Strange silence from/about Giuliani......why?

Think about it. Giuliani had lots to say about the Clinton emails and is a former prosecutor. But he has gone strangely silent on the Clinton emails, James Comey, and the Russian/Trump connection. You know he has to be stewing about all of this. So why the silence?

3. It may be the same reason why we don't hear anything from Chris Christie.

Humiliation over being obsequious sycophants, being used, and then discarded.

Plus Guiliani's "help" concerning the origin of the Muslim Ban wording was not helpful to 45's court case. I expect he is not wanted and/or finally realized that it is not a great place to be. Plus his frequent talks with FBI friends may convince him to finally shut up.

They know what is about to happen, and want no part of being connected to that man any longer.

I have been wondering the same thing about Bannon. Other than an article published by WAPO afew days ago (link below), there hasn't been much mention of him lately. Surely he is balls-deep in the Trump Treason Train as it goes off the rails. Are any journalists speculating the extent of his involvement?

8. Anyone with half a brain is dropping Trump like a flaming bag of dog crap!

Especially anyone who wants to have a political future in NY or NJ. Trump is especially hated in densely populated areas of those states.

"President-elect Donald Trump announced the addition of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to a White House team tasked with improving cyber security both within the government and private sector Thursday morning."

Good job Rudy!

Maybe he's helping Exxon fix their email issues.

running their mouths on national TV about having "something up their sleeve" just a couple of days before Comey cratered Hillary's surging campaign late last October with his bogus e-mail announcement. Or that we will forget to ask for the identities of the FBI agents (later amended to "former FBI agents&quot he claimed were passing along the phony "classified information" that he was blabbing to the press.

Any public statement can come back to bite him or contradict sworn testimony.

And the part of his brain that used to be a prosecutor realizes its really bad. He is trying to not get caught in what is about to come down.
