Texts Expose Giuliani Legal Team's Divisive Election 'Circus' And Requests For Cash

Source: TPM

By Josh Kovensky and Hunter Walker | December 14, 2022 6:34 p.m.

It was just shy of six weeks after the 2020 election and Jason Miller, a top campaign adviser to former President Trump, had a problem. 

Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, who was playing a leading part in the campaign’s efforts to dispute the result, wanted to blast out a press release. It focused on thoroughly debunked conspiracy theories related to Dominion, a voting systems company that would later sue Giuliani for defamation. 

In a text to Mark Meadows, Trump’s White House chief of staff, Miller indicated that others in Trumpworld had concerns about Giuliani’s release. Miller wanted Meadows to intervene and help shut it down.

Hi Chief – sorry to be a stalker, but I wanted to make sure you saw the Dominion/Michigan release I emailed to you for review. The Mayor wants to put it out right away, but Eric (rightfully) thinks it doesn’t make any sense. This would be the first time shooting down a Rudy press release request, so I wanted to get your take on this as well. Thank you, Jason

The above puts me in mind of same improbable scenario. A gaggle of baboons with infinite money threw anything they could think of at the wall to see what would stick.
