I hope Trump is looking at what is happening to Ghouliani and thinking “that will be me next.” And still Trump will stiff Ghouliani on his legal bills.

Karma can be a bitch. And predictable, too.

Well, he no longer needs the IT guy he hired to help him with managing his phones and computers. That job’s been outsourced to the DOJ.

Gosh, ever since I heard that Trump refused to pay his lawyer, I’ve had trouble sleeping at night. Poor Rudy.

Mystery to me why Giuliani didn’t insist on a retainer of $500,000, to be topped up weekly, to “represent” Trump. Anyone who reads a newspaper knows Trump loves to stiff his contractors.

Staffers rejoice in being released from Ghoulie bondage.

Wonder what Ghoulie us going to do with all those landscaping contracts? That grass isn’t going to cut itself.

Too bad about the layoffs - since the larger the organization - the more eyes and ears witness Rudy’s insanity… and then the more leaks … and the greater difficulty in finding & fixing the leaks.
But… this can also accelerate the use of various “knowledge” about various transgressions.

The problem is with revenue, his “consulting” business, why would anyone hire him? He has no longer hs any influence, and any association with him is going to make anyone look bad in the eyes of the current administration. The @$$hole went for the fence with Trump, and struck out.

Anyone working for Nosferatu at this point is either a crook or an imbecile.

Screw 'em, let these douche nozzles sample the unemployment that ordinary Americans faced because of Trump’s sabotage of a a coherent COVID strategy.

The difference is that King Lear was a tragedy.

What Rudes is facing is called justice.

And I guess his forays to the Manhattan cigar bars will be curtailed as well. And maybe he could find a cheaper place out on LI . . ? Take the train instead of having a driver?

…actually … have been surprised that Rudy hasn’t taken a page out of the Trump financial strategy book - excessively publicize some fat ongoing retainer & fee plan from Trump - then use that to get some bank to grant him a line of credit - which he would abuse all to hell… and never pay back.

Cutting the ties of loyalty to every potential witness possible is always the smart play.
