[Seinfeld voice] That’s a shame.
As I understand it, the plaintiff sought communications from rudy with regard to some potential witnesses, and he provided some sort of reply. Those witnesses then independently produced emails to the plaintiff, which they had received from rudy, which rudy hadn’t previously disclosed. So, in response, the plaintiff went to court to complain that clearly rudy hadn’t fulfilled his obligation to produce the requested communications.
The court ordered rudy to appear, and he explained that the FBI had seized a lot of his devices, and the vendor who could provide the information had told him it would cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars to retrieve these emails (that makes no sense to me, but I don’t know…)
As a result of that explanation, the plaintiff said - well, then we should be able to examine the disclosures that rudy made in his latest divorce to determine if he can afford this expert’s costs, or if the plaintiff should have to bear the costs themselves.
The judge - who, I suspect, has absolutely no love for rudy (just on the principle that he’s regressed into a lecherous drunk who has been trying to live on his legacy for decades now) - agreed.
And now here we are.
I wonder if Rudy was trying to impress her with pardon bullshit, like as if he told her he could take AF1 out for joy rides. To entrust her with such a dangerous scheme would be something only a drunken idiot would do.
I was thinking the same thing. On the other hand, his comments about not going through usual channels to avoid official records suggests he’s put a bit more thought into this scheme than one would normally put into a pick up line. So while he may not have actually done this, he’s certainly looked into the possibility.
If Rudy promised her a million buck in the future for kinky sex now, and the disclosure reveals him to be near broke, she’s going to be unhappy. Add breach of contract?
For the employment contract, maybe.
IANAL, but I’m pretty sure she can’t sue for breach of the “kinky sex contract” because the courts won’t act to enforce a contract that involves illegal products or services.
If he promised her the money knowing full well he’d never pay, and then sexually abused her takes sleaze to a whole new level. A predatory level. “America’s mayor”. 
A title given to him by those not from New York, IIRC.
It has been mentioned before: at 7 AM on 9/11/2001, a majority of NYC was quite fine with him being term limited and less than 4 months from leaving. “Yeah, ya did some things that needed doin’ to clean things up, good job but you’re a dick all the same” sort of thing going, failed to even make it to the primary when he tried to run for Senator in 2000 because his own life went into hot mess mode.
That at this particular point in time, when TSHTF, he stepped into the moment knowing he was the only voice speaking, was to his credit, but it was all about embodyment of a spirit, not about him actually having prepared the city for more effective response. He was labeled as America’s Mayor because he was the mayor of New-$&#%in’-York City when NFYC stood up wounded, bloodied, grieving, for once seen by all as not the “Babylon” of elites and Wall Streeters and “those others”, but as America’s City, and did the job of being the face of it.
Then as soon as that moment passed he went back to being himself only now boosted by fame and flattery. Which still failed to propel him upward. And that’s when the brain rot set in, apparently.
Lots of New Yorkers hated his guts decades before 9/11, found him a bullying demagogue who was wrong on every possible issue. starting with race and the police force. I never thought he did even a passable job on anything, just a despicable posturing, empty-headed monster from the jump. Among my proudest votes were the ones I cast for David DInkins.
Some talking head the other day said Rudy was worth at least 40 million. That sounds high, considering his video party clown business he was in not long ago.
I just saw a Law & Order repeat (one where a new DA is being introduced) and Rudy made a guest appearance as mayor of New York.
He seemed so…normal.
Movie magic!
There was also a Mad About You episode from back in the day in which Paul Reiser’s character said he was planning to vote for Giuliani in the upcoming mayoral election.
Insert “Burke from Aliens” reference here.
Rudy was his second choice, after the alien.
Rudy came up with the $300K after saying he couldn’t pay TrustPoint. A little purjery always sweetens the pot.

It’s not for me to say whether you should or shouldn’t decide to watch the Giuliani episode of Last Week Tonight (Fifth Season, Tenth Episode, 8.7 IDMb rating). I thought it was pretty entertaining. It is so much more than you wanted to know about Giuliani.
Poor Rudy…
Poor, poor Rudy.
Sooooo … since the GQP “observers” were not allowed to get in the ballot counters’ collective faces, every single vote was invalid.
Which made Trump the winner.

:Yes the only cure for any discrepancy, real or imagined, large or small, is to throw out the votes and declare DJT the winner.
