Only the beginning, I'm sure.

(Reuters) - Two Georgia election workers who were the target of vote-rigging conspiracy theories have sued the far-right One America News Network, its top executives, and former President Donald Trump's ex-lawyer Rudy Giuliani for allegedly spreading lies about them.

The defamation lawsuit was filed on Thursday in federal court in Washington, D.C., by Wandrea "Shaye" Moss, a voter registration officer in Fulton County, and her mother, Ruby Freeman, who was a temp worker for the 2020 election.

The lawsuit targets San Diego-based Herring Networks, which owns and operates One America News Network, as well as the channel's chief executive Robert Herring, president Charles Herring, and reporter Chanel Rion.

Giuliani, Trump's former personal lawyer, was also named as a defendant. Giuliani has frequently appeared on OAN's programs and has been one of the biggest promoters of Trump's false claims that voter fraud cost him the 2020 election.

The complaint alleges that OAN broadcast stories in which Moss and Freeman were falsely accused of conspiring to produce secret batches of illegal ballots and running them through voting machines to help then-candidate Joe Biden defeat Trump.

And they'll win the lawsuit.

And they deserve to drive Giulani and all those who mercilessly pursued them (including Trump, who attacked them by name) into prison.

Well, it's a civil suit -- nothing at stake but money damages.

judge determines poll workers entitled to see giuliani's finances in defamation case after his hot mess fails to provide information and he declares he cannot afford the $320K the vendor' wants to charge him to allow it.

While the court session explored a variety of issues about evidence in the case, much of the focus was on Giuliani’s claim in a recent court filing that he could not perform further searches of emails and other records stored in an electronic database because the vendor was seeking $320,000 to allow that. The former mayor, U.S. Attorney and Justice Department official said he simply could not afford that sum.

Howell said Giuliani’s “claim of poverty” meant that the plaintiffs were entitled to insight into his finances.

An attorney for Giuliani, Joseph Sibley, said the plaintiffs should not be provided some personal information, like court filings detailing Giuliani’s obligations in his 2019 divorce from his third wife, Judith Nathan.

But Howell said the plaintiffs were entitled to know about Giuliani’s financial condition, including the divorce-related payments, before deciding whether to help foot the bill for document searches in the case. Typically, parties must handle their own costs to comply with discovery obligations

Rudy (believe it or not I am an attorney) Giuliani is dead-beat and stiffing his defense lawyer in one of his defamation cases. No more; said lawyer has quit.

How long before Bruce Castor (who was hired to defend a MAGA Attorney who Got an Attorney) has an Attorney to sue Trump's MAGA Attorney who defamed a poll worker in order to help Trump overturn an election?

My brain hurts, I need to lie down.
