Sometimes, their owner will yank fiercely on the leash, which gets them out of the path but snaps the little fuckers neck. Warms my heart, it does. I didn’t know dog parks allowed motor vehicles. ---

So Rudy’s giving up law for his “all-consuming” need to [defend](https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/10/giuliani-permanently-resigns-from-his-firm-to-focus-on-mueller-probe.html) President Fast-Forward. ---

That is the charitable explanation. The real reason is the law firm was pissed whe. Rudy claimed he (and they) had Cohen-like arrangements with their clients. ---

Greenberg was already peeved about Giuliani’s embarrassing six months as Trump’s alternative-facts surrogate-in-chief. They are a prestigious white-shoe firm and all of a sudden one of their most prominent members is on TV acting like a maniac, not long after they had finished dealing with another [embarrassing scandal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Abramoff). They got a reprieve when the campaign was over and His Honor went back to “work” at the firm (just who the hell were his clients, anyway?) Now he goes on television and tells the world that it’s totes coolio for lawyers to maintain NDA-payout slush-funds for their clients and to disburse moneys from them without instruction. There is no question his partners have had enough. ---
