Trump screws Giuliani
And not in the way you may think, so give your traumatized imagination a break.
Though Trump has been exceptionally furious with Vice President Pence, his relationship with lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, one of his most steadfast defenders, is also fracturing, according to people with knowledge of the dynamics between the men.
Trump has instructed aides not to pay Giuliani’s legal fees, two officials said, and has demanded that he personally approve any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on the president’s behalf to challenge election results in key states. They said Trump has privately expressed concern with some of Giuliani’s moves and did not appreciate a demand from Giuliani for $20,000 a day in fees for his work attempting to overturn the election.

IMO, Giuliani was one of the people Trump *did* pay. No way he'd be sweating hair dye & spouting verbal diarrhea on an IOU.
Giuliani has known Trump for a long time, knows that Trump's M.O. is to complain about services rendered and refuse to pay. IMO, Giuliani was getting paid up front and on a timely basis ... until now.

At this point you have to wonder why anyone would work for Trump in a paid position. He's been stiffing anyone he can since the 80s.

R14 I suspect it’s somewhere in between. If he’s been on retainer then it’s probably monthly.
So while Giuliani, who I expect will no doubt be disbarred, probably picked up a mountain of fees for what — a month? — the “legal work” he’s done more recently may not be paid for by his ghastly client.

Here is something especially delicious -- if Trump pardons Ghouliani it would make things worse for both of them.

But if he pardons Rudy, Rudy loses his Fifth Amendment right to non-self incrimination, and can be compelled to testify against Trump. If they catch him in a lie, the pardon can be nullified and Rudy prosecuted.
People around Trump are warning him about pardons of his inner circle for this reason. They've also told Trump that a self pardon is likely not going to withstand judicial review (John Roberts doesn't want to set the country down a path toward an unaccountable dictator), and Trump has allegedly said that if he doesn't get a pardon, no one will.
And you know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree; Junior, the stupid one and Javonka would throw dear Daddy under the bus faster than you can say "bankrupt".

I love that Trump is finally in a place where pardons/self-pardons will not get him out of the fire.
The only thing would be to resign and get pardoned by Pence. And that won't happen.
This is the major reason he is doing these hostage videos, it is his best (and only) way of forming any kind of defense. He is truly boxed in.

Amen to that, though it's disgusting its taken ALL of the things he's done to get us to this point; you'd think one or two terrible things would be enough...

He's alienated everyone and the only commodity he had left to sell was access to Dump. Without Dump, he is nothing and persona non grata (maybe even in FL). He is loathsome creep, but likely a very shrewd guy. Hopefully he'll engage a defense attorney and contact law enforcement and completely spill his guts about Dump & the whole family.

I figured Ghouliani was getting paid bigly by Trump, knowing his defense of the idiot-in-chief was steadily weakening his post 9/11 rep as "America's Mayor." His flailing attempts to overturn the election cemented his demise. A high price to pay. $20K a day is $600K a month or $7.2M a year, which means Trump got a bargain. Has Rudy ever admitted what "insurance" he has on Trump to insure he wouldn't turn on him? He said Trump would never be able to throw him under the bus like he was doing to others. Whatever it was, it must not matter now that Trump's been ruined.

Rudy claims the "insurance" comment was "sarcastic" and consists of files in his safe which lay out Biden's "four decades of monetizing of his office." Pivot/deflect bullshit. He's got something hot on Trump, though his insurance policy seems to have lapsed with recent events.
"The statement I’ve made several times of having an insurance policy, if thrown under bus, is sarcastic & relates to the files in my safe about the Biden Family’s 4 decade monetizing of his office.
If I disappear, it will appear immediately along with my RICO chart."

Trump also knows precisely why Giuliani turned a blind eye to his activities in the 80s when Rudy was at the Southern District of NY, and later as mayor. Rudy was paid off.

Oh definitely! Considering Trump Tower was an "all-concrete" building and the concrete biz is/was entirely controlled by the Mafia, Rudy turned a blind eye when he was going after the five families with the RICO Act.

There’s been a lot of talk in the past couple of years about Rudy having early stages of dementia. His ex-wife alluded to it in her divorce proceedings from him. Even the press a year or more ago asked Rudy if he thought Trump would ever use him as a fall guy. The idea was Trump would blame Rudy for everything because he didn’t disclose he had Alzheimer’s disease or some other issue. Stay tuned.

Just based on the stories about Rudy calling the wrong senator (multiple times) during the coup to try & get a hold of Tuberville, he *definitely* has dementia or some type of cognitive impairment. If you've ever had an elderly parent call you multiple times swearing someone stole their TV remote, cellphone, car keys, etc, you know exactly what I mean...

Trump could actually blame everything on Guiliani. Say it was Rudy who convinced him he had actually won the election and that votes were stolen. And now he realizes that was not the case. He never has to use the word lose.
He would get his pardon if he did it.
