Giuliani was in court today, yep he was chasing an ambulance

Well not quite but almost.

It was a metaphorical ambulance.

It was a metaphorical ambulance chasing an insurance company, kind of a human bites dog case.

If you mean, 'chasing an ambulance' as in a low level fraud case where your client is a low level con trying to rip off an insurance company then this case is as about as close to an ambulance chaser as you can get.

Now remember that Giuliani said that he had to quit his partnership so he can work exclusively for the President.

In today's case Giuliani is defending a woman who got into a wreck and then 10 minutes after the wreck purchases auto insurance to defraud the insurance company



https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/11/politics/rudy-giuliani-florida-court-case/index.html
The former New York City mayor, who recently joined Trump's legal team, appeared for a morning hearing for a criminal defendant. According to court documents, the defendant was in a car crash on May 18, 2016, in Broward County. She is accused of fraudulently purchasing auto insurance online just 10 minutes after the crash and providing false and misleading information to the insurance company.


The defendant, Vanessa Ryan, could not be reached for comment. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The affidavit states that after Ryan bought her insurance based on false information, she then filed a fraudulent insurance claim the next day.

In requesting permission to work on the case, Giuliani listed the Manhattan address of his law firm, Greenberg Traurig, as the location of his office.


Giuliani announced Thursday that he had offered a "permanent resignation" from Greenberg Traurig, following what was initially a temporary leave of absence from the firm.

"In light of the pressing demands of the Mueller investigation, I believe it is in everyone's best interest that I make it a permanent resignation," Giuliani said in a statement, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible Russian collusion in the 2016 election. "This way, my sole concentration can be on this critically important matter for our country."




Giuliani out chasing ambulances so he can help defraud insurance companies.

What a guy.

WHY does Rudy have 10 armed guards?? Who is paying for them??



.......Richard Rosenbaum, the executive chairman of Greenberg Traurig, said in a statement that there was a recognition that Giuliani's work for Trump was "all consuming and is lasting longer than previously anticipated."
A spokesperson for Greenberg Traurig responded, "This is not a firm matter," when CNN asked about the law firm's role -- if any -- in the case.
Attorney Mike Gottlieb was in the courtroom for a separate case and heard the judge call for Rossi, who was not in the room at the time.
"All of the sudden, in walks this elder statesmen type guy surrounded by about 10 armed guards," Gottlieb said. "That's when I knew something was afoot."

There are no "armed guards" in a courtroom, all guns are surrendered at the door

More like 3 sycophantic idiots helped him carry his lunch.

Seems like a pretty small potatoes matter for the great Rudy Giuliani to be mixed up in. Unless Vanessa Ryan is a latent big shot or big shot relative.

Why should be paying for insurance when you don't need it? Wait until you get sick and then purchase health insurance and your health insurance pays for everything. That's the way it works, right?

Which side was the Ghoul on? defending Ryan ?

He says she is a friend. G911 Does't have a license to practice in Fl. It seems to me like he is trying to intimate the plaintiff and DA
