Rudy Giuliani just took another ugly legal blow
These days bad news tends to be the only news for Rudy Giuliani. He lost an election related civil suit through summary judgment before it even began. His DOJ proffer session went so poorly, he ended up being named a co-conspirator by Jack Smith. Then he got hit with a sexual harassment suit. Then one of his former lawyers sued him. Then last week one of his remaining lawyers in the Fulton County case quit. Now it’s gotten even worse for Rudy.
Yet another of Giuliani’s attorneys, Brian Tevis, has now filed to withdraw from the Fulton County criminal case. No reason has been stated, but we all know the drill by now: Giuliani is an unmanageable whack job of a client and he doesn’t pay his legal bills.
At this point we think there may still be one attorney representing Giuliani in the Fulton County case. But at the rate people are heading out the door, Rudy would well be in line to have to accept a public defender by the time he gets to trial.
It’s obviously well past time for Rudy Giuliani to give up the ghost and negotiate the most lenient plea deal he can get in exchange for whatever evidence he might be sitting on against Donald Trump. But Giuliani doesn’t appear to be cognitively competent enough to even understand that this is his only remaining viable course of action.
