This is known as chewing the wrong leg off to escape the trap. Giuliani is up against it on discovery orders (basically orders to turn over documents/information) and is squiritng squid ink (sorry to mix zoological metaphors) to escape. Except that won't work. He's admitted to the plaintiff's case, but says the First Amendment protects him even from his slanders. Although, even under Sullivan, it doesn't. (His "confession" is trying to tell the court: "I concede the plaintiff's case, now let's talk about my defense (and forget that matter of the non-compliance with the Court's orders)." Yeah; it doesn't work that way.)Big concession: Rudy’s conceding facts that prove “intentional infliction of emotional distress” means he is conceding BOTH falsity and his bad intent at the time. This won’t forestall more discovery to plaintiffs, tho, which was Rudy’s goal. https://t.co/mKO642S5dl

I'm old enough to remember when Giuliani was so respected as a lawyer they changed the name of Bracewell and Patterson to Bracewell and Giuliani when he joined. You won't find the firm under that name anymore. They changed that a long time ago.
Speaking of squid ink:
Although I think of Trump as the fella in the round room told to go pee in the corner.I’m sure Jack Smith will give that the weight and consideration it deserves. pic.twitter.com/pLefvqE3Sg

Except Trump will never metaphorically gnaw a leg off; to do so would be to admit he stepped into the trap. He did; but he can never admit it. So he just runs 'round and 'round the room, screaming. His prospects of success are: nil.
