President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani is still deciding whether he will comply with House Democrats’ subpoena to appear for testimony, and claimed he had “video tapes” and other “evidence” he wants to share with Congress.
Sadly, it was right in front of us the entire time. Rudy himself performed the deed in drag all those years ago in a lonely Moscow hotel. Of course he has tapes, a memento of happier times with his one true love.
Tapes? And he no doubt thinks he can roll in and just toss these never before seen “tapes” into a player and let them have their world premiere - live in a congressional investigation.
The moment someone asks to see them in advance in order to verify authenticity … Rudy will scream foul! and refuse to share.
My first thought was "what could he possibly have on tape? I wonder if the “tapes” are fictional and he’s playing chicken with Schiff. (You don’t know what I have, so you won’t bring me in because the other side as as corrupt as we are.)
Then I thought that perhaps they are tapes of him after 9-11 being “America’s Mayor.”
(If Biden’s only service to his country was coining the phrase “Non, verb, and 9-11.” It shut down Rudy’s self aggrandizement tour, and we haven’t heard much about it since then.)
The House isn’t going to lock him up any more than they will anyone else. All this huffing and puffing about “inherent powers to hold someone in contempt” is pretty much bluster, and apparently ineffectual bluster at that.
Giuliani has figured out how to play: yell “stop me before I kill again!” as many times as possible, knowing nothing is really going to happen to you. Sure, you can overplay it in the long term, but no one is seriously doing much. After all, has someone filed an ethics complaint with the NY bar association? Nope. They’ve not even put out a generic “we expect lawyers to behave well” memo. Oh, and by the way, if you thought the American Bar Association was some powerful, national group with influence over lawyers, guess again: it has as much power as the Mickey Mouse Club does overs its members.
Sure, because if they had one tiny piece of evidence about this Obama-Clinton conspiracy they wouldn’t have blanketed the Fox airwaves with it a thousand times over by now.
