With his attorney in tow, Rudy Giuliani traveled to Mar-a-Lago in recent months on a mission to make a personal and desperate appeal to former President Donald Trump to pay his legal bills. By going in person, a source familiar with the matter told CNN, Giuliani and his lawyer Robert Costello believed they could explain face-to-face why Trump needed to assist his former attorney with his ballooning legal bills.

      Rudy has gained huge amounts in the shadows that we have not ever heard about. His accounts in Lichtenstein and the Caymans are probably pretty fat and happy these days, and not even RICO can touch that. I wouldn’t count on this being anything other than more distraction.

      He won’t flip for money. But he would flip to avoid jail time. If it really looks like Giuliani is going down he’ll turn on Trump.

      Remember this is the guy that got Sammy Gravano to flip on Gotti because Gotti was going to throw him under the bus.
