That number seems low. I think it’s missing a zero or two.

Guiliani would be a terrible client for the same reason Trump is — he constantly lies and is insane.

Possibly worse, because as an attorney, he will insist on being involved in every part of his case.

Imagine trying to craft a defense strategy for a guy who has no ability to manage himself and who refuses to stop engaging in criminal behavior. Your only choice would be an incompetence defense, and that won’t fly.

I heard the only lawyer who would agree to represent Giuliani was Sean Penn’s character from “Carlito’s Way”.

It’s hard exactly to tell what’s going on with the fatty folded thing inside of Trump’s head, but Rudolph Giuliani seems to me to be several steps down the path to senility. You don’t become a US Attorney, even a bad or corrupt or seedy one, in the state he is in. If anybody close to him cared about Rudes, they would have removed him from the public eye some years ago, and kept him from doing damage to himself.

I guess they don’t. Sad.

A good attorney knows what they don’t know and lets the experts handle what they need to handle. He’s just a lying asshole and they don’t want to deal with the ethics nightmare.

He should hang out in ERs more, lots of good lawyers to be found there. Also, subway ads, late night TV ads, Jacoby OR Myers, etc. Oh yeah, Jeanine Pirro would be a GREAT lawyer for him.

He also couldn’t find a new paper bag that could hold all the singles and fives.

Or in the middle of a meeting, gets up every few minutes to commit yet more crimes and confirm upcoming “massage” sessions. Because of course he would.
