It gets worse for Guiliani



‘I wouldn’t give him a nickel’: one-time Giuliani donors rule out legal aid

“I wouldn’t give him a nickel,” the investor Leon Cooperman told CNBC. “I’m very negative on Donald Trump. It’s an American tragedy. [Rudy] was ‘America’s mayor’. He did a great job. And like everybody else who gets involved with Trump, it turns to shit.”

Brian France, a former Nascar chief executive, was slightly more conciliatory. But he told the same outlet his wallet was staying shut: “I was a major supporter of Rudy in 2008 and at other times. I’m not sure what happen[ed] but I miss the old Rudy. I’m wishing him well.”

Donald Trump happened to Rudy.

Jack Smith's Team Grilled Witnesses About Rudy Giuliani's Drinking

Special Counsel Jack Smith's interest in Rudy’s drinking could play a role in undermining one of Trump’s key legal defenses
www.rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com

This is relevant to Trump's defence because
Here’s the thing: For an advice of counsel defense to stick, a defendant needs to satisfy a few key elements. One of them is that the client (here, Trump) needs to have made full disclosure of all the material facts to the lawyer. And that generally requires the lawyer to have actually fully understood what was conveyed.

It’s not hard to see why laying out all the facts to a lawyer blitzed off his ass would fail to qualify here. “I told my lawyer, but he was drunk” is likely not an effective advice of counsel defense.
Click to expand...
A client also must also prove that he was acting in good faith by reasonably following that lawyer’s advice. Again, it’s not generally good faith to rely upon the advice of a lawyer whom you know to be drunk. On Election Night, for example, it was an allegedly soused Giuliani who advised Trump to go out and declare victory early, even while everyone else was frantically giving Trump the nix sign. If your drunk counsel advises something like that, while everyone else who is sober in the room pleads with you not to do it, it’s simply not good faith to follow the one drunk lawyer’s advice.

The Trials and Tribulations of Rudy Giuliani

Two stories leapt out of the news this week on the man once known as “America’s Mayor,” and now better known for his bonkers presser at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

I'm just going to wait for the opera.

Not the documentary. Not the movie. Not even a Shakespearean* tragedy can serve him justice, he ascends the worst of Shakespeares villains in his greed and cruelty. He needs to be portrayed as the fat man singing as Lancasterins (or should it be Parliamentarians?) crowd in to stab him on the edge of a burning volcano.

I really need to read through Shakespeare, I haven't since high school and he is a touchstone for understanding the world we live in. Any cheap, annotated recommendations?

I'll settle for a crucified Trump fade out while he sings "always look on the bright side of life."

I wonder how much of that real estate is tied up in loan debt?

Amanda Marcotte, in her newsletter, makes some very good points, I think:

One of the more aggravating media clichés about Trump is that he’s “cheap.” I mean, it’s true that he has a long history of cheating contractors or otherwise not paying people, for the sheer sociopathic thrill of screwing them over. But it’s one thing to refuse to pay bills because you’re a monster who enjoys making powerless people beg you for money. It’s quite another thing for Trump, who acts only out of self-interest, to withhold money from people who have every incentive to turn on him if he doesn’t pay.

People like Giuliani or Jenna Ellis, for instance, who could turn state’s witness at the drop of a hat. Or his own lawyers, who he needs to stick around if he wants to stay out of jail. And frankly, if Trump is a billionaire like he claims, it’s plain weird that he used a bail bondsman. For a real billionaire, the difference between $20K and $200K is like the difference between a nickel and a dime for ordinary people. You’d pay the full amount just to avoid the bureaucratic headaches.

And while “cheap” sort of explains why Trump is paying his lawyers from campaign funds instead of his own supposedly thick wallet, that runs into an obvious problem: Money spent on lawyers is not going to the actual campaign. Since Trump’s “plan” to avoid prison is to win (or steal) the White House, it’s arguable this isn’t saving him money at all.

I think the answer is obvious: He’s not just cheap. He’s broke. Who knows where all his money goes, but the public documentation suggests the second he gets a dime, he goes a quarter in debt. Now New York prosecutors have shown he exaggerated his wealth by at least $2.2 billion, mainly to trick banks into giving him more money to set on fire.

His lawyers likely know this, which is why they value public theatrics over good legal maneuvering. The former gets MAGA idiots to donate more money. If the lawyers leave it to Trump to pay them, they know they won’t see a dime.

Trump's deposition in the civil fraud case that NY Attorney General Letitia James is bringing against him suggests that his performance as a witness in the various criminal trials he's facing may be ... interesting.
