... Giuliani is expected to take in more than $1 million for his legal defense fund at a $100,000-a-plate fundraiser hosted by Trump Thursday evening. It is the first of two fundraisers Trump is expected to sponsor for Giuliani ...

Giuliani has struggled to pay his legal bills – which one source estimated to be as high as $5 million – while defending against multiple defamation lawsuits. Giuliani has been sued over his comments and actions after the 2020 election spreading false claims of election fraud.

Last week, a judge ruled Giuliani lost a defamation lawsuit from two Georgia election workers against him after he failed to provide information sought in subpoenas. He has already been sanctioned nearly $90,000 in attorneys’ fees and now faces the prospect of significant damages that could amount to thousands if not millions of dollars ...

1. Are people really going to pay $100,000 a seat?

[struggle4progress]

2. Dunno. Sounds like it.

... Not everyone is digging into their deep pockets to bail Giuliani out. Billionaire investor Leon Cooperman, a big donor to Giuliani’s ill-fated 2008 presidential campaign, last week said he wouldn’t give “one nickel” to help his ex-pal due to his support for Trump.

5. At least 10, apparently!

But then I’m not accounting for Trump’s cut. No way Trump does this for Giuliani without taking at least 50% of the amount raised. Probably more like 75%.

8. Costs to trDumpie off the top prior to Rudy....,...

Bedminster facilities:

room rental,

banquet fees,

Liquor/wine tabs

tips/gratuities

room clean up fees

[GP6971]

10. Forgot Green Fees and

cart rental fees even if they didn't play.

[LiberalFighter]

19. Valet fees. piped in music fees

[PortTack]

17. Oh you got that right. After all, there are expenses. Uber drivers delivering all those Big Macs

[calimary]

14. Some of the wealthy Repubs will probably ante up.

Better them than ME! If 10 of ‘em pay 100-grand, they’re at goal, right?

Math was not my specialty.

[orthoclad]

3. How about that "billionaire" he's

taking the fall for? He can't spare a measly million?

[Firestorm49]

4. Aw!

[Talitha]

6. Hosted by Dump? Gee I hope they enjoy the burgers and diet coke.

[Attilatheblond]

9. And how much will Melania's cut be

for picking out the china and flower arrangements?

[gratuitous]

7. You know what would be really sad?

It would be really sad if Rudy lived out his miserable life cadging quarters on the streets of Manhattan, drunk and wearing threadbare clothing, telling anyone that wanders too close that he used to be America's Mayor.

That would be very, very sad.

11. Cleaning car windows at red lights.

13. And an unmown plot at Bedminster

when he finally departs this world. A pauper's burial is the least Donny can do for him.

[PortTack]

18. Look at it this way. He'll have company. With Donnie in prison and no grift, junior and eric

Will be out there with him.

I delight in seeing them all deadbeat broke.

[AmBlue]

12. More reason that Article 14, Section 3...

.... disqualifies Trump from holding office. Please tell me how holding a $100k/plate fundraiser for Rudy Colludy is NOT "giving aid or comfort to the enemies [of the Constitution]"?

[Takket]

15. That's money that won't be spent trying to defeat Democrats in elections

So please. By all means. Flush it down the toilet instead.

[PJMcK]

16. This is simplr

The money will come from Russians.

Just as always.
