Rudy Giuliani is staring down hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills and sanctions amid numerous lawsuits in addition to the new criminal charges – related to his work for Donald Trump after the 2020 election.

    Wonder what the Russians have on him. Must be good to make him try and stand in front of a freight train.

      Probably a lot of dirt from helping them take down the Italian mob of New York so the Russian mob could take over.

      My theory: CP, like trumps piss video - the piss was not the problem but the age of the pissers was.

      Some of the other stuff that has come out recently (and the Borat sequel hotel scene) make it look like Ghouliani is a rapist or a diddler / both

      Would not be shocked if the russians have diddler dirt on him

        Probable. Russian friends in NYC probably provided girls to him and covertly filmed it. I wonder if we will ever know for sure.

    When the FBI seized several of his cell phones in April 2021 in a now-closed investigation, much of Giuliani’s electronic records were held on a database operated by a company called Trustpoint.One. But they were archived, and running searches on files the company held for more recent litigation isn’t cheap. Even  hosting his records with the company costs $20,000 a month, according to a recent court filing.

    No sympathy at all to the drunk fool, but why is it so expensive?

      The price is set at what the market will bear, and they’re a “Cadillac” service (e.g. aimed at high-income, white-glove-style clientele) per their “About Us” page

      https://trustpoint.one/about-us/

      In his case it doesn’t seem like the best choice.

    I don’t understand why he doesn’t just ask Trump for the money? It’s not like Trump has a history of stiffing and being cheap? I’m sure Trump will give G the money to keep him quiet. It’s not like Trump will throw G under the bus the moment it’s beneficial.

    The post right above this “After Years of Spreading Lies, Election Deniers Face Consequences” …seems like it.

    Who’s willing to bet that if it does start to look bad, this guy will suddenly appear as a frail old man in too bad shape to properly face justice. No more make-up or hairdye.

    Reminds me of a Pink Floyd lyric:

    And when you lose control, you’ll reap the harvest you have sown

    And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone

    And it’s too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around

    So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone

    Dragged down by the stone

    That’s alright, he’s going to have a nice little place to live with meals the rest of his live shortly and then he won’t have to worry about his finances
