‘Rudy’s A Great Guy’

Translation: "Rudy is a criminal and a traitor."

I can think of no more damning indictment.

Rudy is to fighting corruption as Trump is to reading and knowing things.

They have no peers.

Amazing that “I don’t know, he’s a great guy” is now an acceptable answer form a President.

We’re almost there!:

I wouldn’t be so cavalier. Rudy’s a scatterbrained conspiracy-mongering friendly-fire disaster when he is, by his lights, trying to help you.

Somewhere down the road, the notion of consequence is going to penetrate Trump’s lizard brain.

If he did not have that capability, he would not have retreated at various times in the Past.

He is good enough in hiding his actual fears for the purposes of influencing remarkably compliant collections of Moscow McConnell’s U.S. Senators.

But that consequences notion is going to start with a flicker…than a candle, then a flashlight, then a searchlight…then a blinding flash of understanding.

“What do you think of Rudy Giuliani saying he has ‘insurance?’” a reporter asked Monday during a media scrum in the Oval Office.

Oh, I don’t know,” Trump replied. “Rudy’s a great guy.”

I’m going to use them to protect myself if and when I need them,” he said.
Well Rudy,
keep them close, you are going to be needing them soon.
trump called you a “great guy” today,
Tomorrow? maybe not.
once you get the “I hardly know the guy”, your numbers up.
Have fun

Giuliani’s communications from the State Dept come from Pompeo, guaranteed…everyone below him seemed to look askance at the whole deal, but for Pompeo it was probably required to help Trump so that he would get support for his Senate run. I really hope Giuliani pulls the rip cord on this stuff before the 2020 election, so that he spoils as many Republican’s hopes as possible in his effort to save his own ass.

Until he isn’t. Then it’s the nearest bus.
But I wonder what does Rudy have on donnie? (pee tape copy??)

I would have thought that would’ve set in by now. But then we are dealing with a guy who just ain’t right in the head.

I would think that, but I note that:

  1. I think it’s plain as day that, while never a sharp tack, the dotard is considerably more addled than even five years ago.
  2. There is reason to think that the very big, very beautiful, very perfect TOTAL EXONERATION from the Mueller Report made him think he’s invincible, and he very badly wants to believe that anyway, so this notion is lodged especially firmly in the cranium.

Today: “Rudy’s a great guy.”

Two weeks from now (after indictments are handed down):

“Rudy? Who’s Rudy. Never met him.”

McGahn must testify. Cannot ignore congr. subpoena.

Trump lacks even one redeeming value. None. Zero. Nada.

The last ‘great guy’ who was a lawyer for 45* traded in his blue plaid jacket for an orange jumpsuit.

Seems to me Giuliani’s talk about insurance is an admission he has knowledge of crimes his client has committed but is not informing the authorities about them, which is illegal and unethical by Bar Association standards.
