I don’t know about y’all but this doesn’t surprise me one little bit after his behavior the past few years.

It felt inevitable.

Wonder who all he’ll take down with him… Wonder what Spankee is gonna do without his mouthpiece… Wonder what Spankee will do to divert from this…(dog forbid — the betrayal of the Kurds is horrid enough).

the same outfit Giuliani used to run, ironically.

Thought he was smarter than the cops

This will be interesting…the investigation is public, which normally doesn’t happen, so at least someone is trying to make sure that Barr interference is made public if it happens. That speaks to DoJ personnel who do not trust DC to investigate Giuliani fairly. Giuliani himself is in deep trouble, he doesn’t have any way to use executive privilege to cover himself as he’s not a government employee, and the things he has been doing are not ones that a private citizen should do.

And, this is all good, it’s going to take investigations to root out the corruption, and this is likely only the start of where this goes.

Wonder when reporters will start asking Barr if he’ll recuse himself.

Giuliani was always a wanna-be mobster. They wouldn’t let him in, so he went on the law side of the mob (not much difference, really, except in how their funding is sourced).

“According to ABC News, the probe is being spearheaded by the FBI field office in New York and prosecutors at the SDNY — the same outfit Giuliani used to run, ironically.”

I had the foresight to include language in my Advance Healthcare Directive to pull the plug in the event of failure by both the Schadenfreude EpiPen and the Schadenfreude defibrillator.

Even the looks aren’t so terribly far off…

Ghouliani being a target of the investigation is likely to drive him crazy. Ironically, no one will be able to tell the difference.

Coming soon…Coverup General Barr’s summary of summary about Giuliani’s Investigation!

Oh, of course he won’t. Just want to see him squirm and dodge the questions.

Wouldn’t it be great if somehow they could get him on RICO charges?

Would be no surprise if they caught Giuliani on a wire tap directed at his Russian friends. This is so much fun!

They’re so deluded, they probably think that if they can just come up with some evidence of their 2016 conspiracy theory, all of this will just go away. Thus Barr will keep running around the globe desperately undermining our intelligence services and trashing us with our allies. To the extent we still have any allies.

Wonder how many people he put away who are still hanging around inside and would love to get reacquainted.

He is and will claim attorney-client privilege with the president, even though he hasn’t been paid and I doubt there is any services contract. He claims to have been working for him pro bono.
