Giuliani Blasts GOP Counsel: 'I Would Appreciate His Apology'

Source: dailybeast




Updated Nov. 20, 2019 2:49PM ET /


Rudy Giuliani publicly shamed GOP counsel Steve Castor on Twitter in response to a question he asked U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland during Wednesday’s House impeachment hearing. “Republican lawyer doesn’t do his own research and preparation, and is instead picking up Democrat lies, shame,” Giuliani tweeted. His Twitter attack came in response to an earlier question asked by Castor. “Did you know that Rudy Giuliani has private business interests in Ukraine?” the GOP counsel asked Sondland, who answered that he was not aware. In his tweet, Giuliani went on to insist that he has no financial interests in Ukraine and would “appreciate his apology.”

In Sondland’s opening statement, he put President Trump’s personal lawyer at the center of the pressure campaign on Ukraine’s president to carry out Trump’s political agenda. “We did not want to work with Giuliani,” Sondland testified. He emphasized that he only collaborated with Giuliani at Trump’s orders.

But he is still in denial.
All of Trump's people are expendable in Trump's eyes.
Rudy is looking more and more like the fall guy every day.
Pretty soon Trump will say he hardly knew him...that he was a minor player on his legal team.
That he was a loose cannon; that he had gone rogue; that it was all his doing.
Trump will say he didn't realize what Rudy was up to.
He will say/do anything to push the blame onto someone else.

“I'd be glad to have the person who started it all come in and testify,” he said.

“President Trump is welcome to take a seat right there.”

I'm quite sure that invitation goes out to Rudy as well...

Step Up or STFU!!

He has a map of where the bodies lie. He won't go down without giving as good as he gets. This should be fun.

But I bet his "insurance" implicates Pompeo (State Dept), Mulvaney, etc. and MANY other players, BUT not Trump. And Trump will throw them all under the bus together. He may think together they can stand up to Trump to save themselves, but they won't. They'll eat each other alive.
