    It wasn't he who suggested drinking bleach.

    Apparently Giuliani's lost his sense of smell.
    All those around him are jealous.

    Mnuchin cuts short overseas trip; Congress members call for Giuliani to be disbarred

    >>>

    Reps. Ted Lieu, D-Calif, and Mondaire Jones, D-N.Y., in a letter Saturday called on the New York State Bar Association to investigate President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani in order to disbar him.

    Their demands stem from Giuliani’s involvement in Wednesday’s deadly pro-Trump riots on Capitol Hill.

    Earlier in the day, before the mob stormed the Capitol, Giuliani had called for “trial by combat” to battle President-elect Joe Biden’s victory during a “Save America” rally in front of the White House.

    New York State Bar Association Launches Historic Inquiry Into Removing Trump Attorney Rudy Giuliani From Its Membership


    The New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) strongly condemned the violent uprising that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, orchestrated by individuals bent on subverting the will of the voters by disrupting the certification of the 2020 presidential election results.

    Thankfully, Congress overcame this assault and fulfilled its constitutional responsibility in certifying the Biden-Harris victory. However, we must address the root cause of this abhorrent incident, the blame for which lies first and foremost with President Donald Trump.


    But the president did not act alone. Hours before the angry mob stormed the Capitol walls, Trump’s personal attorney, Rudolph Giuliani, addressed a crowd of thousands at the White House, reiterating baseless claims of widespread election fraud in the presidential election and the Georgia U.S. Senate runoffs.


    “If we’re wrong, we will be made fools of, but if we’re right a lot of them will go to jail,” Mr. Giuliani said. “Let’s have trial by combat.”

    I would imagine Rudi be looking at charges of inciting an insurrection along with Don's favorite son. I fooking can't wait.

    Donald Trump just pushed Rudy Giuliani under the bus



    He turns on everyone eventually.

    The "he" is, of course President Donald Trump. And the everyone is, well, everyone -- but in this case Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City who has risen to infamy in recent years as the President's personal lawyer.

    In the wake of his second impeachment at the hands of the House on Wednesday, Trump told people around him to stop paying Giuliani's legal fees. As CNN reported on Thursday morning:
    "Trump has been blaming his longtime personal attorney and many others for the predicament he now finds himself in, though he has not accepted any responsibility in public or in private, people familiar with his reaction told CNN. Giuliani is still expected to play a role in Trump's impeachment defense but has been left out of most conversations thus far."

    Seeking to do a bit of damage control Donald Trump Trump aide Jason Miller tweeted this out: "Just spoke with President Trump, and he told me that @RudyGiuliani is a great guy and a Patriot who devoted his services to the country! We all love America's Mayor!"

    (It may be worth noting here that Trump has been de-platformed from Twitter.)

    Trump's Miller's denial aside, the withholding of money from people performing a service for him is a long-standing Trump tactic. It's, well, sort of his thing.

    As USA Today wrote in 2016:

    "Donald Trump often portrays himself as a savior of the working class who will "protect your job." But a USA TODAY NETWORK analysis found he has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades — and a large number of those involve ordinary Americans, like the Friels, who say Trump or his companies have refused to pay them.

    "At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments, and other government filings reviewed by the USA TODAY NETWORK, document people who have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work. Among them: a dishwasher in Florida. A glass company in New Jersey. A carpet company. A plumber. Painters. Forty-eight waiters. Dozens of bartenders and other hourly workers at his resorts and clubs, coast to coast. Real estate brokers who sold his properties. And, ironically, several law firms that once represented him in these suits and others."

    What's 60 lawsuits between friends people you owe money and refuse to pay!

    Trump's attempts to penalize -- in a pecuniary fashion -- Giuliani is simply one of the latest examples of how, in the end, Trump casts out everyone who has ever been loyal to him.
    Giuliani, who two decades ago was among the most popular politicians in the country and who, had he never gotten wrapped up with Trump, would have had a legacy as "America's Mayor" following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, has forever tarnished how he will be remembered by the public.

    Rather than the face of America's resolve in the face of terrorism, Giuliani is now known as the steady presence at Trump's side -- sweating and spouting increasingly wild conspiracy theories while his hair dye runs down his temple.

    And for what? To be cast aside and blamed by Trump for something -- impeachment for inciting a riot -- that Giuliani could not have prevented had he wanted to?

    Trump, you see, is incapable of self-reflection. Or of accepting blame. Therefore he is endlessly in search of scapegoats for any "wrong" that befalls him. Nothing is ever his fault. It is always the fault of those who have somehow betrayed him. And everyone -- with the notable exception of those to whom he is related by blood and marriage -- eventually betrays him.
    The rise and fall of Giuliani would be tragic if the former mayor hadn't had so much agency in his demise.

    Giuliani, having spent decades in the same New York City orbit as Trump, knew exactly who the President was -- and is. Why then would Giuliani subject himself to the whims of Trump, knowing that, eventually, he would be the one to be pushed in front of the bus? Relevance, mostly. Giuliani's moment in the national spotlight had largely passed after his failed 2008 presidential bid. He had become the thing he feared most: A has-been.

    Enter Trump, who a) Giuliani had long known and b) needed all the help he could get. And so, Giuliani made the deal -- relevance (and some form of power and influence) in exchange for spending the years he was close to Trump in a defensive crouch -- waiting until it was his day to be the scapegoat.

    That day has now come. But none of us -- least of all Giuliani -- should be surprised. This is who Trump is. This is what he does.

    ...precisely why he should have insisted on a full retainer fee before starting all the legal shenanigans...unless the money wasn't as important as the media exposure...

    Or the infinitesimal part of him that remembers something about the law thinks a pardon might be very handy in about a week.

    guaranteed.
    the only way we'll know who's holding one is if/when they're indicted on federal charges.

    ...given the nature of those on the pardon list, I expect we'll see their names in the news at some point: grifters, war criminals, and thugs of all stripes don't normally change felonious behavior when it's all they know...

    Dominion Voting Systems files $1.3B defamation suit against Giuliani

    Dominion Voting Systems on Monday filed a lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani alleging that the former New York City mayor spread numerous defamatory statements about the voting machine company while he helped lead former President Trump’s failed post-election legal campaign.


    The company is seeking $1.3 billion in damages over what it called a “viral disinformation campaign,” alleging that Giuliani made malicious false accusations against Dominion, including that the company had engaged in voting fraud and election fixing.


    “For Dominion — whose business is producing and providing voting systems for elections — there are no accusations that could do more to damage Dominion’s business or to impugn Dominion’s integrity, ethics, honesty, and financial integrity,” reads the 107-page complaint filed in federal court in Washington, D.C.
