The former New York City Mayor, Trump lawyer and US Attorney for the Southern District of New York is in the target hairs of the same US Attorney Office he ran….And he has Civil suits against him also…
He’s hired lawyer’s to help him stay out of being convicted of doing things he should not have done to help Donald Trump stay in office ….And have his bank account and apartment seized….
Rudy ain’t rich…
His former client Trump is supposed to be….
Rudy & Co. would like some payback for his support in the form of $$$….
We’ll see how this goes….
(Rudy has been a hot mess for the last few months…Trump actually had to place some space between himself and the guy a few months ago)
Donald Trump isn’t about helping ANYBODY but HIMSELF….
Of course?
Rudy COULD always sing about stuff he knows to the Fed’s if things get THAT dire for him?
As a federal investigation into Rudolph W. Giuliani escalates, his advisers have been pressing aides to former President Donald J. Trump to reach into a $250 million war chest to pay Mr. Giuliani for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election on Mr. Trump’s behalf.
The pressure from Mr. Giuliani’s camp has intensified since F.B.I. agents executed search warrants at Mr. Giuliani’s home and office last week, according to people familiar with the discussions, and comes as Mr. Giuliani has hired new lawyers and is facing his own protracted — and costly — legal battles.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have been examining communications between Mr. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer, and Ukrainian officials as he tried to unearth damaging information about President Biden before the election. The prosecutors are investigating whether Mr. Giuliani lobbied the Trump administration on behalf of Ukrainian officials who were helping him, a potential violation of federal law.
Mr. Giuliani, who has not been charged, has denied any wrongdoing and denounced the searches as “corrupt.” The actions in Ukraine were part of Mr. Trump’s first impeachment trial.
Separately, Mr. Giuliani is being sued for defamation by two voting machine companies, Dominion and Smartmatic, for his false claimsthat the companies were involved in a conspiracy to flip votes to Mr. Biden.
Mr. Giuliani led the effort to subvert the results of the 2020 race in a series of battleground states, but he was not paid for the work, according to people close to both Mr. Giuliani and Mr. Trump. His supporters now want the Trump campaign to tap into the $250 million it raised in the weeks after the election to pay Mr. Giuliani and absorb costs he has incurred in the defamation suits.
“I want to know what the GOP did with the quarter of $1 billion that they collected for the election legal fight,” Bernard Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner, wrote on Twitter on Sunday. Mr. Giuliani appointed Mr. Kerik when he was mayor of New York.
Using expletives, Mr. Kerik added that “lawyers and law firms that didn’t do” much work were paid handsomely, while those who worked hard “got nothing.”….
Note…
Kerik, a former NYPD Commissioner, spent some time in jail for some issues he had after 9/11….

Opinion: What Trump has to fear from Rudy Giuliani
To borrow the infamous line of his ex-presidential ex-client, it looks like Rudolph W. Giuliani is “going to go through some things.” Like possibly being charged with a crime. Worse, some people who might have tried to save him from that fate might have actually guaranteed it.
In law and in life, things have a way of coming full circle. The quoted words come from the former president’s supposedly “perfect” phone call with Ukraine’s president, and described what could happen to the American ambassador there, Marie L. Yovanovitch. It was Giuliani’s relentless efforts that got her recalled.
Now that’s what might land poor Giuliani in the dock. Last week, the FBI showed up at his apartment at dawn, armed with a search warrant that reportedly focused on Yovanovitch’s firing. Questions the seized materials might answer: On whose behalf was Giuliani acting? Just Donald J. Trump, legal client? Or was Giuliani also representing Ukrainian officials who wanted the corruption-fighting diplomat gone?….

If, as reported, Giuliani has to pressure Trump to help with Giuliani’s legal bills, Trump would be wise to overcome his usual instinct to stiff those who work for him or contract with him lest Giuliani put Trump in further peril.
If Borat’s daughter could convince Giuliani that she was a reporter who has an interest in him, then surely Trump can convince Giuliani that he will take care of him.
