Trump reportedly 'orders aides not to pay Rudy Giuliani's $20K-a-day fee'

Trump has reportedly ordered aides not to pay Rudy Giuliani's legal fees and is also demanding to personally scrutinize all of Giuliani's travel expenses

Giuliani had billed $20,000 per day to aid Trump's quest to challenge election - he failed to stop election certification or prevent Twitter's lifetime ban on the President

Trump expressed disappointment with some of Giuliani's legal moves in challenging the election results, and did not appreciate his demand for $20,000 a day in the failed push, two officials told the Washington Post.

The officials said the president is also demanding to personally approve all expenses incurred by Giuliani in his multi-state legal campaign to prove election fraud, which quickly fizzled in court

...Amid the strain, Trump's relationship with Giuliani may be fracturing - although the president's lawyer is one of the few who have vigorously defended him in public, insisting that Trump's actions were not incitement.

Giuliani has been a key legal advisor to Trump in his election challenge, after leading a leading a personal crusade to unearth potential dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter in Ukraine.

The former New York City mayor's legal charge challenging the election took bizarre turns at times, such as the notorious press conference held in the parking lot of Four Seasons Total Landscaping outside Philadelphia.

It led to speculation that the location had been mistakenly booked in the belief that it was the upscale Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia in Center City, although the incident was never fully explained.

At another press conference, at the Republican National Committee in Washington DC, an agitated and sweaty Giuliani appeared to be melting on live TV, with some kind of hair dye dripping down the side of his face.

That Four Seasons press conference cost a bundle. That was probably the straw that broke the camels back.

As usual, The Daily Smell cites two unnamed “sources” who are repeating something they supposedly read in The Washington Post. Yeah. It doesn’t get more concrete than that.

Hope this is not true. I do not think it is. Rudy is the only one on his side. He was on bannon yesterday. I would think if he isn’t getting paid he wouldn’t be working. He has done a good job, the media has blocked him and his massive evidence.

This is never going to end for the greatest President we’ve had. We’ll be seeing “Breaking News”-Trump’s window shades were leaning to the right, clearly a sign that he continues to incite his followers....

Trump has reportedly ordered aides

These two words used together, turn everything following into anything the writer wants, without any quotes or named sources.

The problem is that neither Giuliani, Powell or Wood have been able to prove squat in a court of law. They give great press conferences, present great theories but push came to shove, they dropped all allegations of fraud when they got in in front of a Judge. The WI judge all but begged them to present their evidence of fraud and they backed down on that charge. One of them even charges the GA Governor and SOS with accepting bribes from Dominion and of course there was no proof of such corruption.

FYI- I was extremely sympathetic with them up until Thanksgiving weekend. After that I grew more cynical each day. That "kracken" never materialized. The proof that was supposed to flow like "water out of a firehose" proved to be trickles at best. Then at the end they spun a tale saying Pence could reject the entire slate of electors which was false.

Look, it hurts to admit you were lied to. These 3 lied to us and they lied to/misled President Trump. And I proudly voted for Trump twice

Three strikes and this article is all bullshit:

Strike one - the article wreaks of leftist tripe.

Strike two - the story is based on two sources that told WaPo.

Strike three - “Trump reportedly”, the word equates to “rumor”.

Strike four - money to pay off legal fees would be coming out of the reelection funds and not President Trump’s personal account so this is all a nothing burger by the DM to stir up the masses with yellow journalism.

“He was on bannon yesterday.”

I hope he’s on again today. Maybe this issue will be addressed.

Yes we were lied to, I made that case early on and even suffered a suspension on here since conspiracy theories are superior to reality and facts.

The win here was getting the entire states to be disqualified early on because they changed their election laws illegally. That was a win and the remedy was to conduct a new election in those states or allow the legislature to pick the winners.

That would have at least been a case

It would have been Bush v Gore type of case

All Trump needed was competent real lawyers to do it.

That is exactly how I feel about the whole thing.

I think what I find really annoying is that these lawyers have convinced a whole whack of people, including a majority on this discussion board, that fraud was actually committed and Pence is a bad guy without ever delivering the goods.

I'm not convinced I was lied to. I'm in PA, and there were just too many reports and signed affidavits of trailer trucks full of ballots with only Biden on them, and our Supreme Court basically allowing ballots with any signature (or no signature) and no dated postmark.

Now, were those three ineffective, hell yes. But the fact is too many judges just dismissed cases out of hand without even looking at the evidence.

However I WILL SAY that I can't think of a legal reason (and even if there is one) that they shouldn't have just made all the evidence public, put it out there on servers for all to see, not some BS "well it's a legal filing, so we can't show it" crap.

So if there actually wasn't any evidence, then I think the 3 of them should spend their remaining days living under a bridge eating dog food.

FWIW
