Did he try pulling himself up by the bootstraps? What about not having an iPhone? Starbucks coffee? Avocado toasts?

He destroyed his legal career to defend Trump. He went on news channels and pointedly said that it’s normal for a lawyer to pay off hush money and never tell a client. His own law firm fired him because nobody wants a lawyer that spends such massive amounts of your money without telling you. Then he told so many lies that his law license was suspended by the bar for unprofessional behavior and disgracing the legal profession. And after all that, Trump refused to pay him because he didn’t like the outcome of the case.

NOW Giuliani is being sued by the poll workers he slandered and had their lives threatened, and Giuliani admitted to the court that he doesn’t have enough money to fight the case and won’t put up a defense. That’s in addition to the lawsuits against him by Dominion and Smartmatic which are still in progress.

I guess he shouldn't have been a traitor to our country then.

Alright this is just too juicy to ignore.

In civil litigation, the plaintiff will often seek discovery of the defendant's finances, insurance policies, etc to find out if the defendant will ultimately be able to pay a judgement. Looks like Guliani is trying to avoid that because he's embarrassed he's broke:

While the former mayor has declined in court to provide details of his financial state, his lawyers wrote this week that “producing a detailed financial report is only meant to embarrass Mr. Giuliani and draw attention to his misfortunes.”

The article also cited campaign disclosures showing Trump's PAC was paying Guliani's bills related to record storage and production, at a cost of $300k. But it sounds like Trump cut him off:

On Wednesday, Katz argued Giuliani did not have the funds to pay for producing records in a lawsuit brought by voting technology company Smartmatic, adding that the “third-party source” that paid for his earlier bill was “not willing to give any additional money.”

By May, Giuliani was more than $320,000 behind in payments to the document hosting company, according to a sworn statement he made in court. “I do not have the funds to pay this amount at this time,” he wrote. 

He negotiated for a year with what his lawyers say were “third-party funding sources” for help in paying his legal bills, and awaited funding for six months for help with the Trustpoint bill, according to Giuliani’s filing this week in the Smartmatic case. But the $340,000 payment [previous one time payment from Trump's PAC to catch Guliani up on data hosting bills] isn’t enough to cover more searches, Trustpoint “will not extend any further credit” to him, and his bill to keep his data held by the company will keep growing by the month, his court filings say. On Wednesday, the New York state judge in that case gave Giuliani two weeks to find the money needed to produce the records to Smartmatic. If he fails to do so, the judge said Giuliani would be forced to pay some of Smartmatic’s legal costs.

What is fun is if he doesn't produce documents he may ultimately get sanctioned with negative inferences (instruction to the jury that they should assume anything Guliani didn't turn over was basically a smoking gun against him) or a default judgement as to liability (see Alex Jones). He's fucked lol. Damn I am never not fascinated by the epic fall of Guliani.

A) This is entirely self-inflicted.

B) Guiliani is worth somewhere around $40-45 million, he's not going to be eating ramen or selling blood.

C) Anyway ...

Just imagine if he hadn't hitched his wagon to the S.S. Trumptanic. He could be working a comfy legal/political analyst position at Fox News or CNN and not have to worry about losing his license, his credibility, his money, and his freedom. Oh well.

If only he could get a plea deal and make it all go away.

That's OK. An attorney can be appointed to him.

Hmmm. Was he ever paid by his last client? How unusual.

a $20,000 monthly fee to a company to host his electronic records, $15,000 or more for a search of his records

Props to the tech company ripping this guy off

Good thing Trump is a loyal friend who always pays his lawyers fully.

Hope he can scrape together enough doing Cameo clips. Couldn't be happening to a better person.

Let's all dig deep for the little guy....

Maybe he should try representing a Lannister, because they actually pay their debts.

That’s just one thing in the endless list of deficiencies.
