Dominion Voting Systems’ massive defamation lawsuits against pro-Trump attorneys Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, MyPillow and its CEO Mike Lindell can move forward, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, according to Reuters. This is also bad news for two conservative media networks, One America News Network and Newsmax Media Inc, since Dominion is suing them, saying that they defamed the U.S. voting machine company by spreading false claims that it rigged the 2020 election against then-President Donald Trump.

Dominion’s lawsuits could bury the aforementioned financially. Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani’s legal bills have piled up, but to Donald Trump, loyalty is a one-way street. The Daily Beast reports that Giuliani is on his own, basically.
“For months now, Trump has consistently ignored or rejected Giuliani’s pleas for assistance, the outlet reports. “And it’s not just that Trump and other prominent Republicans have been unwilling to open up their wallets or war chests to help offset Giuliani’s mounting legal costs; in many cases, Giuliani’s former Trumpworld comrades have declined to even acknowledge the existence of his legal defense fund, which has struggled to raise much of anything from the public.”
That’s a shame. Well, Rudy Giuliani is on the case! That’s right; Rudy sprang into action by taking his financial problems into his own crazy hands. Trump’s former bug-eyed attorney has reportedly reduced himself to hawking clips of himself on Cameo, a platform where users can purchase personal messages from public figures for things such as birthdays, graduations, or other special occasions. Oh, and here I was all this time thinking that Trump is a billionaire.
The Kraken lady and her colleagues better pile into Cameo, too, before they’re destitute. Do you see how we try to help here at the Political Tribune? We’re nothing if not helpful. Their careers as attorneys look bleak, but hey, maybe they could run a food truck. I love food trucks! Again, just being helpful.
