Giuliani's lawyers likely to bail on his Biden lawsuit because he's broke: legal expert

Rudy Giuliani's civil lawsuit against President Joe Biden could end up in the dustbin of history because he lacks the money to pay his lawyers and his own legal difficulties are of more concern.

That is the opinion of attorney Mark Herrmann writing for the Daily Beast who also maintained that the former New York mayor's lawsuit has some merit but is likely headed to an ignoble end.

Lost is all the news about Giuliani's federal indictments and the billion-dollar lawsuit filed against him by Dominion Voting Systems, is the lawsuit he initiated against the president in New Hampshire about comments made during the 2020 presidential debates.

The defamation and invasion of privacy lawsuit is tied to Biden referring to Giuliani as a "Russian pawn," with Hermann suggesting Biden's lawyers stall out the case as much as possible because it will likely go away.

As he noted, Giuliani has his hands full not only keeping himself out of jail but also paying his legal bills and retaining his army of lawyers.

The legal expert explained that "stalling is likely to reduce the amount of damages that anyone would think Biden owes Giuliani for defamation. Within a couple of years, Giuliani may either be forced into bankruptcy or prison (or both) by the cases pending against him. How much money would any jury award a person who had been bankrupted or imprisoned by misconduct independent of what Biden said during the presidential debate?"

Add to that, he wrote Giuliani's lawyers may throw in the towel realizing they will be left with nothing to show for billable hours that looks to be a "fool's errand."

"I’d guess he isn’t paying the lawyers in the New Hampshire case, either; they’re probably handling the case on a contingency fee. Over time, as civil liability or a criminal conviction likely rain down on Giuliani, and the costs of pursuing the New Hampshire defamation case rack up, the lawyers may choose not to pursue the case any further," he wrote before adding, "Here's my prediction: Biden’s lawyers will stall the New Hampshire case for a couple of years, and Giuliani will later decide to dismiss that case, both because the case has little value and because Giuliani has more important things to worry about. The final score will be: Biden 1, Giuliani 0."
