I know most of you won’t spend the 13 minutes required to watch the Trump apologist Laura Ingraham interject her outrage at all things Democrat as Rudy Giuliani lays out why Trump walks on water, but to grasp how he plans to justify all of his and his bosses behavior vis a vie Ukraine you will have to click here.
You may have already seen the news making Rudy meltdown, but as entertaining as it is there’s really no substance in it. This could be known as his “shut up moron” interview:
“Shut up, moron,” Giuliani shouted on “The Ingraham Angle,” directing the command at liberal radio host Christopher Hahn. “Shut up, you don’t know what you’re talking about.”
What his he lays out in the long solo interview with Ingraham isn’t so much as a lawyer’s defense of his client as it is a justification for his criminal client breaking the law.
He says that the State Department tasked him with investigating corruption by Joe Biden’s son because they were justified in not trusting the FBI to do it. This begged the question as to why Bill Barr’s FBI couldn’t handle such an investigation and why the State Department took the extraordinary step of asking the president’s personal lawyer, not even an investigator, to do it.
He goes on to say that what he found was massive corruption by Hunter Biden and he implies that Joe Biden himself was somehow involved in enriching himself as a result.
Giuliani is also trying to implicated others in the Obama administration. This is his tweet from Sept.. 24th:
Democrat party is covering up a pattern of corruption involving high level members of the Obama cabinet. The multi-million and billion dollar pay-for-play is mind boggling. Biden Family sale of office to Ukraine was not the only one or the most egregious. Slimy Joe is not alone.
According to Rudy he has all the proof he needs to make a case against Hunter Biden.
He even said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who went to Ukraine this month, should be impeached instead of Trump for reasons that he never clarified.
He also managed to bring in right-wing bogeyman George Soros and the crooked press corps into his diatribes. He managed to bring in the Clintons as well claiming they corruptly made millions from their positions.
Giuliani said that Democrats and Trump's enemies "have walked into a trap."
Here are a several more quotes from the Ingraham interview:
“I never talked to a Ukrainian official until the State Department called me and asked me to do it and then I reported every conversation back to them. I’m a pretty good lawyer, just a country lawyer, but it’s all here, right here,” he said holding up his cellphone as some kind of proof.
.
“I’m defending him. He’s my client. I don’t know, only Donald Trump is not entitled to a defense in America.”
.
Laura Ingraham asked why [people were out to get him and he answered: "Because I do a pretty good job for [Trump] and they try to destroy everyone everybody around him. But they will not intimidate me. In fact, I'm going to work harder because I don't get intimidated by bullies."
.
Thanks to motor-mouth Giuliani the Democrats now have a good idea of what to expect from Trump as he launches his reaction to impeachment. It will be that the best defense is a (supposedly) good offense.
.
The remaining known unknown is whether or not any of the allegations against Hunter Biden are true. If they are and can be proved it will hurt Joe Biden even if his hands are totally clean. At worst he will drop in the polls and not win the nomination and Trump will have merely succeeded in knocking out one candidate. Trump would bask in his victory and try to paint all Democrats with the broad brush of corruption.
.
This of course will be the ultimate effort of irony coming from the most corrupt president in history.
