I don’t know. I think Giuliani has crapped himself on live TV a number of times…he used to prosecute mobsters. I think he understands how deep IN he is…I can’t believe somebody with that kind of knowledge would ever put their ass in that particular crack and expect a different outcome. I think he knows…I just can’t believe he was so stoopid to do it. My guess is he thought he was smart enough to beat such a racket, or avaricious enough to risk it.

It was indeed epic. And every goddamn person at that table knew it was absolutely, positively true. It will be the climactic scene of a movie one day … or an opera (I keep envisioning an opera because the corruption is on such a grand scale) or both!

It’s okay, I should have added: "..because his ass needs to be in jail until trial.

Unless you can get smuggled out of the country on a Colombian cigarette boat real fast, messing with the ankle bracelet is a bad idea, Lev.
1 – The first hurdle is the bracelet. The bracelet carries within it a fiber optic cable that if broken cut or bent to the point it cracks creates an alarm. If the unit does not detect or detects an interruption it will set off an alarm. Consequences for breaking is going back to Jail, or at least a violation of the house arrest terms. I have yet to see anyone able to overcome this hurdle.
2- A GPS jammer. Good try however we can detect this jammer electronically which sends an alarm to your parole officer. Plus we can track you via cell signal. Here is a quote from one manufacturer on their product.
“Recently, there has been an increase in awareness of GPS jammers by law enforcement agencies. These ILLEGAL devices are available through many distribution channels and their cost has decreased to a point where many people can afford them.”
Using proprietary technology, “Ankle Bracelet” can send you a notification when an offender may be attempting to jam the GPS signals. First, yes, they are illegal to own and operate. It is a violation of Federal law.
Second, they have limited range and functionality. Third, the GPS monitoring device can tell you if an offender is attempting to jam the GPS signal. No other GPS monitoring device available on the market today can provide this information.”
3- Cell Phone Signal Jammer- Guess what, this can be detected too. So another alarm gets sent and another violation ensues.
4- Aluminum Foil around the bracelet. Yes, we can detect this as well. Here is another quote from the manufacturer. Keep in mind this was 2011 and the technology has only gotten better. When BluTag’s ability to detect an enrollee’s deliberate attempt to shield, or block, the GPS signal was first introduced, many agencies felt it was just another alert. This may have been a premature reaction to an important event that needs closer scrutiny. Now many of those early detractors are the biggest supporter of this valuable tool.
5- The last way to bypass your house arrest bracelet is to let the battery die, this will effectively shut down the system and you do disappear from radar. Be careful the moment the battery starts to die, a signal is sent prior to the unit going dead. Notifying your officer of the event. Now, this might be the simplest way to bypass the system. but you might get away with this once depending on your officer. but as many as you know, this too is a violation. In some jurisdictions, if you fail to recharge your battery, you go back to jail for non-compliance.
These are just a few of the attempts and countermeasures in your ankle bracelet. So next time you consider trying to bypass the system keep in mind that you are probably not the first who tried to do it. Chances are we have already developed the technology to counter any attempts to circumvent the house arrest device.
My advice to anyone who is under house arrest is to simply abide by the rules and your time will be over before you know it. Besides, it beats sharing a jail cell with someone who likes your cute behind. Think about it.

Is there anything to the idea that he might want to come clean? He’s mad at Trump for disowning him, he has a genius son in law school, and he’s looking at a lot of good evidence to put him away for 5-10. Might he want to be on the right side of history?

Here’s part of an article from WaPo about Harvey Weinstein and his electronic monitoring. Doesn’t sound like this is fool proof. Just thinking about Parnas.
Prosecutor Joan Illuzzi first raised Weinstein’s alleged bail violations at a hearing last Friday, saying that he’d left his whereabouts unrecorded for hours at a time by repeatedly, purposely leaving at home a piece of the monitoring technology that keeps the ankle bracelet activated.
Illuzzi said Wednesday there were 57 violations in less than two months.
Rotunno has denied it was anything deliberate, blaming “technical glitches” like dead batteries and said it had nothing to do with manipulation of the bracelet, though she acknowledged that on at least one occasion, he’d forgotten part of the device at house.
But on Wednesday, Illuzzi told the court that the person monitoring Weinstein does not believe the problems were due to technical glitches, but rather intentional acts by Weinstein because “didn’t want anyone to know where he was.”
