When has Trump completed an honest business transaction ever?

I'd expect to be shortchanged on a sale of Girl Scout cookies to this reprobate.

Even trump can afford that.

Problem is I don’t think giuliani can appear in court. The judge would order a breathalyzer and he’d be held in contempt.

Otherwise, there is a 0% chance they will get paid. And it's not like taking this case is going to help them get good visibility.
