Bruce Castor, the former Montgomery County district attorney and county commissioner who represented former President Donald Trump during his second impeachment trial, filed an eight-page motion in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court on Tuesday, asking to no longer represent former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in a civil suit.

Castor summed up his gripe about Giuliani to Clout more succinctly: “He’s not cooperating, and he’s not paying me.”

James Savage, a Delaware County voting-machine supervisor, sued Trump, his 2020 presidential campaign, Giuliani, and two local Republican poll watchers in November 2021, saying their unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 election made him a target of hatred, ridicule, and physical threats.

Castor initially agreed to serve as Giuliani’s local lawyer but a lawyer from Texas was supposed to take over from there. That didn’t happen, and Castor, according to his motion, reluctantly tried to defend Giuliani.

The motion, which meticulously recounts Castor’s four decades in law and politics, dabbles in a bit of intrigue in two sections.

First, Castor says one of Trump’s other defense lawyers from the 2021 impeachment — who is not identified in the motion — suggested Trump would consider it “a favor” if he represented Giuliani in the case. Second, Castor wrote that a lawyer he knows — also unidentified in the motion — claimed to be “coordinating funding” to pay for Giuliani’s representation.

4. Whaddya mean you're not getting paid, Bruce?

Isn't it compensation enough to know that Donald J. Trump considers your uncompensated work a favor? That consideration should be worth it's weight in gold!

5. Quick question

Is it conceivable that all these lawyers quitting TFG and the Ghoul is just another way of delaying a trial? Because you can't have a fair trial if you don't have legal representation because your lawyers keep quitting.
