President Trump’s personal attorney told reporters earlier this week that he was not only interested in testifying during a possible Senate impeachment trial, but he’d also like to help run the whole show.
Three possibilities, any one of which could have been operating during this absolute mental-case red carpet spray:
(1) He was drunk off his ass,
(2) He was just babbling word-salad a la Fox News appearances,
(3) He was completely confused and thought he was being asked if he’d be willing to prosecute an anti-Biden corruption case.
“I would testify, I would do demonstrations, I’d give lectures, I’d give summations. Or, I do what I do best, I try the case,” he said. “I’d love to try the case. … I don’t know if anybody would have the courage to give me the case, but if you give me the case, I will prosecute it as a racketeering case.”
I sure do get a bit of cognitive dissonance going on when people I respect warn this guy is dangerous and should be taken seriously and I believe that to be true when at the same time he’s out there every day being so counterproductively sloppy and ridiculous. But that’s kind of a trend, isn’t it? Everywhere you look are people like that. SMH.
e) all of the above, brought to you by the good people at (1)
The unzipped pants episode has put him safely in the nutty column. Sure crazy old men can be dangerous, but they’re more likely to hurt themselves at this point. Rudy proves that every time he opens his mouth. Much like his client.
I’m trying to visualize the trial he is suggesting. The House Managers would present the case against the President, and Giuliani would…rail against Biden? Producing the evidence that even Lindsey Graham doubts?
There is that. And drooling on himself. But I think the thing to remember is that as long as these people can harm others, in any way, as long as they’re not led away to get the help they need—in jail—you have to take them a little bit seriously and it’s too bad for our cognitive dissonance. It’s just weird is all.
“I don’t know if anybody would have the courage to give me the case,”
Dude, ain’t that the f*ing truth. No one, not even those severely afflicted with dementia, like POTUS, would let you near a courtroom of any kind to open your mouth.
