Under The Bus You Go, Rudy: Trump Claims He Didn’t Tell Giuliani To Go To Ukraine

It was only a matter of time.

During a radio interview with former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on Tuesday, President Donald Trump attempted to distance himself from his personal lawyer’s efforts to dig up dirt on 2020 candidate Joe Biden in Ukraine.

So, waiting on that insurance, Rudy

Stupid move by Trump. He had a starring role in a federal indictment that came out of nowhere because he threw Cohen under the bus. Limited options for Rudy here but to tell what he knows and cut a deal.

Also, with the WH Counsel now leaking bigly for the 2nd time on Trump being informed about the WB complaint before dropping the extortion scheme, we can surmise that the GOP unity front is a facade. They are all working behind the scenes on their CYA memos and throwing people under the bus.

Naw… Giuliani is a good sport he will take it in the chin, is not like he is going to get prosecuted or anything, he will be able to continue selling influence, he just won’t get invityed to Mar-a-Lago anymore, which he probably didn’t even like going.

The insurance plan is only good if you call it in Rudy. Now would be the time.

Tell that one to Cohen.

Cohen lost his nerve and ratted, Giuliani won’t.

He treats everyone the way he treated(s) his wives. Get ‘me while they’re fresh, start cheating on them, then toss them aside when they no longer serve your purpose. Or the way he treated contractors and banks and others he used and abused in business.
By now you’d think the people working for him would realize that it’s all only about him and his only “loyalty” is to himself, and maybe Ivanka. Every one of them is dispensable and disposable and usually deplorable.

Not directly OT but that pic is really, really old! (from '16)

Shithead looks like he’s a good 50-75 lbs. thinner and Uncle Fester still looks semi-lucid. Three years can really fuck you up a lot, to which most of us living this nightmare can attest.

So? It’s not like Trump can be or is capable of being ashamed of his proximity to crime. He’s not in jail, he’s still in office. So as far as he’s concerned, he won. Cohen lost. Cohen’s a loser. #winning

He’s using the same play again because it worked the last time. And several times before that, no doubt.

Ah the I didn’t say it defense. He obviously managed to work that out with Sondland. Maybe Rudy’s going to give him cover too.

Only thing, Rudy’s is in way deeper and he’s got for sure actionable stuff to answer for. This will be interesting, if not good for a laugh.

Nah, if there was only one seat in the lifeboat, he’d take it for himself. There is literally no one he cares about, let alone loves, more than himself.

Those fucking evangelical hypocrites outta think about that when they delude themselves into believing he’s anything more than a shitstain.

“But Rudy…I don’t even know…”

Trump came that close to saying he didn’t know the guy at all.

The road to hell is paved with Rudy Giuliani.

I guess I think his narcissism would still respond to the fact that if all his children die, he’s removing himself from the gene pool. It’s no accident he’s got 5 or 6 kids.

I believe he barely knew the guy.

tRUMP kind of stuttered when asked about Rudy. I think he was going to do his "don’t know him…never met him™ " routine but thought better of it.

Beat me to it…dang :zipper_mouth_face:
