When the former NY mayor tried to make the president’s case alleging voter fraud in a Pennsylvania courtroom the other day, the ineptitude of his performance equaled the head-scratching ridiculousness of his client’s arguments.
As reported in the Evening Standard, Giuliani not only “mistook the judge for a federal judge in a separate Pennsylvania district who rejected a separate Trump campaign case.” He also “tripped himself up over the meaning of ‘opacity.’”
“In the plaintiffs’ counties, they were denied the opportunity to have an unobstructed observation and ensure opacity,” Mr Giuliani said. “I’m not quite sure I know what opacity means. It probably means you can see, right?
‘It means you can’t,’ said U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann.
‘Big words, your honour,’ Mr Giuliani said.”
It is easy to see that the president exercised his well-known visual acuity in his choice of legal counsel to press his opaquely reasoned case for ballot abnegation. An entirely fitting coda, hopefully, for a shoddy symphony that’s droned on for far too long.
