Ex-New York mayor last of 17 defendants to be served in plot to overturn Donald Trump’s election loss to Joe Biden in 2020

Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani  is the last of 17 defendants to be served an indictment in Arizona’s fake-elector case for his role in an attempt to overturn former president Donald Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election, the Arizona attorney general said.

Kris Mayes posted the news regarding the Trump-aligned lawyer on her X account late Friday.

“The final defendant was served moments ago. @RudyGiuliani nobody is above the law,” Mayes wrote.

The attorney general’s spokesperson, Richie Taylor, said in an email to the Associated Press on Saturday that Giuliani faces the same charges as the other defendants, including conspiracy, fraud and forgery charges.

Another post about this which doesn't talk about why this is so fucking funny. I'm going to repost what I posted in the previous thread:

The comedy:

  1. He mocked Arizona attorney general for not serving him the papers in a Twitter post.
  2. The Arizona attorney general then served him the papers about an hour later.
  3. Giuliani deleted the post, but the attorney general took a screenshot and posted it along with saying that he had been served.
  4. This happened on Giuliani’s 80th birthday.
  5. At his birthday party.

6 The Marshal sang happy birthday before serving him

[–] Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 months ago

Oh god, I hope he told him it was his birthday gift from the AG.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago

And this is legit funny

There's a lot of plastic surgery in that picture.

If you're a woman and you start looking old, Fox stops putting you on the air.

Being blonde also helps.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Beautiful to see, isn't it?

[–] Huckledebuck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

That looks like the same guy that the other commenter said is the Marshall. Is that true?

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

You gotta not fuck up every day to not get served if they are looking for you.

The AG only needs to wait patiently for that 1 fuck up.

Sometimes, the AG gets it all wrapped up like a nice birthday present.

[–] halferect@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I mean Rudy was on his podcast telling people his location for weeks so the fuck up was Rudy taunting the AG not so much that Rudy was hiding and the AG couldn't find him.

He’ll escape justice when he melts in the AZ heat and reconstitutes outside the jail

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

the trail of hair grease will make it obvious where he went. then they lock him up in a fishtank.

Sir, you're just upset because you're a head in a jar

[–] Flying_Hellfish@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Please don't waste precious opalesence on him.

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think I'm too dumb to understand what you mean by this. Sorry.

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

In the Futurama universe, they claim powdered crystalline opal is used to keep the heads alive in their jars.

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I literally never knew that. What episode is that lore from?

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Season 6, Episode 23. "All the President's Heads."

Beware. There are some truly heinous British accents.

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! Definitely going to have to watch this today. I know I've seen this episode, but I have absolutely no memory of that explanation.

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Probably because of the terrible British accents. Have fun! There's a couple lines in it I still quote.

[–] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Okay, once I started watching it I definitely remembered that episode. It's a good episode too, thanks for reminding me!

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't his bones fall out? He'd have to steal another ill-fitting set of teeth from someone else's grave.

[–] Ioughttamow@kbin.run 11 points 5 months ago

Hey I’m just a regular dude. Don’t know that much about the physiology of the oozelings

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He deserves a pat on the back.

Nice and firm.

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

On the edge of a tall cliff.

[–] TomSelleck@lemm.ee 32 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They found him. I don’t think he was ever truly missing. It sounds like he was just refusing to leave the house because he knew they were waiting.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 14 points 5 months ago

Lawl. The mental image of him with a 4-day beard, in a house coat, staring through cheap horizontal blinds to check to see if people are coming is too much
