A second lawyer for Rudy Giuliani is seeking to depart his legal team in Georgia, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News, a move that would appear to leave the former New York City mayor without any local lawyers in the state.

A motion to withdraw has been submitted to the clerk, the sources said. A judge in the case has to sign off on the motion.

News of the move comes after several other former attorneys of the Trump ally have sued Giuliani for failure to pay his bills, including his longtime friend and attorney Bob Costello, who sued Giuliani for over $1 million in payments due to his firm.

Earlier, an additional lawyer for Giuliani in Georgia, David Wolfe, submitted his own motion to withdraw from his representation of Giuliani.

1. that's nice.

[cactusfractal]

2. Awwww nt

[VMA131Marine]

3. Giuliani should be looking to make a deal

[machoneman]

4. Yeah, but w/o local counsel, this will delay the trial and final judgement on the Goon!

[Chainfire]

5. Public Defender...

Poor old Rudy sold himself down the river.

6. What happened to that fundraiser?

That Trump held for Giuliani?

I guess they didn't raise enough.

Giuliani ought to just do a plea deal and spill his guts.

9. Hahaha!

TFG probably kept all the money!

10. +1.

7. The rats are fleeing ..... it is clear that Willis' use of RICO charges are goin to "roll up" ....

.... the other 17 people that have been charged in the investigation of trying to flip the Georgia 2020
elections. And I think the lawyer might know that Rudy might not have the money to pay him after
Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss get their pound of flesh.

8. Can the court appoint

A public defender? That would be local representation.

11. I believe he would have to request it first,

and then prove he was financially indigent to qualify. Impoverished. I don't believe he can do that.

12. Although generally not advisable, a lawyer could normally represent himself

But with his troubles with the NY & DC bar suspensions, Rudy probably can't.
He's already violated their decrees with his media opinions on GA RICO ...

As for cutting a deal, Fani has already done that with most of the fake electors.
The balance of fake electors then turned on Trump.

Cutting a deal seems to make a bunch of sense under Rudy's financial and legal circumstances.
But his credibility would be a big liability.
And, he's probably one of the big fish Fani would like to nail.

The pressure is on because after one or two more flips which Fani is allegedly lobbying for, the deals offered won't be so hot.

Rudy's buddy Trump has lost financial control of his NY businesses while is campaign is out of cash due to all the legal fees he's racking up.

And Rudy hasn't even got a lawyer to represent him on making a potential deal ...

Justice (or Karma) is being done here to some extent ....

14. Apparently Giuliani is too drunk most of the time to represent himself in court.

That was also the case when he was "advising" Trump regarding the"stolen election." Apparently the prosecution may use this as evidence against Trump for relying on using someone he knew was incapacitated as cover for his illegal decisions.

[Martin68]

13. How sad! A lawyer without a lawyer. Up Shit Creek without a paddle.

[pfitz59]

15. Will he try the 'dementia defense'?

As many mobsters do?

[Vinca]

16. Pssst . . . Rudy . . . you're supposed to pay them.

[IcyPeas]

17. I guess that's why he is trying to sue Pres. Biden now for calling him a Russian pawn.

[MissMillie]

18. Are there even any points of law to argue in his defense?

I get that everyone is entitled to a defense... in fact it's one of the things I admire MOST about our legal system.

But what can anyone do for him?

19. there is always trial by combat
