Giuliani: State Dept. Asked Me To Meet With Ukrainian Prez’s Aide | Talking Points Memo

[morrigan_2575]

I think that’s the MO. He basically incriminates and then blathers on to the point that it becomes, so what if Trump shot someone on 5th Avenue, he’s the President, he can kill anyone he wants!

[nydan516]

Agreed, I’ll put my shovel away.

@becca656

Does Rudy not understand that, every time he opens his mouth, he either incriminates himself or Trump?

Does he need his jaw wired shut or something???

Just let him talk…

“John Gotti asked me to whack that stool pigeon!”

“Jeffrey Dahmer asked me to eat the eyeballs of that teenaged drifter!”

“Jeffrey Epstein asked me to rent a bloc of hotel rooms for the Girl Scout troop he invited to watch Disney movies and play with his puppies!”

I don’t think Rudy gets the point of this whole lawyering thingy.

No need, lend it to the newly interned Kushner family so they can grow a nice garden during their alloted 15 minute excersize period.

When do we get to Giuliani and Pompeo aiming their locked and loaded guns at each other?

@cvilledem

And we taxpayers funded his first class airfare etc as well

I think we need to know who actually did pay for the trip. How is Trump paying Rudy? Govt money? Personal funds? Campaign funds? Makes a huge difference.

So have we impeached the motherfucker yet?

I thought the State Dept had envoys for these kinds of missions.

Rudy is the guy in the basement looking for a gas leak with a lit match.

Well, that is a fairly effective way of finding one.

There may be certain side effects.

@commiedearest

Does he think this makes it better? That widening the conspiracy is exculpatory? Is he really this stupid, or is it a grand plan to destroy any notion that the Executive can act lawlessly? I lean toward the former.

And I toward the latter. With the caveat, of course, that their belief in the latter informs their demonstration of the former.

[nellieh]

Giuliani is more full of crap than a Christmas Goose. His horse pucky is piled almost as high as his client’s.

[yskov]

On a side note, I’ve been watching “The Family” documentary on Netflix.

@tsp

Bye-bye, Pompeo.

Giuliani throwing everyone under the bus. It sounds like it may be simpler to count the Trump officials not incriminated in this illegal scheme.

[afblac]

Exactly, they have people that work for State that are supposed to do the liaison work. You don’t ask someone’s personal attorney is on the government payroll to do foreign policy. This isn’t the CIA. So, if this is true, we now have evidence that Pompeo is as corrupt as Barr.

[jquas2sunset]

So Pompeo was aware of this? Might this hinder his climb to run for POTUS in 2024? Will anyone remember? Well the Dem’s could sure help that information last and also assist in finding even more damaging information.

[artmofo]

I feel compelled to make 2 points here:

1. Rudy will never repeat this under oath.

2. As Corey Lewandowski recently reminded us, Rudy is under no obligation to tell the truth on the Hannity show.
