Well, it’s not a conviction, but at least it’s a comeuppance.
Rudy Giuliani, who has been hiding from process servers seeking to serve him with notice that he has been indicted with attempting to overturn the election results in the State of Arizona, was finally served with his indictment last night in Florida. That alone is enough good news for one day but listen to how they found him.
Giuliani was having an 80th birthday party for himself at his Palm Beach Condo in Florida when he posted a taunt aimed at Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes for failing to be able to serve him.
Other photos were posted of the party, one showing Giuliani interviewing Roger Stone (top), for his podcast, and other guests presenting him with his birthday cake in the same corner of his condo he uses as a little broadcast studio…
Using his tweets, the Arizona process server was able to geo-locate Giuliani and was waiting for him outside his condo when he left his party, doubtlessly headed for a local watering hole for more celebrating, and Giuliani got served.
Giuliani faces charges of spreading false claims of election fraud in Arizona and attempting to pressure state lawmakers to change the outcome of election in the state.
Giuliani faces similar charges in the Georgia RICO case, for trying to influence legislators in that state to appoint fake electors, solicitation of false testimony, and conspiracy to create false official documents.
In December of last year, Giuliani lost a defamation case brought by two Georgia election workers and was ordered to pay them $148 million. Giuliani’s law license has been suspended in New York and he filed for bankruptcy shortly before being hit with the zillion dollar Georgia jury verdict.
It is said that “the wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.” It’s rare to see the wheels laughing out loud.
