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.

So you don’t care about the injustice? They’re destroying Trump, I would be horrified if the same thing happened to DeSantis(or anyone).
I want to see trump beat all four trials. The guys a fighter. I wish more had faith in him. Yes I think his time has passed as far as president only because of his age and mouth sometimes (if he’s our candidate, of course he gets my vote). But I do admire how he’s able to get himself out of sticky situations. He’s been doing it his whole life.
Your comment requires willful suspension of disbelief in a nation with 50 states and more than three hundred million people, that a good POTUS can't find several dozen strong, trustworthy advisors.
And the majority of the advisors he enlists leave thinking he’s an a$$hole.
Therein lies the other half of the equation.
Why were you happy to have Trump as our candidate in 2016?
Perhaps you weren’t, but most of us who were, were glad
because he wasn’t going to have the old insider ties that
all the others have had for a hundred years or so, except
Reagan for the most part.
Did you expect Trump to go down to Washington, D. C. and
know all the players so he could pick good ones? No. Did
you expect D. C. insiders to give him good suggestions,
knowing full well they were part of the plan to have him
gone in six months?
I am amazed at the complete breakdown of rational thought
when it comes to Trump and what some folks thought was
going to happen.
Why he picked the worst people he could have, darn it. Yeah
he sure didn’t pick the ones we wanted, but did Mitch, Paul,
the GOPe, the RNC, or anyone else life a finger to help him
take advantage of the majority in both the House and the
Senate? No.
We had waited 28 years to have a clear majority in the
House and Senate, with a willing president to push through
his and their agenda, and all Mitch, Paul, the RNC, the GOPe
could do was sit on their hands.
You know this as well as I do, and yet you can’t grasp the
fact that nobody was going to help the guy fix the nation.
Is that his fault too?
After 28 years Mitch’s and Paul’s only plan was to get Tax
cuts through. Those sunset next year, or January of 2025.
Other than that, those guys thought they had done all the
heavy lifting that was required.
They refused to fund the wall. They didn’t defend him
against the Democrat onslaught. Those guys all knew the
Russian collusion ruse was a hoax. They remained silent
rather than call the Democrats out.
You know all this as well, and yet you think Trump was the
bad guy because he couldn’t spot the backstabbers in his
midst.
How would you have spotted them. I’d like to know, because
I wouldn’t have.
With your inability to think logically, you’d be very popular
over at Democrat Underground.
Give it some thought.
That was your big take away from what I said?
Seriously sad...
Right on, Bucky! You've invoked DU. Your next spear will invoke Nazis.
My big takeaway is that you answer your own rhetorical questions, and you have no intention of considering anything beyond the end of your nose. It's your way or the highway. Doesn't make for a productive discussion forum when you insist that we all must think like you, because you are too wound up to know anything else.
To begin with there was the Hillary inspired Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax that was known to and thereby approved by the Obama/Biden Administration. Think about that, a previous POTUS purposely set out to obstruct an incoming administration. That has never happened in American history. This was unimaginable just 8 years ago.
Was Trump wrong March 2017, when he accused the Obama/Biden Administration of spying on him? No he was not, but who believed him? He was not being outrageous or narcissistic. Trump was accurate and told the truth. Don't forget Governor DeSantis was Congressman DeSantis. What did Congressman DeSantis do about all that Hillary/Obama crap from 2012 thru 2018? FYI, DeSantis chaired the Subcommittee on National Security (remember Benghazi?) and served on the Foreign Affairs (Hello Benghazi!!!) and Judiciary Committees.
Then there were the two Impeachments 1 and 2 and finally the Special Prosecutor Investigation. Impeachment 2 - Trump gets impeached for one phone call with Zelenskyy while Biden's Crime Family made millions off of Ukraine's corrupt company Burisma. Simply unbelievable!
Despite the despicable, malicious, and the bullying behavior of Obama, Biden and Hillary and the anemic RINO response, which recent POTUS was as successful as Trump? Name one Naughty Nurse!
Here is a shortlist of Trump's accomplishments in the 4 years that were positives for the majority of Americans:
The gas price per gallon was about $2.30 vs $3.80 under Biden.
Inflation was about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now.
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shaped recovery until January 22, 2021.
Tax decrease - tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large.
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty.
No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way.
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war.
US companies were bringing home well paying jobs due to well executed tax treatments.
There was peace in the Middle East, aka Abraham Accords; the US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated. Remember Trump's audacious assassination of Iran's Qassem Soleimani? How about Trump destroying Isis in just a matter on months? Trump handled Syria and Russia elegantly.
Trump got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.
Trump had an excellent Economic Team and the US enjoyed a AAA+ rating that Biden's Team destroyed in 2+ years:

They were brilliant! And do not forget Wilbur Ross.

Funny how Russia was quiet during the Trump Administration. There was no Russian invasion of Ukraine until Biden took over. Why was that?
I hope you remember this:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nuclear-summit-obama-medvedev-idUSBRE82P0JI20120326
This was a very memorable and strategic event early into Trump's Administration:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/12/trump-xi-jinping-chocolate-cake-syria-strikes
The above is why Putin behaved himself during the Trump Administration. Putin invaded the Ukraine under Biden just like he did under Obama when he claimed Crimea.
Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by the Obama/Biden Weaponized Agencies? Again, talk about “bullying”! Please, spare me!
Trump received 11 million more votes in 2020 over 2016. Never has a sitting President lost when receiving more votes in his reelection bid. Trump increased his vote total by 17+%. Trump can claim victory in 17 of the 18 bellwether counties but still “lost” according to the Dems/MSM?
Do you really believe that Bumbling Biden received 15 million more votes than Hillary? That is an amazing and unbelievable 23% increase in votes for Bumbling Biden than Hillary. The election was blatantly in your face stolen.
Face it, Trump did one hell of a job.
Do you realize that you use Democrat talking points in your
arguments? “Ah Trump was the art of the deal man.” I’ve
faced that same comment on forums across the internet, and
the Democrats are the ones using it almost exclusively.
There was a stacked deck against Trump, and every Conservative
knows it, but you ignore the 500 pound gorilla in the room
and don’t even acknowledge it.
These are two of the reasons why I suggested you might be
more at home on DU. That flew over your head also.
Bless your heart. Your circular spear throwing is a hoot! Be careful—Oops—one of your silly spears just bounced off your bum.
Thanks. The sad things is, you and a lot of others still
have to bring that stuff up to folks who try to pass
themselves off as Conservatives, using Democrat talking
points.
Trump is up around 55% in the primary race, and Ron is down
around 5-8% now. So what do they do? They try to join
the Democrats is destroying Trump.
Trump is the only guy that has the grasp of what is taking
place.
I think he deserves his second term, and we for darn
certain deserve to have a man like him serve again.
You essentially illiterate on these topics.
Bless your heart. Say an extra prayer tonight that God will forgive you for all of the spears you are throwing.
“Trump is the only guy that has the grasp of what is taking
place.
I think he deserves his second term, and we for darn
certain deserve to have a man like him serve again.”
What most of these folks don’t realize is that if we don’t stand up for Trump, who in the end will stand up for us? It’s a Cold War and our side is clueless.
LOL
What you’re touching on goes so far over these folk’s head,
they don’t even know how to respond on point.
And yet, here they are trying to change minds and influence
people.
You can sport the folks put here by the GOP.
