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.

    Rudy will fight this all the way to the Supreme Courtyard by Marriott!

    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

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

        And often it’s the same as the regular version, except issues get bumped in priority and maybe a extra tech support person.

          And your manager freaks out when one of them calls and demands anything. I used to work in a vaguely similar support role, though probably with fewer zeros attached.

    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.

    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

      From the best Floyd album, imo.

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

    I’m sure he can still get a discount at the Four Seasons…

    I put money on Rudy and Jenna to flip first, if they haven’t already, on Trump.

        Oh he’s going to jail, but he’s going to do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn’t take all the heat.

    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

    Money is the least of his worries. He’s going to prison.
