Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said Thursday night that Democrats want to “kill” him because of supposed insider information he has about Hunter Biden and Burisma.
Though he insisted he could “prove” his conspiracy theories, all he offered up was a document allegedly from the Latvian government to the Ukrainian government suggesting that Hunter Biden was involved in “a corruption affair.”
He triumphantly declared the alleged letter a “smoking gun.”
“We are going to reveal the whole thing. It’s not just Biden – it’s a bunch of Democrats. That’s why they are so crazy on the subject of Ukraine and why they want to kill me — literally kill me.”
The way he lays the groundwork for his own acquittal by reason of insanity is utterly convincing.
This is all part of the Trumpian long game. Rudy claims the Democrats “literally” want to kill him. Trump kills him in the middle of 5th Avenue and claims the Democrats did it. Republicans in the Senate refuse to take testimony from the several thousand witnesses or watch any of the cell phone video, claiming that New Yorkers are biased against the president and vote to acquit. Trump wins re-election. Everyone who matters (28 to 30% of voters) is happy.
As Giuliani complained about Democrats “literally” wanting to kill him, he was literally drooling with his fly literally open.
For your reading pleasure:
Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. Wouldn’t waste the effort but really do look forward to your going away for good to tell the truth. I particularly like most the “bunch of Dems” idea now that Joe is sucking wind. Whoever the Dem nominee is has been colluding with the Ukraine. We’ll fill in the name later.
Very dangerous rhetoric. A way of justifying violence against your opponents is to make the false claim that they are desiring/plotting violence against you.
