Form 19 Statement Of Intent To Dissolve: Fill & Download for Free

UPDATED 1/31/2021 to include latest Trump legal team added and dropped days before impeachment trial…Of the 47 years that Donald Trump has been in the public eye, his political career spanned only four of those years.During almost all of the 43 remaining years, Donald Trump developed a well-earned reputation in Manhattan and around the business world:Trump doesn’t pay his vendors (on-time or ever in many cases);Trump doesn’t pay his debts or repay banks;Trump doesn’t pay his attorneys or legal bills.So if you needed a reminder of how Donald Trump operates and has always operated, you need not look further than his relationship with his brother in cognitive decline, Rudy Giuliani.Giuliani gave everything to Trump, most notably, the last remaining shred of his public professional credibility and his dignity. Giuliani barnstormed around the world, first cooking up absurdities about Joe Biden’s son in far-off places that led to Trump’s first Ukraine-based impeachment and then parachuting into states across the U.S. to push Trump’s utterly ludicrous election fiction that he was cheated.The more public airtime Giuliani got, the more ridiculous he looked. But he was Trump’s guy and seemed sure to be reaping a financial reward for selling his soul and his sanity for his old pal.It was all part of the Trump World grift, overcharge and then slide the bill over to someone else, preferably the taxpayer. So nobody was surprised during Trump’s final days if office when word got out that a furious Trump was refusing to pay Rudy for his legal work:Trump has instructed aides not to pay Giuliani’s legal fees, two officials said, and has demanded that he personally approve any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on the president’s behalf to challenge election results in key states.They said Trump has privately expressed concern with some of Giuliani’s moves and did not appreciate a demand from Giuliani for $20,000 a day in fees for his work attempting to overturn the election.Of course he was always going to stiff Giuliani!So knowing this, why on Earth would Rudy expect anything but a cold shoulder from Trump now that Dominion is suing Rudy back to the Stone Age?🔴 ⚪️ BREAKING NEWS UPDATE (1/31/2021): It’s not technically news if the events surprise nobody and happen almost on cue, but the poor fellow who took the job of spokesperson for citizen Donald Trump just announced that “by mutual decision”, the Lindsey Graham-recruited, South Carolina-sourced, four-person legal team determined that the best course for their (now ex-)client was to dissolve the entire impeachment defense operation a week before Mr. Trump is to stand trial.See footnote (††) for details. And a warm “thank you” to Mr. Trump for the timely assist in reinforcing the central argument of this answer… I’m sure my post weighed heavily on the decision-making process. ;-)More select examples of Trump stiffing his lawyers:The Atlantic City law firm of Levine Staller saved one of Trump’s companies tens of millions of dollars in taxes—and then sued the company, Trump Entertainment, after the business tried to pay Levine Staller $1.25 million less than the firm was owed.It wasn’t an isolated case.Trump underpaid at least four law firms or lawyers who worked for him, according to various news outlets that looked into Trump’s history of cheating his contractors. One of them, Morrison Cohen LLP of New York City, had represented Trump in a lawsuit against a construction contractor that Trump claimed had overcharged him for work on a golf course. According to USA Today, Trump sued Morrison Cohen for using the case to help promote its work, and the firm countersued for almost $500,000 in unpaid bills. The case was settled in 2009.It wasn’t just big amounts Trump tried to get out of paying, either.Bill Scherer, a lawyer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, had to sue Trump in 1994 to collect $5,000 in unpaid legal bills from a case Scherer won for the billionaire. The lawyer told Reuters last year that he had offered Trump a low rate to “curry favor” with the mogul, but still had to sue.“He’s a deadbeat,” Scherer told South Florida’s Sun-Sentinel newspaper. Trump told Reuters that he couldn’t remember Scherer or the case at all.Below is a partial timeline just from November 2020 of the drama on Trump’s legal team:Nov. 8:Snell & Wilmer, the largest law firm representing the Trump campaign, moves to withdraw from litigation in Arizona, a day after filing its lawsuit.Nov. 9:The New York Times reports widespread discomfort among employees of Jones Day, another large law firm that has represented Trump, who expressed concern that the firm was participating in Trump’s effort to undermine the integrity of elections.Nov. 10:A judge allows Snell & Wilmer to withdraw.Jones Day issues a statement saying it “is not representing President Trump, his campaign, or any affiliated party in any litigation alleging voter fraud.” (Some of Trump’s lawyers have stopped short of echoing his claims of outright fraud, even as they question the legitimacy of some ballots.) Jones Day emphasizes that it is “representing the Pennsylvania GOP” and says it will not withdraw from litigation.Nov. 12:Porter Wright Morris & Arthur, another large firm representing the Trump campaign, moves to withdraw from litigation in Pennsylvania four days after filing suit.Nov. 13:Jones Day tells employees that it won’t get involved in additional litigation.Trump puts Giuliani in charge after the campaign’s latest setback in Maricopa County, Ariz.Nov. 14:Trump makes Giuliani’s posting official and announces four others who will lead his team. Two of them are the husband-wife team of Joseph diGenova and Victoria Toensing, who were announced as new members of Trump’s legal team during the Russia investigation in 2018 but whose hiring was halted two days later over conflicts. The others are Sidney Powell, who most recently has served as lawyer to former Trump national security adviser Michael T. Flynn, and Jenna Ellis, the Trump campaign’s legal adviser. Both have promoted baseless allegations and suggestions of substantial voter fraud.Nov. 15:The Trump campaign narrows its lawsuit in PennsylvaniaPorter Wright Morris & Arthur is removed as counsel in the updated document.It is replaced by Texas lawyer John B. Scott, who joins Pennsylvania lawyer Linda A. Kerns on the case.Nov. 16:Scott, Kerns and a third lawyer in the Pennsylvania case, Douglas Bryan Hughes, move to withdraw.The judge allows Scott and Hughes to do so but not Kerns.Pennsylvania lawyer Scaringi joins the case as lead counsel, despite having said recently on his radio show that “in my view, the litigation will not work” and that “it will not reverse this election.”Scaringi asks for a delay in a scheduled hearing the following day, saying he and a colleague “need additional time to adequately prepare.”The motion is rejected.Nov. 17:Giuliani joins as counsel in the Pennsylvania case, appearing in court.Kerns declines an opportunity to speak, citing her request to withdraw.Nov. 19:The judge allows Kerns to withdraw.Nov. 22:The Trump campaign suddenly announces Powell is not part of its legal team.The move comes eight days after it introduced her as part of the team and three days after she appeared at a news conference with Giuliani in which she alleged a communist plot to rig the election and suggested even Republicans had participated in the rigging of their own elections.And this remarkable CNN graphic gives a sense of Trump’s management style and personnel practices including and beyond attorneys:SOURCES & REFERENCES:Trump loses entire defense team one week before impeachment trial:https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-changes-defense-team-just-over-a-week-before-impeachment-trial-is-set-to-begin/Trump begins speaking with impeachment lawyer, even as he scrambles to build defense teamCNN legal analyst: This may be why Trump's lawyers left - CNN VideoTrump's lead impeachment lawyers leave defense team just over a week before trial startsHere are the lawyers who quit or declined to represent Trump in the Mueller probeWho has left Trump's administration and orbit?Sun-Sentinel: Lawyers quit Trump (again)https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2017/08/politics/trump-admin-departures-trnd/FOOTNOTES:( †† ) From the Washington Post (1/30/2021): Former President Donald Trump's five impeachment defense attorneys have left a little more than a week before his trial is set to begin, according to people familiar with the case, amid a disagreement over his legal strategy.It was a dramatic development in the second impeachment trial for Trump, who has struggled to find lawyers willing to take his case. And now, with legal briefs due next week and a trial set to begin only days later, Trump is clinging to his election fraud charade and suddenly finds himself without legal representation.Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier, who were expected to be two of the lead attorneys, are no longer on the team. A source familiar with the changes said it was a mutual decision for both to leave the legal team. As the lead attorney, Bowers assembled the team.Josh Howard, a North Carolina attorney who was recently added to the team, has also left, according to another source familiar with the changes. Johnny Gasser and Greg Harris, from South Carolina, are no longer involved with the case, either.No other attorneys have announced they are working on Trump's impeachment defense.A person familiar with the departures told CNN that Trump wanted the attorneys to argue there was mass election fraud and that the election was stolen from him rather than focus on the legality of convicting a president after he's left office. Trump was not receptive to the discussions about how they should proceed in that regard.The attorneys had not yet been paid any advance fees and a letter of intent was never signed.

“There is a monolithic conspiracy controlled by a ‘shadow group’ that’s wrapped into the highest levels of military, science, education, government and intelligence. Their plans are of controlling and suppressing the people of earth - subduing them into slavery. Their pathway is to dissolve our holy books (Torah, Bible and the Quran), by attacking our Faith (fake news, scientism, global fear and war to offset prayer, faith and Religion), and to hide God (big bang, evolution, infinite universe, put forth globe earth - to hide the enclosed God created Flat Earth). This way we will be forced to rely on them and not on God. The intentions of such a ‘shadow group’ are both sinister and satanic.” - Godric/Eric RodriguezIf you don't follow so far - take it from a past President: JFK. Listen to where he says ‘Vast resources in Science’. That’s what got me.Please listen to the 2 minute video. He asks us to uncover this conspiracy. Some people thought he was talking about Comminusm. I don’t believe so. If he was talking about communism, he could have just said communism! He says he needs our help.Here is the 19 minute (uncut) speech so you don’t think I’m only editing out what I want.Make your own conclusions. Thanks.

When I was 19, I was seeking medical clearance for a mission to serve my beliefs. To try to expedite the process I went and saw a psychologist employed by my church, and paid to see him.The first appointment he went over my mental health history, and during the second appointment. I answered a very lengthy personality test. When I sat down in my third appointment, he asked me, “So when are you going to be translated?”I was flabbergasted. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, to be translated means to be so perfect that you are taken into heaven. When I asked for clarification he said that my personality test showed that I was perfect. He called me a liar. He said, “You will never be ready to serve a mission.”After unsuccessfully trying to reason with the man to see why he came to these conclusions, the man invited me to leave the appointment early, but to make sure I paid on the way out. In tears of anger I accepted the invitation and paid the full $80 even though I had only attended 10 minutes of the hour-long appointment.The next part is the kicker. Without my consent, and against the regulations of the church, this man wrote a letter to the leader ultimately responsible for approving me for a mission. This would be acceptable if the church had sponsored the visit but I had paid for the three visits myself. In the letter, he stated that my personality test showed that I had extreme trust issues, among other things, contrary to what he had accused me of. He vehemently recommended that I not be permitted to serve a mission.Despite the situation, my bishop said that he could not sign the form until this was overturned. I realize in retrospect that part of the reason the psychologist invited me to leave early was so that he could write this vicious letter while still being paid for his time. Ridiculous.Furious, I went to see the psychiatrist [edit: that I had been seeing on a regular basis for a decade] and told her what had happened. She was not a member of my church. Without being paid for the extra time (which was worth MUCH more than this petty psychologist), she took action.The psychologist from the church ultimately resigned and went into retirement, and never returned to psychology. I presume that his license was revoked.I ran into him, ironically enough, days before my mission started. It was poetic, though he was unapologetic and clearly believed that I was fooling everyone and had cost him his career. His only statement was, “I guess they decided you could serve after all." My only reply was, “Yes, they did” and I walked away.The story gets worse, however. This left an unknowing challenge in my brain to serve my mission regardless of circumstances. When severe physical complications occurred, I did not tell anyone. I took pain killers on an extended basis until they had destroyed my stomach lining. My teeth, despite my meticulous care of them, were dissolving before my eyes. I spent a great deal of energy hiding how sick I was because I did not want to return home. Every time I went to church I was terrified someone would realize just how sick I was and tell the mission president. Ultimately, this is what happened, but the mission president had just put me with a companion intent to refine my faith and overcome my trials, and he disregarded this.Finally, news reached my parents in some manner and they called the mission president. I was on a flight home, mixed with relief and distress, within 48 hours.12 years later, I still combat the health issues that could have been prevented. Many were issues I would have encountered regardless of the situation but were brought into play years or decades before they should have. Even in a country with public health care, I have incurred over $100,000 of dental and specialist expenses in my journey towards being healthy again. With another few years, I will obtain this, but I will never undo the damage to my stomach and I will obviously never get my teeth back. The few years to get me back is time to have additional dental implants and surgical procedures.I intentionally forgot this man's name. I forgive him over and over but find myself coming back to it at times. Perhaps this is why we are told to forgive 70 times 7.Edit: a couple spelling and grammar errors, an additional sentence for clarification.
