Somewhat reminds me of a segment in one of those episodes of "World's Dumbest Criminals" in which a thief snatches a woman's handbag, but a cop catches him and brings him back to the scene. The cop then asks the woman "Is this the person?", but before the woman has a chance replay and identify him, the thief says "Yes officer, this is the person I stole the bag from"..... oopsie!

As has been noted, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has suggested it is Rudy Giuliani who should be investigated, investigated for making a false report to police.
Quote:
Giuliani had been at the Staten Island store campaigning for his son Andrew, who was running in the New York Republican Party primary for governor. Following the incident Andrew Giuliani released the following press statement:

The formerly highly respected Rudy Giuliani has now publicly announced that he is in serious trouble.
To wit: https://www.yahoo.com/news/judge-rej...151832705.html Rudy Giuliani informed he's a target of probe into Trump’s alleged election interference in Georgia WASHINGTON — Rudy Giuliani is a "target" of the criminal investigation into possible 2020 election interference in Georgia by former President Donald Trump and others, his attorney told NBC News. The lawyer, Robert Costello, said the Georgia prosecutors initially told New York courts — as part of their efforts to compel Giuliani’s testimony — that Giuliani was a material witness. Now, Costello said they were informed Monday that he is a "target" of the probe. ... The grand jury, called by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, subpoenaed Giuliani in July as a "material witness" as part of its investigation into "coordinated attempts to unlawfully alter the outcome of the 2020 elections." The subpoena said Giuliani made statements at legislative hearings in Georgia falsely claiming that there had been "widespread voter fraud" in the state. ... |

I haven't seen Giuliani doing much lawyering for Trump lately.

There are two good reasons why you have not seen such a thing.
The first is that some time ago, Trump fired Giuliani and then Trump refused to pay Giuliani for the work that he did for Trump. The second is that later on, Giuliani got his license to practice law suspended. |

This article makes it sound like he's suffering from dementia or something. I mean he sounds totally out there. Too bad we can't watch or hear it. I guess. How many careers and people have been destroyed for showing any kind of allegiance toward Trump, or even doing business with him? America itself is a victim. <raises eyebrow>...."fascinating!" I think I could handle this easier if Trump were an intelligent man, worthy in some small way of at least a shred of respect as an opponent. But he is a 100% idiotic turd with zero redeeming qualities. It makes it a lot harder for me to stomach somehow. Of all the people who can destroy a country....it's this guy!?!? I can't talk politics with many family members because of this total moron? If this were a TV show it would be totally unbelievable. Nobody is that dumb!

Thready bumpy...
From: Reuters Rudy Giuliani...has been subpoenaed by federal prosecutors seeking documents about payments he received from Trump or his presidential campaign... The subpoena, which was issued in November, also asks Giuliani to provide testimony...The nature of the inquiry by the U.S. attorney in Washington D.C....remains largely under wraps. I guess the assumption is that it has something to do with false claims of election fraud. But I'm not sure why payment is relevant (unless they think there was some illegal funding going on). |
