"SNIP......

“As a federal investigation into Rudy Giuliani escalates, his advisers have been pressing aides to former President Donald 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 New York Times reports.

“The pressure from Mr. Giuliani’s camp has intensified since FBI 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.”

1. Not a good idea to stiff the guy who has the goods on you.

[ZonkerHarris]

2. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Rudy knows the money only flows one way with Trump. Ask anyone.

[SoonerPride]

3. Talk about barking up the deadbeat tree

Even if Trump had money he would stiff him.

But the big secret is he doesn’t even have any money anyway.

He is broke.

[3Hotdogs]

12. Kinda like my father, when I would ask him for money.

"Tell ya what, Roodee Hold your right hand out towards Donald and put your left hand under your ass and see which one gets filled the fastest."

[SergeStorms]

19. Oh, Drumpf has hundreds of millions....

in his coffers from his "stop the steal" grift. His brain-dead supporters sent him their egg money, just to placate the man they love.

Morons, every one.

4. If Trump doesn't pay Rudy, isn't Rudy more likely to sing like a canary?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

9. IQ45 is a pretty experienced Mob Boss, been doing this shit a long time ...

Pretty good chance he thinks Rudy has nothing on him that'll stick.

[Irish_Dem]

11. I agree Trump is a mob boss.

Perhaps Trump is threatening Rudy with some horrible consequences if he talks.
So the money is irrelevant.

Or as you say, Rudy doesn't have much on Trump.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

14. I'm sure Diaper Don is Mister 'will nobody rid me of this turbulent priest', cuz Cohen told us so

And Rudy's a fucking dumbass, sooooo ... yeah, my bet is on Trump hanging him out to dry.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yep. I think so too.

[wnylib]

21. Russians or the corrupt Ukranians

that Rudy and Manafort dealt with might make some threats to Rudy.

[Irish_Dem]

23. Rudy is probably in some degree of trouble from a variety of sources.

I wonder if he even realizes the danger he is in?

[wnylib]

27. If he does, the stress could kill him before he even has to face charges.

But I think he really doesn't know. During the first impeachment, when he was criticized for his work with the Ukranians, he said, "I'm the good guy here" as if he really believed in what he was doing

[Irish_Dem]

31. Right, he went off the rails some time ago.

He has no idea that he is in serious jeopardy right now.

[wnylib]

22. Rudy is a former federal prosecutor

who went after mobsters in the past. He might have something on Donny.

[Irish_Dem]

24. Exactly. Rudy having nothing on Trump is low probability.

But Trump has a way of avoiding consequences.
All those around him fall hard, but he skates.

[wnylib]

28. Yeah, but even teflon can get scratched.

[Irish_Dem]

29. I hope so.

[Mopar151]

5. He'd be smart to throw Rudy a bone or 2

But he's not so he won't....

[Bleacher Creature]

6. Oh, this is gonna get good! NT

[MontanaMama]

7. Hahaaahaaaaahahahaaa!

Oh Rudy. Dumbass. Traitor.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

8. "Why would I pay the covfefe boy, who I barely knew, really?" - the tangeranus (nt)

[Blue Owl]

10. The check is in Louis DeJoy's mail sorting system

[oasis]

20. lol

[keithbvadu2]

13. Well, it is a way to relabel hush money.

Well, it is a way to relabel hush money.

Or call it 'tuition' like Gaetz does.

[Wounded Bear]

15. Trump? Pay?

[UTUSN]

17. HAH!1

[Irish_Dem]

18. Interesting how many people cannot see the obvious outcome of any interaction

with Trump. They willing walk right into their worst nightmare.

[wnylib]

25. I suspect that it's not done willingly for some of them.

[Irish_Dem]

26. Good point

While some may be blinded by power and greed, others may be reluctant and have no good choices.

[SunSeeker]

30. LOL. Trump will never pay a dime. Rudy knows that. This is such a desperation move.

Rudy is flailing.



Maybe Rudy should ask for a public defender.

[C Moon]

32. This is a thing of beauty!
