An attorney who represented Dominion Voting Systems in its defamation lawsuit against Fox News heaped dirt upon Rudy Giuliani after a jury last week ordered him to pay $148 million to defamed election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.
Appearing on CNN Monday, attorney Rodney Smolla explained how Giuliani drove himself into a ditch by failing to fully comply with discovery requests ahead of his trial.
"He really flouted the system twice," argued Smolla. "Originally, the original lies were an affront to the rule of law, and then he refused to do what every litigant must do in this country, which is to produce the evidence that you have. So having done that two times, in my view, he got exactly what he deserved."

Smolla also made the case that Giuliani's lies damaged much more than the reputations of Freeman and Moss.
"I think it's very important to emphasize that, not only did these lies damage brave people like Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman or the Dominion Voting company, but they damaged the whole country," he said. "They damage our faith in the integrity of our election system, and there has to be some accountability for that and these defamation cases at least stand for the proposition that, eventually, these falsehoods will come home to roost."
