'Tragic flaw': Writer absolves Trump from any part in Giuliani's catastrophic downfall

Rudy Giuliani has fallen far from the days when he was heralded as "America's Mayor," especially since he's been bankrupted by an order to pay $148 million to two Georgia election workers he defamed during his effort to help Donald Trump overturn the 2020 election results.

While many say Giuliani's downfall was directly a result of him aligning himself with Trump, The Telegraph's David Lewis Schaefer contends that it was his own doing.

Five unresolved questions surrounding the Jan. 6 attack

America is coming up on the three-year anniversary of the day former President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol. The attack upended the orderly and peaceful transfer of presidential power to Joe Biden during Congress’ certification of the 2020 election and ultimately resulted in the loss of seven lives and dozens of injuries to law enforcement officers.

The FBI has arrested more than 1,200 people on federal charges related to the siege of the Capitol. The leaders of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys — two far-right extremist groups — are already serving long prison sentences for seditious conspiracy, and hundreds of others have pleaded guilty or been convicted by juries on various charges.

Watch: Ex-federal prosecutor predicts Jack Smith will 'absolutely' indict 6 Trump allies

Although special counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis are both prosecuting election interference cases against former President Donald Trump, their criminal indictments differ in some important ways.

Willis, unlike Smith, is using RICO laws to prosecute Trump. And Willis has indicted a long list of Trump allies as co-defendants. Smith's election interference case, so far, doesn't have any indicted co-defendants — only unindicted alleged co-conspirators.

'A big fat money judgment' against Trump is headed his way: former prosecutor

Now that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals has denied a request by Donald Trump to delay his defamation civil suit trial filed by E. Jean Carroll, the trial is set to begin in just over two weeks — and the former president is expected to lose and hand over millions more to the New York City writer.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Friday, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner was asked how he expects it to play out. He speculated that the former president could be on the hook for double the $5 million he has already been ordered to pay in the first defamation trial.

Speaking with host Alex Witt, he stated, "We should watch for a big fat money judgment entered by the jury against Donald Trump."

"This is 'The Defamation Case: The Sequel,'" he joked before continuing, " when after a jury found that Donald Trump not only sexually-battered, but defamed E. Jean Carroll, and he went out and did it all over again. Rudy Giuliani taking a page from Donald Trump's playbook did the same thing and defamed the Georgia state election workers on the courthouse steps."

"This seems to be a play that they're running over and over again, but it's not a winning play: their luck will run out. The walls are closing in certainly in this case, and I think the jury awarded an aggregate $5 million the first time around. I would look for double that this time around," he elaborated, to which host Alex Witt could only add, "Wow."
