In reply to the discussion: Rudy Giuliani will not face criminal charges in foreign lobbying case, prosecutors say [View all]BumRushDaShow
(170,255 posts)34. The case being discussed in the OP was brought under Bill Barr
not Garland. It was part of the Mueller probe that Barr effectively knee-capped.
See what is posted here - https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=2994813
The previous SDNY US Attorney under 45 was "removed" and that pretty much made a mess of the whole thing.
The mess was further complicated by Barr-appointed Special Prosecutor John Durham, who as of last month, lost the last of what became a 3rd case ending in acquittal, related to 45's faux outrage over "Russian collusion".
Ghouliani is under far worse legal jeopardy.
