As someone who consumes the news and then tries to provide additional value, I am floored by this latest scandal involving Rudy Giuliani. I feel like I’m drinking out of a firehose. How could I possibly take in all this incriminating information that is spilling out everywhere and quickly do it justice in a blog post?
My god! This is the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever seen in all my years of watching American politics. I don’t have the foggiest idea where to start. I know I am watching a thread unravel here but I think the hidden ball of yarn must be the size of China.
Giuliani is the single biggest moron I have ever seen in public life. He makes Trump look like a certified genius by comparison.
The most amazing part is that his co-pilot in all of this is William Barr, the attorney general of the United States. And Barr could do nothing but stand by and watch as these folks left having lunch with Giuliani and tried to flee the country to avoid testifying to Congress only to be apprehended and charged with laundering Russian money to Republican officeholders.
In this case, I am just going to let Twitter fill you in and hope I can get my arms around it by morning.

Hopefully you can see why I feel a little paralyzed. And I’ve only scratched the surface here.
Make sure you’re reading Murray Waas reporting on this. He’s in New York Review of Books.
And don’t miss the timing. We need to nail down dates of when the first missile delay to Ukraine happened. Ofc, it all comes back to the original Russia scandal, but they’re just the nexus for the international criminal syndicate spanning Turkey, UAE, KSA, Israel, and Russia. So Giuliani crime isn’t the “biggest one”, just another piece in the largest international conspiracy in history.
A small but growing number of Republicans are furiously pouring through their contract with the Devil, desperately looking for a loophole.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow morning.
The disorder rages in the institutions of power.
You know Madge … it’s getting to look like this is almost as big as Watergate.
(Just kidding. Nixon and his crew were amateur hour compared to these clowns.)
Trump has taught us the real meaning of constitutional crisis. We have a king it seems.
Comrades United. Is the whole thing going to unravel now?
