Rudy Giuliani's bizarre behavior in court appears to be a deliberate attempt to provoke contempt proceedings against himself, defying legal repercussions for his actions.
In his defense, Giuliani improperly tried to shift blame to his former attorneys, claiming he relied on them to comply with discovery demands without willfully disobeying court orders.
Judge Liman questioned Giuliani's claims of compliance, noting that his former attorneys had left due to overwhelming pressures from the plaintiffs' motions.
The situation reflects a significant misunderstanding by Giuliani of attorney-client privilege, as invoking prior counsel's advice opened the door to unseal their motions and declarations.
