to let the former NYC mayor hire him to appeal an “enormous” $146 million judgment that favored defamed Georgia election workers, this time accusing Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss of taking a “very telling” position on the issue.

In amended declaration submitted to U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane, attorney Kenneth Caruso first claimed Monday that there’s a clear “irony” to the position advanced by creditors’ lawyers against an appeal, insisting that opposition will only worsen Giuliani’s financial situation.

“The Committee does not object to the flat fee of $250,000 plus reimbursement of expenses. Indeed, it is hard to see how the Committee could lodge a meritorious objection considering that the Debtor’s estate will not pay the fees and expenses,” Caruso said. “The Court may note the irony here: The Committee, through its Objection, depletes the estate in an effort to avoid or delay an appeal that will seek to increase the estate. The Debtor and I, by contrast, seek to increase the estate without depleting the estate.”

Caruso also claimed that the Georgia election workers Giuliani was found to have defamed have themselves taken a “very telling” position in opposition to the appeal. The lawyer argued that Freeman and Moss “should be anxious to win affirmance on appeal” but have chosen instead to “obstruct.”
