Giuliani Forced to Resign from His Law Firm

Rudy Giuliani “abruptly resigned from his law firm after weeks of tensions over his public comments,” the New York Times reports.

“Firm partners had chafed over Mr. Giuliani’s public comments about payments that another of Mr. Trump’s lawyers, Michael D. Cohen, made to secure the silence of a pornographic film actress who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump. The president has denied her allegations. In interviews, Mr. Giuliani suggested that such payments were common at his firm.”

just to put his name on their letterhead. Pretty common for former politicians. He just ceased to be an asset and became a liability.

What is it with these bullying assholes that they always have to take this defensive posture of crossing their arms and getting their "mad" face on? I've seen it from male bullies in my own life and they're usually cowards.

Gotta say that even when 9/11 happened I never jumped on his bandwagon and said he'd done such a wonderful job. I never could stand him and Trump either.

But if he gets fired from his law firm, how will he ever be able to get veneers on his lower teeth?

I mean, I knew it was bad, but to impugn your own firm that way? What a f'ing moron!!! Anyone that anxious to kiss ass shouldn't be trusted by anyone, even the kissee.
