Oh Rudy you jocular prankster.
You wannabe millionaire gangster.
You are the joke
You pathetic jamoke,
You and your clients are wanksters.

We can only hope that Guliani will be testifying under oath at a Senate impeachment trail.

He wasn’t a government employee, so it would seem difficult for him to claim executive privilege. We shall see.

Given that he was in Ukraine for one of his other clients, not Trump, it’s hard to see why there would be any claim of executive privilege at all.

Trump’s lack of concern became even more apparent

Not sure that his feigning of unconcern translates into an actual lack of concern. In reality, it probably works the other way around.

I joke!

No, really, I mean it.

Kidding!

But I do have the evidence.

I’m joking!

Too late, Rudy, SDNY already heard you. They know you have documents, and they’re going to get them. (Hopefully also Schiff through subpoenas in the Senate trial.)
