U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken for the Southern District of New York ordered the letters unsealed on Tuesday, after denying Giuliani what he sought: a review of evidence seized by the FBI in the case to date.

Poor Rudy: he’s being denied the privilege he asserted as Mayor of 9/11.

Just as long as they’re concurrently looking at Mar-e-coli for un-named conspirator #1.

  • Evidence of knowledge of FARA laws

Isn’t FARA one of those rare laws where ignorance is an excuse, or does proven knowledge just result in a sentencing enhancement?

Didn’t we find out last week that Giuliani met with Jeff sessions about Turkey in 2017?

Is someone investigating that?

Looks like Rudy may “go through some things”. Here’s hoping one of them is Rikers Island.

Having a Special Master go through his documents would cause him great financial pain? How exactly?

Just what is in those documents that Rudy does not want the Feds to see?

All of it, Katie. I’d guess that any one of those six categories would yield indictments. How many categories will Rudy get excluded? Zip. Zero. Nada. Per @generalsternwood, Rudes is fried.

Thanks to Rudy’s Ukraine shenanagins, our diplomat Marie Yovanovich was informed by one of her colleagues that she should leave her post for her own safety. Besides concocting a disinformation campaign to remove her, he might have gotten her killed.

When is what I want to know.

Goppers get all worked up over deadbeats getting tax dollars (a relatively trivial amount), I get chapped seeing people like him breathing.

Freedom I mean. Breathing the air outside of the prison he and his ilk ought to be in.

How far can “America’s Mayor” fall?

Former Chief of the SDNY, which is now going to put him in prison.

That’s how far.

Follow a corrupt, narcissistic dolt…become a corrupt, narcissistic dolt.

He was a goddamned US Attorney. He can’t possibly claim ignorance of FARA.

No matter how far Rudy falls, it isn’t enough.

Rudy’s going down…mark it, Dude!

They don’t seem to be as upset about the $160B or so that is dodged each year by the 1% though.
