That's a bold strategy Cotton.........Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his attorney, Joe Sibley, reportedly sat in silence and facing away from one another during an appearance in court on Friday morning.
CBS News' Scott MacFarlane reports that Giuliani and Sibley "aren’t speaking to each other. Not at all."
The reporter added that the two men had even "pivoted in their chairs away from each other."
Sibley this week made a number of insulting comments about his client as he tried to limit the damages that a jury will award the man once known as "America's mayor" for his response to the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.
Things got off to a rocky start on Monday when Giuliani once again made false claims about plaintiffs Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whom Giuliani had already been found liable for defaming.
That led Sibley to argue that Giuliani's age had caused him to not think clearly about the words that were coming out of his mouth.
"This has taken a bit of a toll on him," Sibley said. "He’s almost 80 years old. I think he was sitting here all day at trial at his age."
Sibley also implicitly compared his own client to people who still believe that the Earth is flat.
….
Your honor, my client is big stupid moron. I mean can you fuckin’ believe this guy?
I rest my case.
Trumps attorney must be pretty salty having her next legal strategy stolen by Giuliani's lawyer.
"My clients a stupid asshole who can't keep his mouth shut" doesn't have quite the same ring to it as "If the glove don't fit, you have to acquit".
