    Something something directed verdict default judgement. I don’t think Guiliani comported with his discovery obligations (didn’t hand over requested evidence and documents) so there doesn’t seem to have been much or a defense.

    If you don’t defend yourself show up to court or you refuse to play the game at all, you’ve in some sense waived all that and you don’t get any of the fruits of those benefits
