(47,933 posts)He prosecuted mob bosses and was highly regarded at one time. What the hell? Now he is an idiot clown. Hard to believe he was ever a lawyer, let alone a U.S. Attorney or Associate Attorney General.
Was he always this stupid? Or is he suffering from dementia?

(12,344 posts)He sounded good, even if you didn't agree with him, he was pretty sharp.

(54,139 posts)The fact that Giuliani wants Trump to pay him this time rather than lawyering pro bono should make short work of the former.

(54,139 posts)But I did hear that Lev Parnass revealed a while back Giuliyahoo had gotten 500k through a Russian oligarch/Putin.
That must've dried up.

(2,041 posts)Theyve only been throwing that word around for years, and every 5 minutes the last few weeks. What, did nobody GO LOOK IT UP?!?!?! They are dumber than a box of rocks.

(2,626 posts)in what case does it mean transparent?
Dennis Donovan
(18,770 posts)Mossfern
(2,626 posts)but it doesn't mean transparent. He wasn't talking about zero percent opacity. He didn't even know what it meant.

(6,633 posts)... is a computerese neologism. In plain speech, it means "transparency."
It's like saying "zero percent solvency" to mean that you're broke.

(fyi if you don't get the face palm, "strict scrutiny" is a term of art in constitutional law with a very specific meaning, whereas "normal scrutiny" is.... not)

(1,178 posts)I swear he's trying to do more damage than good for Trump at every step of the way.
PutGramaOnThePhone
(236 posts)like hes doing damage to me too, but maybe trump just wants the chaos and appearance of a fight, to solidify the already established theme - for his followers - that the election was not valid.

(3,748 posts)and the trump team is actually comfortable having him argue before a judge?

(11,592 posts)I understand he's done mountains of "work" for no compensation, so far. Still far more than he deserves.

SleeplessinSoCal
(9,241 posts)This is not the same guy who went after the mob. Or even parlayed that into cleaning up 42nd street before going on a rampage to prioritize racist policing and being negligent re: our national security by his actions around the world trade center before 9/11.
Who is writing the best seller about his fall, and who will play him in the TV series?
