With how much he talks, the gnashing of his teeth would cut right through it.
So has Giuliani gone completely rogue? Has Trump made a statement supporting or denouncing Giuliani (either for the actual ukraine stuff or just for constantly leaking stuff as of late).
They better be getting all those texts and the data behind them. I always fear these fucks are trying to fake this stuff.
I don't understand Rudy's play. What's the strategy behind all of this? Why would Trump or his lawyers allow Rudy to keep giving interviews?
My take: they're opening the floodgates of information in a bid to get the House to vote to impeach by the end of this year rather than have them drag this out right up to the 2020 election.
They believe impeachment helps their 2020 chances, but an ongoing shadow of it hurts.

They tried to softly burn Rudy. Rudy will not go down alone. He's not Cohen who initially tried to just be the fall guy in the hopes of special treatment.
"Who's texting?"
I like Trevor Noah a lot..but MAN do I wish Stewart was around for this shit
Dems have already made it clear that they don't want impeachment to drag either (they'll just add ignoring of subpoenas to the articles of impeachment like watergate) so there isn't any rational play here.
And then it was discovered that Donald Trump sexually assaulted Rudy's daughter in the early 90s, leading to his decades long quest for vengeance.
Or Rude is just an idiot.

I don't see how Rudy could even be punished for anything he's doing. Who will go after him? Barr's DoJ?
Rudy must not be getting that call he is looking for from Trump.

The gist is, Rudy is trying to convince the world that his communications with Ukraine weren't just at the behest of the President, for personal gain. He's ATTEMPTING to rope in the whole State Department to demonstrate, "look, see?! It was official US business, simply to investigate Ukraine corruption, not just aid in federal elections."
This argument is weak in the wake of Trump's own release of the memo, where interest in Ukraine President is solely for the purpose of election interference, and Giuliani's play at making his communications seem officially State Department sanctioned, only make it clear that the State Department was aware of Trump/Rudy pressuring Ukraine for information on his political rival.
Nothing released from Giuliani indicates that the State Department ORDERED Giuliani to investigate corruption. And if that actually happened, there would be a clear memo/paper trail of official business. The fact that Giuliani/the State Department can't produce this probably means it never happened, and this is just blatant corruption.
"Who's texting?"
These people have helpers who do their phones and other stuff like Twitter.
To quote a friend, "Rudy: I don't need to get away from this investigation; I only need to run faster than you ... and you ... and ...."
haha. Yeah right. That would mean they actually have a plan. They don't.
Trump fired everyone in the administration capable of putting together a plan.
Not mine, but I'm going to make it happen or my name isn't Gretchen Weiners.
