"SNIP.......

“Rudy Giuliani, who as former President Donald Trump’s lawyer helped lead the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, is in discussions with the House Jan. 6 committee about responding to its questions,“ the New York Times reports.

“The extent of any assistance that Mr. Giuliani might provide remains unclear and the negotiations could easily fall apart, especially as Mr. Trump continues to publicly rail against the investigation.”

I won't want to miss this douchebag completely implicating himself and Trump in the process.

There will be multiple posts sharing video's and offering opinion of what transpires....if it occurs. Really not sure what Rudi is "negotiating". I suspect he gets 2 options-

(1) Tell the truth
(2) Plead the 5th.

If (1), sadly, we may not see the Rudi Q and A play out, live, on the House Insurrection Investigation Show. If (2), he's pretty much guaranteeing himself some serious jail time.

That he realizes he's in trouble, and with the realization that Trump isn't paying him what he owes him, that the possibility of immunity will solve one of these problems.

sooner or later will actually realize that he's been had - he's a fool - and he had best do whatever he can to get out of the swamp and 'fess up!'

He was a brilliant, successful man in his past 'sane' life. What is the power, the 'draw' of such scum as TFG that allows someone to throw it all away?

Fame fades unless one actively pursues it. Famehogs often get stuck in the muck.

He’s fallen out of the spotlight so no more free booze for that lush.
