McALLEN, Texas | It begins. Friends and associates of Donald J. Trump walking the legal plank. How long had this been expected? The sad, bulbous face above is that of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, once a respected federal prosecutor and admired Big Apple politician.
But he fell for the charm of one of America's worst people, was used and abused and is now facing mounting legal bills Trump has declined to pay directly (he has promised to attend a fundraiser for poorer-by-the-day Rudy, however).
This from the NYdailynews.com: [ Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who made a career of prosecuting criminals before his two-term, law-and-order-focused mayoralty, surrendered to Georgia authorities Wednesday on 2020 election interference charges.
Giuliani, who faces 13 counts including violation of the Georgia RICO Act and several false statement charges, was processed at the Fulton County jail. His bail was set at $150,000 bond, according to Fulton County jail records.
At his booking, Giuliani - described in the jail records as 5-foot-11, 230 lbs. - wore a navy suit and a red, white and blue tie, a shiny American flag pin hanging from his lapel. He appeared to lean forward, grimacing slightly, in his mugshot. ]
It is one helluva fall from grace for this guy.
He earned it. Caught in the Klieg lights under which Trump lives, Giuliani went all-in on defending the former president at all turns. Rudy spared no money or time; he was there when he was asked to be there, there being anywhere Trump sent him.
But getting himself involved in Trump's desperate desire to stay in office even after losing the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden has now brought Giuliani closer to prison.
He was called a hero after his actions following the Sept. 11, 2001 attack on the Twin Towers in Manhattan.
That now seems so long ago...

Rudy will pay big time - jail. What a loser. Trump let him down.
