It's his own damn fault. He's seen what Trump has done to many, many associates in the past. Did he really trust a verbal commitment Trump The Don? :roll: Rudy is supposed to be some great attorney so why didn't he get in writing(contract). One of my first bosses taught me that lesson: "If it's not written, it's not real."

Even people with written contacts can’t get paid by Trump. Giuliani should have had Trump’s money in his escrow account that he could bill against.

But the result is the same: :violin:

Here's the Michael Wolff excerpt mentioned a few pages ago in NY Magazine: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article ... cerpt.html
The one person Trump did have at his side, Rudy Giuliani, was drinking heavily and in a constant state of excitation, often almost incoherent in his agitation and mania.

Almost everyone who remained around the president understood that he, along with Giuliani, did in fact actually believe that there was yet a decent chance of upsetting the electoral count and having Trump declared the Electoral College winner or, failing that, prolonging the election and returning the fight to the disputed states. The president’s aides (and family) understood, too, that he was the only one (along with Giuliani, which only made the situation more alarming) in any professional political sphere to believe this. Hence — although they did not call it such and tried to see it as more nuanced — derangement.

There had been hardly a waking hour in the past 48 during which he and Giuliani had not been on the phone in pent-up nervousness and excitement over the coming battle in Congress on January 6. They were two generals poring over a map of the battlefield. Both men, egged on by hypotheticals ever nearer to fantasy and after exhausting all other options, had come to take it as an article of faith that the vice-president could simply reject Biden electors in favor of Trump ones and thereby hand the election to Trump; or, falling short of that, that the vice-president could determine that a state legislature ought to give further consideration to possible discrepancies in the state’s vote and send back the questioned electors for a reconsideration of their certification.

“There is no question, none at all, that the VP can do this. That’s a fact. The Constitution gives him the authority not to certify. It goes back to the state legislatures,” said Giuliani, as though on a loop. He kept repeating this to the president and to the others who were part of the continual conversation on his cell phone. (“Yes … Yes … Yes … Here’s the thing … Hold on a second … Hey, let me get back to you …”)

The president, in his own loop, kept similarly repeating this back to Giuliani.

And they both similarly repeated this to everyone else with such insistent determination that it overrode any opportunity to disagree with them or even engage in the conversation. Throughout, they continued to weigh the odds that the vice-president would come along: sometimes 50-50, sometimes as much as 60-40, even somewhat more. At the grimmest, 30-70. But always a solid shot.

Wolff sure knows how to get his publicity.

There's the old joke that an oral contract isn't worth the paper its written on.

IANAL, but it is my understanding that an oral contract CAN be valid, but the problem comes with trying to prove it exists and exactly what the terms are. But, yeah, an oral contract with TFG isn't worth very much.

There is something called "The Statute of Frauds" which renders certain kinds of contracts unenforceable unless written and signed. The SOF varies from state to state but generally, contracts to buy or sell real estate, contracts to be guarantee someone else's debts, contracts lasting longer than a year and a few other types of contracts must be written. Anything not covered by the SOF is, at least in theory, enforceable, but, as pointed out, there will be problems of proof.

To buy, sell, lease real property, but not necessarily to build on it. You could have an oral contract to build a new auto factory because, theoretically, if you throw enough money at it you could do it in one year.

Amazing...to discipline an attorney it seems like you have to jump through so many hoops it seems just easier to let it go, but if someone else has done all the hard work, it takes just a day or 2.

Most attorneys know to just take the L; you have to be a special kind of stupid to litigate the reciprocal discipline that extends beyond the original suspension.

Almost always, yes.

But I wonder if it ever happened, say in the early years of civil rights litigation, that a civil rights attorney was disciplined for the temerity of representing African Americans, and another jurisdiction balked. Or something else comparable.

'No one' wanted Rudy Giuliani at Trump's debate prep because he 'passed gas constantly': Michael Wolff

Speaking to MSNBC on Tuesday, Michael Wolff explained that most Americans don't fully realize how far Rudy Giuliani has deteriorated.

He told Brian Williams that the man, formerly known as "America's Mayor," is always either drunk or buzzed. His new book, Landslide, goes into even more humiliating details.
:snippity:
"Rudy Giuliani came once, but no one wanted him back," the book describes. "His phone rang constantly, and he couldn't shut it off. He shuffled endless pieces of paper without being able to find what he was looking for. He couldn't work his iPad to bring up what he wanted to show, reliably stalling meetings. And he went down rabbit holes—they could get Hunter Biden, if they could just find the guy who signed the forms to get Hunter the waiver to get into the military. And he passed gas, constantly."
