Barr and Trump will protect Rudy like a Fabergé egg being packed for shipment to Sotheby’s. Subpoenas for his testimony will be fought and litigated all the way to SCOTUS if necessary. And if he fails at all that he’ll move somewhere that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the U.S. Or else.

Mayor Rudi will be on Air Force One when Trump flies it to Moscow for his abrupt retirement! They will be hailed as Russian Patriots. Trump Tower Moscow will be built!

“My recollection is that Ambassador Sondland stated, ‘Dammit Rudy. Every time Rudy gets involved he goes and f—s everything up.'”

So…you’re telling me Sondland doesn’t love Rudy’s ass? That’s the gibe I’m picking up…Im only surprised he didn’t yell this across a crowded restaurant.

Michael Cohen’s getting a roommate.
