If Rudy was committing a crime when he was Trump's lawyer

[Botany]

... wouldn't the lawyer/client privilege be done? And how fast would Rudy flip on Trump to save his ass?

1. I think the crime would have to involve Trump

To take a hypothetical, I am John Doe's lawyer, I rob a liquor store, I keep the money. John Doe is OK.

A different hypothetical, I am John Doe's lawyer, I rob a liquor store at John's bequest and split the money, John Doe is in trouble.

2. Perhaps it does and that is why Rudy was raided by the Feds.

Donald Trump has to be very concened the fire is getting closer to him.

Why else would Rudy be doing concerning Ukraine were it not for Trump?

3. "if a client initiates a communication with a lawyer for the purpose of committing a crime

or an act of fraud in the future, the attorney-client privilege typically doesn’t apply."

From: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/attorney-client-privilege.html

Discussions of previous acts are generally subject to the attorney-client privilege. If, for example, if a client tells his lawyer that he robbed a bank or lied about assets during a divorce, the lawyer probably can’t disclose the information.

But if a client initiates a communication with a lawyer for the purpose of committing a crime or an act of fraud in the future, the attorney-client privilege typically doesn’t apply. Likewise, most states allow—or require—attorneys to disclose information learned from a client that will prevent death or serious injury. Many have a similar rule where revealing otherwise confidential information would prevent or remedy financial injury due to a crime or fraud.

5. We did hear all that testimony during the first impeachment, Trump telling everyone important tio

Kind of hard to deny Trump was directing both U.S. officials and others, to contact Giuliani to get on board with His (Trump's) Ukraine operation.

The U.S. Senate voted not guilty, that doesn't mean Trump is not guilty of directing Giuliani to break the law(s).
