Rudy Giuliani files for bankruptcy in NY
NY Post ^ | 21 Dec 2023 | Ben Kochman and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

Posted on 12/21/2023 4:50:51 PM PST by Rummyfan

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Thursday in the wake of a $148 million civil court ruling and a mountain of unpaid legal bills.

Giuliani, 79, estimates he currently owes $153 million — an amount that will likely balloon due to several other pending lawsuits and when millions of dollars in pending legal bills are factored in, according to the Manhattan federal court filing.

The $148 million settlement was the biggest financial blow to Giuliani, but he also owes the IRS more than $700,000 and more than $260,000 to New York State tax authorities, according to the bankruptcy filing, first reported by Bloomberg News.

Puts on display for all to see that the democrats will stop at nothing, moral, ethical or legal, to destroy Trump and anyone perceived as a supporter of him, in any way. It’s going to get uglier. They are taking out all the stops to win, given they know their generation of lies, fraud, deceit, betrayal and treason that they’ve been an active participant in, is exposed to the world to see. Reaction to it, will be telling.

It would be appropriate if Pres. Trump helped alleviate Giuliani’s situation. Not only because of fact that Rudy’s work on Trump’s behalf got him into this mess, but also because Rudy’s work at returning NYC to pre 70s social and economic climate helped Trump to decide to invest more heavily in NYC real estate development. The financial gain from those investments led to Atlantic City casinos and his notoriety led to “ You’re Fired.” The rest is history. Trump owes Rudy.

Meanwhile, someone from the deep state will whisper into a congressman or judge’s ear and say...”This could be you if you cause any problems”.

From the Department of Good Luck With That:

Section 523(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code makes debts nondischargeable if they arise from "willful and malicious injury by the debtor to another entity or to the property of another entity."

Hunter Biden is listed as a creditor in the bankruptcy because he filed a lawsuit against Giuliani this past September:

Perhaps POTUS45 can house Rudy and his wife in a Trump hotel for the rest of their lives.

Cleaned out organized crime in lower NY State.
Got NYC to be livable and likable by stamping out street crime and cleaning up the city.
Helped save and unite the city as Mayor during the horror of 9/11
Stayed a loyal supporter with others ran from Trump and did what he could in support.

Democrats Destroying America -— Never Forgive.

Just more proof that none of us own anything.

We just get to use it until the government decides we are through -- and they come and take it all away>

That's anybody. You and me both.

And we want to spread this democracy all around the globe??

Give me a break!

I’m sure Trump agrees and wants to make Rudy’s problems go away - but figuring out the best logistics and timing will not be easy.

For example, Giuliani is no doubt appealing the rulings against him - so the question is, if Trump simply cut him a check to cover his legal expenses and back taxes - could that negatively affect his appeal? Could it negatively affect Trump’s own court cases?

After all, the bogus allegations against Trump and his lawyers have an element of collusion - and the news of Trump paying Giuliani’s bills would almost certainly be twisted into some kind of quid pro quo scandal.

Perhaps the best thing President Trump can do for all the victims of this Democrat persecution is win back the Presidency, and pardon them all.
