Giuliani struggling under massive legal bills after defending Trump - Lemmy.world

Rudy Giuliani is staring down hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills and sanctions amid numerous lawsuits in addition to the new criminal charges – related to his work for Donald Trump after the 2020 election.

Wonder what the Russians have on him. Must be good to make him try and stand in front of a freight train.
My theory: CP, like trumps piss video - the piss was not the problem but the age of the pissers was.
Probably a lot of dirt in the news helping them take down the Italian mob of New York so the Russian mob could take over.
You know I was just thinking, that’s sort of exactly what happened.
Is there anywhere good I can read about this?
here's a Newsweek article on it that I skimmed the first few paragraphs of. Google likely has more info that I'm too lazy to dig out at the moment.
Trump Lawyer Rudy Giuliani's Mysterious Ties to Russia and Former Soviet Union Go Back Decades, Experts Argue

Giuliani's ties to the former Soviet Union go back to the 1990s.

Newsweek
Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
“Just keep giving them the benefit of the doubt!”

I was going to say ‘Would a Russian handler let Rudy do a presser at ‘Four Seasons Lawn Care,’ next to the porn palace?’

Then I remembered this Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Some of the other stuff that has come out recently (and the Borat sequel hotel scene) make it look like Ghouliani is a rapist or a diddler / both

Would not be shocked if the russians have diddler dirt on him

Probable. Russian friends in NYC probably provided girls to him and covertly filmed it. I wonder if we will ever know for sure.
The post right above this “After Years of Spreading Lies, Election Deniers Face Consequences” …seems like it.
Can he struggle in jail too, or is that too much to ask?
Couldn’t be happening to a better person-like ghoul.
I’m sure he can still get a discount at the Four Seasons…
Four seasons file hosting, search, and criminal lawyer service.

Rudy will fight this all the way to the Supreme Courtyard by Marriott!

Goddamm that is good joke. Stealing that.
Money is the least of his worries. He’s going to prison.

When the FBI seized several of his cell phones in April 2021 in a now-closed investigation, much of Giuliani’s electronic records were held on a database operated by a company called Trustpoint.One. But they were archived, and running searches on files the company held for more recent litigation isn’t cheap. Even  hosting his records with the company costs $20,000 a month, according to a recent court filing.

No sympathy at all to the drunk fool, but why is it so expensive?

The price is set at what the market will bear, and they’re a “Cadillac” service (e.g. aimed at high-income, white-glove-style clientele) per their “About Us” page

In his case it doesn’t seem like the best choice.

And often it’s the same as the regular version, except issues get bumped in priority and maybe a extra tech support person.
And your manager freaks out when one of them calls and demands anything. I used to work in a vaguely similar support role, though probably with fewer zeros attached.
When you can’t beat your political opposition, cheat and prosecute them!

4 indictments (so far), 94 charges (so far), RICO charges, many of us watched in realtime as all this dumb shit was happening as it was fucking obvious, overwhelming proof, even his own people have turned on him, now law and order is coming for him and his useful idiots.

I’m sure your either a paid troll, or a pol/ edgelord troll, or perhaps someone who has been a victim of the propaganda machine - this post is hoping you have just been a victim of the rightwing outrage and misinformation media industrial complex, and I hope you get better

But they did lose. That’s what the Georgia prosection is all about.
That does seem to be the Republican strategy. Well, prosecute your opposition’s children anyway. But it doesn’t seem to be working out the way they’d hoped.
“Lock her up”
Go to bed Rudy you’re drunk again 🤣
Well, Biden did beat Trump, but Giuliani isn’t running for anything so he’s not the opposition.
Yet somehow he still has a spokesperson.

I would agree to be his spokesperson for 20 dollars a pop and bottle of jack.

I promise to exceed the standards he has come to expect from his spokespeople.

He should get LegalEagle to pay for another congrats video!

I Tricked Rudy Giuliani.

Let me get my violin out.
Couldn’t have happened to a more melt into a black puddle kinda guy.
I don’t understand why he doesn’t just ask Trump for the money? It’s not like Trump has a history of stiffing and being cheap? I’m sure Trump will give G the money to keep him quiet. It’s not like Trump will throw G under the bus the moment it’s beneficial.

Trump has been shooting himself in the foot forever. Here’s my favorite Trump story.

The tl, dr is that he built Trump Tower to become beloved of the Manhattan elites. He acted like a big baby and made them hate him.

How Donald Trump Took Down Bonwit Teller, A Fifth Avenue Landmark

When a young Donald Trump wanted to locate his Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, he targeted and purchased the famous Bonwit Teller apparel store. But the store's demolition drew controversy as several pieces of art, destined for the Met, were destroyed to cut costs.

Forbes

He did literally beg him, in person, with his attorney present:

That’s alright, he’s going to have a nice little place to live with meals the rest of his live shortly and then he won’t have to worry about his finances

In the Game of Thrones you either win, or you get fux0r3d newb.
Brought down by his own hubris and greed.

Who’s willing to bet that if it does start to look bad, this guy will suddenly appear as a frail old man in too bad shape to properly face justice. No more make-up or hairdye.

Reminds me of a Pink Floyd lyric: _ And when you loose control, you’ll reap the harvest you have sown And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone And it’s too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone Dragged down by the stone_

From the best Floyd album, imo.
Maybe he can make some money doing stand up with his hilarious asian person impression
Rudy Giuliani staffers accidentally upload video of him being racist

Extended version of podcast interview appeared to be uploaded by mistake by Republican’s staffers

The Independent
Good. He fucked around, and now he’s finding out.
I loved his work on Borat 2

Oh nooooooo.

Anyway…

I put money on Rudy and Jenna to flip first, if they haven’t already, on Trump.
I hope not. Giuliani deserves to rot in prison
Oh he’s going to jail, but he’s going to do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn’t take all the heat.
