1. When dealing with TFG, always get paid in full up front.

Eastman is likely to be disbarred, maybe go to prison, and he didn't even get paid. Quelle dommage.

[PJMcK]

16. Should those things happen...

... all will be good in the world.

Eastman is a traitorous and knowing criminal. He'll end up with a ruined life, thanks to his affiliation with Trump.

The same will be true for Giuliani. I read that his alimony check to his third wife bounced and she's suing him for $240,000 in late payments and interest.

All of these "smart" guys lose their minds when the work for Trump. I guess they're not so "smart" after all.

2. And he would still vote for him.

My supposition, not factual.

3. I doubt if Chump paid Rudy, or Sidney Powell, or any of those insurrection lawyers

Why would he? He probably thought they were "volunteering."

4. Well

The only people that could deal with that guy was the mob back in the day and he wouldn't dare fuck with them because he knew he'd be wearing cement over shoes at the bottom of the Hudson. Everybody else was on their own and they were going to get fucked if they dealt with that asshole.

8. He did this with a startup florist or caterer

I think at Maralago. She called to get paid. He told her she could use his name in advertising and that alone was worth more than actual cash.

Multiple other examples but that one stuck with me.

18. When he was first running, he'd had over 3000 legal cases on his record.

Many of them were suits and countersuits filed not just against but by him to attack those he owed, both large businesses and very small, who were trying to get him to pay his debts, forcing them to run up costs until they couldn't afford to continue.

SOP. A big part of Michael Cohen's job was making people like the caterer understand that their choice was to go away or have tRump use his power to ruin them for life.

21. He used to have a picture of Roy Cohn in his desk

Do you want THIS GUY to come after you?

Intimated people who couldn’t fight him and then circle back and punch down on them, often publicly.

19. You're probably thinking of the caterer

who did his wedding to Marla Maples. He told her the PR was her payment.

[underpants]

20. Okay. Yeah that's probably it.

[Demobrat]

22. That poor woman had to pay her employees and suppliers.

Last I heard she was on the verge of losing everything. I have often thought of her and hoped she was okay.

[Srkdqltr]

5. Of course he did.

6. Who knew? There's no money in failed sedition.

[sdfernando]

7. ttdfg only pays people when the succeed at what he wants them to do

...and even then its only pennies on the dollar because you can put that feather in your cap. They don't realize that isn't a feather but a huge stinking turd.

9. Maybe we should have a law that says

if the client doesn't pay his attorney for services rendered, there is no attorney-client privilege covering those services. That should motive clients acting in bad faith to be sure attorney fees are paid! Just throwing ideas out there.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

10. Who is surprised by this?

TFG is a horrible client. He does not follow legal advice and he stiffs attorneys Right now, TFG is being represented by some third tier lawyers whose office are in shopping centers

[gab13by13]

11. The RNC is paying his legal fees now,

probably the only way he can get a lawyer.

12. Eastman claims to be owed $270,000

17. That's over twice what Stormy got!!!

For similar services...

[TheRealNorth]

13. He may be getting paid in other ways...

Ie deposit box at the Bank of Cyprus etc.

14. You knew I was a snake, when you took me in.

[Bayard]

15. What is the fee for sedition advice?
