Several of the attorneys who spearheaded President Donald Trump’s frenzied effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election tried, and failed, to collect payment for the work they did for Trump’s political operation, despite the fact that their lawsuits and false claims of election interference helped the Trump campaign and allied committees raise $250 million in the weeks following the November vote.
Among them was Trump’s closest ally, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani. Trump and Giuliani had a handshake agreement that Giuliani and his team would get paid by the Trump political operation for their post-election work, according to Timothy Parlatore, an attorney for longtime Giuliani ally Bernard Kerik.
But the Trump campaign and their affiliated committees ultimately did not honor that pledge, according to campaign finance records. The failure to pay Giuliani and his team came up last week in a private interview between prosecutors on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team and Bernard Kerik, a member of Giuliani’s team in late 2020, according to Parlatore.

Jack smith is looking into it. We’ll see soon what he finds out.
The RAT pack is out in force tonite.
The claim the claims were false is false.
I’ll answer your reasonable question two different ways. You may not like either answer, but so what.
Let’s get the trite (but IMO valid) tack out of the way first. Running Florida is junior high school ball. Running the USA is pro ball. A completely different level of opponent; a completely different level of team play. Plus RdS isn’t playing on a junior high school team “with” teammates who are out to see his legs broken on ever play like some of Trump’s supposed “teammates” were. ;-) And Disney is, frankly, a junior-high level of opponent compared to (say) North Korea. Or Iraq. Or the IPCC. Or the UN. Or NATO. Or the US CIA or DOJ or FBI.
But here’s a different question that exposes a more sophisticated analysis. Leave aside Florida for a moment, we’ll come back to it. Are the national Democrats stronger — or weaker — after four years of Donald Trump as POTUS than they would have been after four years of Hillary? Corollary: ask that same question hypothetically about any of the serious candidates that ran against Trump in the 2016 primary. Jeb vs. Hillary? Ben Carson vs. Hillary? Giuliani vs. Hillary? All of those would have crumbled — gone along to get along with the deep, deep state and its preferred global alliances.
The strength of the ‘Rat party didn’t come about between 2016 and 2020. It was built out over at least 28 years since Reagan — seven presidential terms, four ‘Rat and three RINO. During that time Clintoon and Obammy built out the Gramscian Marxist deep state, well, deeply (and the Bushes went along with it when they were POTUS). If Hillary had achieved power, our fate would have been cemented AND WE WOULD NOT EVEN KNOW WE WERE BEING BOILED. Trump didn’t destroy the Marxian deep state, but his wrecking ball DID damage it and, most importantly, EXPOSED it to the sunlight. That exposure to sunlight is KEY; the DemonRat beast WAS wounded (mortally, I believe) and continues to weaken BECAUSE Trump continues to fight the beast.
Back to Florida: a significant part of RdS’s success in even getting elected in FL is due to the support, tangible and ideological, that Donald Trump gave him. I’ll grant that RdS did a good job of solidifying the conservative in FL once he got hold of the levers of power. But without Trump it is not a vacuous argument that FL would be suffering under Governor Gillum.
You would drink down the poison grape juice if trump said too.
Useful Idiot

What are you talking about?
>> GulliverSwift agreed with me, why don’t you give him a hard time too?
I dunno, maybe because Gulliver Swift has been on FR twenty-three years... and you’ve been here a week?
Side note: what a wuss you are, Karen, throwing GS under the bus like that.
>> Sign up date means absolutely nothing.
Because you say so? You really ARE a noob. And Bikkuri is right, your time here may in fact be brief, brought to a close by your own hand.
You’re a piece of work. Have a happy life; I don’t believe we have anything in common.
The real people here know better than to believe anything that comes from the mainstream media.

Because there’s no such thing as a noob on Free Republic. Every “noob” here has likely been posting for years under a different name.
There’s no new blood coming to Free Republic. The kids are all on Twitter, Reddit, or similar sites that are smartphone friendly, —something Free Republic most certainly is not.
Yep, the plan all along of the “conspirators” indictment BUNDLE
Get one to turn by Plea Deal, “bamboo fingernails.”
They can’t plant anyone this time, so this Operation.
That’s what the seed sowers will attempt to do in seed media, cycle after cycle from now on.
The filth maybe digging back to childhoods or former wives.
