He also claimed the case could have been proved years ago, adding that no witnesses are needed as all the necessary evidence can be found on Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Mr Giuliani said that James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and Jim Jordan, the House Judiciary chairman, “are wonderful guys, but this is my profession, not theirs. I know how to question a lot better than they do. This is what I do best” ...

21. Just plain old drunk.

He's disbarred. I suppose the repubs wouldn't care about that. They don't care about doing things that make sense on most things, so yeah, I could see it.

[imanamerican63]

16. That passing of gas isn't from the bottom!

[NowISeetheLight]

He's gotta stay hydrated.

[madinmaryland]

[Solly Mack]

31. He really needs to lay down already.

[N.I.4.N.I.2023]

32. The Senate has the sole power to try an impeachment

Is there any rule against the Senate refusing to?

Just voted guilty or not, I think.

[BlueIdaho]

40. How the mighty have fallen.

Once “America’s Mayor” now a pathetic drunk with a wet brain looking for a handout.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

43. He was never 'America's Mayor'

To decent or sane people.

Only to morons and traitors.

[Hekate]

48. How were we supposed to know unless we lived in New Yawk? It's a big country. So yeah, for a week

…. he got the moniker and lived it. Then all kinds of crap hit the fan, like Rudy’s good buddy Bernie Kerik having a love nest at NYC’s expense. But I think it was primarily Democratic news-junkies like us who kept any kind of score.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

51. I've never even been to NYC

And I knew in the 90s he was a slimeball.

Like you said, though, it was a news-junkie thing.

Plus, I knew a great many NYC residents who hated his guts, and knew all the inside dirt. One was a NY Daily News reporter, LOL. She had nothing good to say about him, and had sort of made it her life's work to make him a pariah.

[dchill]

41. This article is the nexus of Reality and the Onion.

[StoolPigeon]

42. My guess

He thinks that this would make him a government employee so that he can have his RICO case transfered to federal court.

[MissMillie]

44. He needs the $$$

Can he do this w/o a license?

[Maeve]

45. Don't you have enough legal issues of your own to take care of?

[mwb970]

46. Dear God, will the stupid never end?

Can't we just get RID of these people somehow? This is absurd.

[Hekate]

47. That should be a sight to behold: drunk Rudy, farting randomly, hair dye running on his sweaty face

Go right ahead. The House clown show doesn’t have enough clowns in the Big Tent yet.

[Buns_of_Fire]

49. I'm all for it. If anyone could possibly get

the entire Nazipublican caucus kicked out of congress for doing this, it's Rooody.

[DFW]

50. I find it a perfecdtly logical move for Giuliani to request this. After all, if he lands this gig:

THIS time, he'll actually get paid!!
