Rudy Giuliani is asking a federal judge in New York not to release court documents detailing why his two attorneys suddenly quit while representing him in the receivership case concerning the $148 million he owes to the two Georgia election workers he defamed.

The defamed election workers — Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea ArShaye “Shaye” Moss — have been in ongoing and often contentious litigation with Giuliani to collect on that judgment.

The filing, from Giuliani’s new attorney, Joseph M. Cammarata, came in response to U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman ordering Giuliani and the plaintiffs in the case to inform the court whether they objected to unsealing the declarations from Giuliani’s former lead attorney, Kenneth Caruso, and former co-counsel, David Labkowski, regarding why they chose to withdraw from representing the former New York City mayor — a move they made without informing their client.

In response, Giuliani argued that Caruso and Labkowski should never have filed their motions to withdraw with the court, but even so, the motions were “rendered moot” once Giuliani, his former attorneys, and Cammarata signed a consent order granting substitution of attorney. The consent order was filed one day after Caruso and Labkowski sought to withdraw from the case, but Liman did not immediately sign the order.

1. Giuliani has already publicly declared himself to be broke, so it would serve

no purpose to hide that lack of payment was the issue... So that leaves what? Failure to follow their instructions? Sexual harassment? Bad hygiene?

[Ray Bruns]

2. I would venture it's the constant flatulence.

[Mike 03]

5. Exactly. He's been arguing he's broke, so it's not anything to do with

his financial status. My guess is it revolves around his reputed alcoholism, a character trait that made him impossible to work with, or something else that rendered him unable to participate constructively in his own defense or to comprehend the legal proceedings. (Obviously just pure speculation).

8. He probably asked them to lie to the judge.

[smb]

10. Yep

The fact that Ghouliani wants to hide it suggests that the documents reveal that he asked his attorneys to do something illegal and they refused so they didn't end up going to prison with him.

14. I was going to suggest that yeah, they probably didnt want to get slapped

With contempt or obstruction charges lol.

I'd want that information sealed, too.

[Javaman]

11. All of the above? Lol nt

[tanyev]

3. Because they finally had enough of representing an uncontrollable lying sack of shit?

[Mike 03]

6. Maybe the lying. That's not a bad guess. But as for being

a sack of shit, I mean even the Hillside Stranglers found legal representation. The "Sacramento Vampire" was psychotic and had attorneys. Charles Ng. Lawrence Bittaker. The list of sacks of shit who had attorneys is gargantuan.

9. The bar is lower in criminal court

In Bankruptcy Court the plaintiff (Ghouliani) has to prove his case beyond any counter case. Two issues are paying for the attorneys and the other more serious is trying to get them to lie.

4. I doubt or hope that the judge will not agree to Rudy's demand/request

This information needs to come out

[keithbvadu2]

7. My guess would be that they found he was hiding assets, and they did not want to be part of it.

[Lefta Dissenter]

12. My thoughts, exactly. (n/t)

[onenote]

13. The judge has ordered the sealed paragraphs to be unsealed.

The order spells out the rationale for disclosure

[Tweedy]

15. It would serve the purpose of truth

Which considering Mr. Giuliani’s lies landed him in this hot pot, seems quite sufficient rationale to me.

16. Top Ten Reasons Giuliani's Lawyers May Have Quit

10. They got tired of having to call him "Mr. Mayor".

9. The gag-inducing halitosis.

8. Conducted all meetings with his hand down his pants.

7. Women on his legal team were creeped out by his constant comments that they "reminded him of his cousin".

6. Running hair dye fouled documents, resulting in high reprinting costs

5. Would insist on meeting at the Four Seasons, but would never show for some reason.

4. He never blinks.

3. Kept demanding a "trial by combat".

2. Often showed up to strategy meetings with his three unhousebroken dogs "Noun", "Verb", and "9/11".

...and the number one reason Giuliani's lawyers may have quit:

1. He's broke!
