6. He needs 1.3 billion for the Dominion suit. GiveSendGo won't raise that. tRump lost his accountants

Walls are closing in on tRump. He lost his accountants today and they repudiated him in no uncertain terms. So even if he ever had $1.3 billion to rub together (I doubt it), he sure doesn't now. And apparently he is not paying Ghouliani fees he owes him.

he was watching the Super Bowl with Traitor Don. If he appears before the committee, he going to contribute nothing more than hot air or worse.

If Rudy wanted to do the right thing, he'd have already stepped up and said something.

tRump not paying fees owed to Ghouliani. He probably does not have much money to defend criminal charges either. Unemployable? Radioactive?

He's been seen recently spending time with Trump.
Someone on MSNBC even theorized Giuliani may be
using the threat of committee to muscle Trump for cash
(or at least legal bills). Nothing surprises at this point...
except the fact that neither Trump or Giuliani are trustworthy.

12. Rudy will obfuscate with contradictions cloaked in dementia and stall strategies

I doubt he's ever been squeaky clean. More like an appearance of propriety greased with favoritism. The sheriff who looked the other way.

15. Rudy is (again) engaging in delaying tactics.

If he is actually going to get to a point where he is willing to cooperate, which would mean violating attorney client privilege, and therefore surely be disbarred, Trump will stop it by asserting the privilege; it is Trump’s to assert or waive. No way will he waive it.

With hair dye running down both cheeks. Damn, I'd love just to see that!

Talk, Rudy, Talk!
