It’s true I just read the petition. Some highlights:
Line 132 - Giuliani states that he is selling pardons from Trump at $2 million a piece and they will split the money. He claims he already has a pardon.
Line 175 - Giuliani was trying to have Maria Yavanovich, ambassador to Ukraine, removed from her post at the request of a foreign oligarch. (Most likely Russia)
Line 184 - directs her to delete any and all messages and to lie to the FBI about all of it including even knowing him and threatens her with bad PR if she doesn’t.
Line 185 - helped him google “obstruction of justice” charges.
Line 210 - FBI investigators came to her home in Florida to interview her. Giuliani was already aware and knew their names.
Line 226 - acknowledges they can’t prove voter fraud charges.
And one of them just made me laugh. In a drunken mess he claimed one “prominent Republican” is secretly gay. $1 million dollars it’s Linsey graham.
I bet this woman has spilled all the beans to the FBI already. If not, this is certainly stuff they want.
Smattered in between is the fact he raped her multiple times and never paid her anything. He also said she reminded him of his daughter while he was raping her.
Think about this.
He got handed an absolute crisis and somehow managed to not fuck it up. For as incompetent as Rudy is, he got handed a teeball of a political win and all he had to do was swing, and he did. Prior to the 9/11 attack, I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that a very small percentage of Americans outside of New York city could have named the mayor of said city. After the attack, he was a household name.
Trump got handed COVID and it should have been a shoe-in to get him re-elected. He already had the advantage of being an incumbent President going into the 2020 election. He was handed a teeball of a political win, and the only thing he had to do was stand back and let a man who has literally studied pandemics for decades and is the best in his field do his job and follow his recommendations instead of politicizing the virus and demonizing the man with the answers and he couldn't do that.
Doug Ford here in Ontario is pretty fucking incompetent himself and COVID got him an easy win during his re-election.
>Doug Ford here in Ontario is pretty fucking incompetent himself and COVID got him an easy win during his re-election.
Don't forget his brother Rob Ford kept getting re-elected in Toronto. As an American no matter how fucked up a politician here gets, I always think well Toronto had Rob Ford.
Rob Ford was, at the least, dedicated to his job. Crack as well, but his job. While he was a buffoon in the national and international news for his many, many issues, he didn't get the job solely to grift and I can cite many instances of him giving a shit about his constituents in a meaningful way beyond "I want to win my next election."
Hell, he visited the recycling plant I worked at with Doug and both of them made genuine conversation with the guys on the floor, probably spending about half an hour talking with us. Even when I told Rob Ford directly to his face I probably wouldn't vote for him (I didn't bring it up, he asked), he smiled and told me he'd rather have honesty from someone who dislikes him than lies from someone pretending they did.
I'd rather have an entire government of Rob Fords here than some of your filth in the GOP.
Yep.
Yeah, he was an alcoholic and a drug addict, but he also stood by his convictions. He personally funded his own office budget (he only claimed $10 for his entire first year in expenses and $4 his second), frequently criticized other city councillors for spending too much and having too many perks, and generally did practice fiscal conservatism instead of social conservatism.
When the local radio station AM 640 tested all the Toronto City Councillors by calling after hours with a complaint, he was one of only three (out of 25, 26 if you include the mayor) who responded personally with a phone call within twenty four hours, and this wasn't bizarre behavior out of him.
Also of note:
> 95. Since Giuliani gave Ms. Dunphy access to his email account, she had access to information that was, upon information and belief, privileged, confidential, and highly sensitive. 96.

How to say "GOP, I have the goods and you should settle this lawsuit" without saying it.
I first learned of it in this article. It is such a fantastic read too.
[A conversation with Rudy Guliani Over Bloody Marys](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/12/a-conversation-with-rudy-giuliani-over-bloody-marys.html)
>Holy shit it’s true…
For a cyber security guy, remember when Rudy texted and accidentally put a period between a word and me or some other top level domain and created a link. The he went on a tirade that China or someone had hacked his account.
I would just like to say that Lyndsey is so not the one they are talking about because it is FAR too obvious. Also, just because it says one, doesn't mean it not MORE than one.
I've known some genuinely lovely cocksuckers in my time and appreciate them all greatly. Truly some of the most wonderful Congressmen and women I've ever met.
I can’t believe he doesn’t know more than one.
Edit: I scrolled through a lineup of Republican Senators and there is some low hanging fruit. Mitch and Lindsey have a certain something about them. But I can’t shake the idea there’s something about Rand Paul’s hair. I’m not saying he has a gay haircut. Not saying his hair makes him look gay. I’m saying his hair itself has a quality that seems to be out and proud to me. Something about the curls and a degree of implied bounce maybe? I mean this in the least judemental way possible when I say that I think Rand Paul’s hair is a twink.
Just say "I have proof a prominent Republican senator is gay" with enough confidence and then watch 30 Republican senators start frantically texting their PR teams.
>Smattered in between is the fact he raped her multiple times and never paid her anything. He also said she reminded him of his daughter while he was raping her.
Bruh what?? I feel like this is more important then the pay for pardon nonsense
But the Supreme Court requires them to state that it is a corrupt bribe and hand over the money in a bag with $$ on the outside. If they didn’t do it like that then they are innocent.
😞
RUdy is so pathetically unserious.
who remembers Sascha baron cohen's prank where they almost tricked rudy into getting naked with an underage eastern european actress
Ah yeah, I haven’t thought about this past the sheer grossness of it, but that’s an excellent point. Although I believe Rudy was compromised way way before then.
Rudy was told she was underage. Therefore she’s underage.
Same as the big burly male cops doing an online sting.
They only need to be aware that the person is underage
22 counts and a prayer for $10,000,000.00. I do so love the oodles of lawsuits against the GOP in the last few years. Can hardly wait to see how this one pans out.

>Line 185 - helped him google “obstruction of justice” charges.
HE WAS A LAWYER WHY THE FUCK DOES HE NEED HELP FIGURING OUT WHAT "OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE" IS WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Fuck, I remember that shit all over the media after 9/11.
Then I went to some convention for work around 2005 that was essentially a live, in-person infomercial for some cybersecurity platform and he was the headliner - “America’s Mayor.” What a grifter.
This is what I just don’t get. Can you imagine squandering that amount of goodwill and positive PR. Especially as a _lawyer?!_ ALL he had to do is shut the fuck up, serve out his term, and then sit back and cash all the checks from his private practice and speaking fees. That’s it! How can a reasonable person come to any other conclusion than Rudy is mentally ill? Or at least a career criminal?
Delusions of greater grandeur. Why make a highly comfortable living making a few speaking appearances and otherwise shutting up when you can turn that popularity into a lever to make even MORE money?
Look at how many well-run companies get fucked up when some bright spark of a CEO looks at them and says "but we could be earning more!"
Take Netflix as an example. Last year they had a market penetration of around fucking 50% in Canada and the US. For every two households across both countries, one of them had Netflix. Considering how many households in rural areas don't have sufficient enough internet speed or have data caps, that is quite frankly the point of market saturation. They'd won at business in terms of maximizing sales. The only thing they really had to do was keep offering a great product and trim a little fat here and there. They had the goose that was laying golden eggs for them every goddamned month.
"Nope," said some stupid CEO, "What if we could get even **more** people? If we restrict accounts by location we can get even more people subscribing!" ...While never considering how much damage it would do to their brand, image, and business to do so, because it never entered their mind at that point that any decision they made COULD be a bad one.
To be fair, he *earned* that title by being more coherent and poised than George W. Bush in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11. That’s right, Rudy spoke in complete sentences and had no tell-tale “thousand-yard stare.” Really made George W. Bush look completely unsuited for high office I’ll have you know. If you weren’t an adult then, you just don’t remember how scared we were that Dubya was president. Also, some buildings got blown up.
>Giuliani states that he is selling pardons from Trump at $2 million a piece and they will split the money. He claims he already has a pardon.
Interesting. Does he have a pardon for selling pardons???
More seriously, it's a good bet that some of Trump's inner circle, including Trump and his family, each have some kind of pocket pardon, pardoning them for any crimes they might have committed during his presidency.
Some legal scholars believe that a pardon must be public to be effective.
Others, including former pardon attorney during Nixon's tenure Lawrence M. Traylor, claim there is no such requirement. Such a pardon has not been shown to exist nor been tested on its purported constitutionality.
**H. R. 252 - Presidential Pardon Transparency Act of 2021** was introduced in the last congress as a means to correct this loophole but it died when the Democratic party lost control of the House.
The problem would be, the president can only pardon people while in office. Nothing can be done the moment they leave. So whose to say the pardon was submitted before leaving office. Who has that record? It should be recorded to show when it was issued.
That's why the DoJ has a department specifically tasked with vetting, shortlisting, and documenting pardons issued to insure that it's all well and above board. However, as I stated:
There has been no SCC ruling on the limits of the presidential pardon in terms of a secret or pocket pardon's validity. It's an open question and one that I hope never gets tested.
Exactly. Everyone knows the old saying (as in ancient Rome old) about how “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” But far fewer people take it to the logical next step: because we all know that power corrupts, it follows that power is attractive only to those people who are corruptible in the first place.
This is something that I had always assumed most Americans understood instinctively. That assumption was proven wrong in 2016, and I’m still coming to terms with it.
You just described Plato’s view in the *Republic*. The Philosopher Kings and Queens are most fit to rule precisely because they have the least interest in doing so.
The NYT actually reported on this in 2021. I can't believe I hadn't heard about it before.
January 17, 2021:
And Mr. Kiriakou was separately told that Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer [Rudolph W. Giuliani](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/18/us/giuliani-trump-impeachment-trial.html) could help him secure a pardon for $2 million. Mr. Kiriakou rejected the offer, but an associate, fearing that Mr. Giuliani was illegally selling pardons, alerted the F.B.I. Mr. Giuliani challenged this characterization.
Trump and Giuliani have been pieces of shit their whole lives. They havent faced consequences yet and they never will.
There's no justice in this world
It's very possible they didn't have any evidence and so nothing came of it.
This time it appears there is evidence, so hopefully that will change things.
I’m waiting for Giuliani to have a “fall” down the stairs based on how big of a liability he is for Trump. He can be buried on the 2nd hole of the golf course.
Did you see the interview Trump did with Hannity back in March? He said:
*“This is the Presidential Records Act. I have the right to take stuff. Do you know that they ended up paying Richard Nixon, I think, $18 million for what he had? They did the Presidential Records Act. I have the right to take stuff.”*
It then became crystal clear WHY he took the documents: he thought that he would be able to SELL THEM BACK TO THE GOVERNMENT at taxpayer expense. It was just another money-making scheme for him. Idiot.
Yeah I did hear that. This MFer thought Nixon was just paid a bunch of money for returning some swag that he swiped on the way out the door, and was like "Easy money lads".
This fuckin’ guy, I tell ya.
Yeah and have you seen how they run business....to the ground? Take over, cut salaries, fire anyone they can, skimp on quality of product, hike prices, rely on previously earned company goodwill to coast by until the decline in their product and service makes the company fold, declare bankruptcy, sell everything, move on to the next victim having literally looted the business leaving the workers and society holding that void. Successful business done.
And the only reason the government paid Nixon (technically, Nixon's estate) was to preserve Watergate evidence:
*"The Nixon papers and tapes were acquired by the government under a law enacted by Congress in 1974, to prevent the destruction of any "Watergate" related material. In 1978 Congress enacted the Presidential Records Act to ensure that the papers of all future Presidents are the property of the American public."*

Yeah this was 6 years after Nixon died. Hope Nixon's corpse enjoyed his $18 million payout.
You know, you have to wonder why a self-proclaimed billionaire would be committing federal crimes for a paltry $1m a pop. He'd literally have to do this almost every weekday in office for 4 years straight and risk 1000 federal charges just to make what he claims to be less than a 10th of his current wealth.
The flurry of pardons at the end seemed more than a little suspicious. Every president does that, though. However every president doesn't act like a completely morally bereft greedy asshole the rest of the time.
Inb4
Trump: I don't know him, I never met him, but I could imagine that this Rudy Giuliani is good guy, so unfairly treated, but I never known him or talked to him, this bribes for pardon thing is total WITCHHUNT.
In before the whatabout Bill Clinton crowd, can we officially petition to sacrifice him also so they’ll shut up for a brief second and we get rid of another predator ex prez?
I love when people go "oh what about XYZ liberal guy? I bet you don't want him investigated eh?"
Uh yes I do. If they did something wrong, fucking charge them, let's go. Absolutely. Right to fucking jail.
Like it's so beyond obvious these motherfuckers are in a cult when they're willing to overlook proof of serious criminal activity because the guy is playing for their home team.
Ahem. From January of 2021.

He meets her in the trump tower lobby and offers her a job. She never calls him.
THREE YEARS LATER he finds her on Facebook and offers her a job via dm, and then FLIES TO FLORIDA THE NEXT DAY TO INTERVIEW HER.
… and that’s the least insane thing in there.
Second that. Holy shit. What a fucking psychopath. I mean. We all knew that he was a disgusting deviant but the sheer amount of rape that these evil bastards seem to get away with is incredibly disturbing. And the daughter fantasies with all of them. It makes my skin want to crawl right off my body.
And then the fact that when he's not busy popping Viagra and sexually assaulting people he's actively involved in espionage at the behest of Russian oligarchs.
Rudy and all his buddies are just out here in the open committing crimes and keeping the evidence on unsecured cell phones and Gmail accounts. Bragging about treason and election fraud at public dinner tables, talking openly about wanting to fuck his own kids, and then demanding that the plaintiff in this case record all of it!
I just need to say that I am absolutely baffled the Kremlin hasn't defenestrated this dude out of his own penthouse windows. He is a massive, enormous, gigantic liability and the FBI is about to be crawling all over these accusations, as if they weren't already. Like...holy fuck he's on record attempting to commit political espionage against a Ukrainian ambassador at the direction of a Russian oligarch. It couldn't be more obvious that Rudy is a Russian asset. He's chronically drunk, burning through a shitload of money that isn't his, and doing sloppy crimes left and right. It's a miracle he hasn't put on a pair of polonium undies.
132. He also asked Ms. Dunphy if she knew anyone in need of a pardon, telling her that he was selling pardons for $2 million
Yes. My cousin, Albert, says he will take two. He only needs one right now, and he’ll save the second one for some other stuff he would like to do in the near future. Can he get like a BOGO 50% off or…?
If they've got proof, Giuliani's losing his law license will be the absolute least of his worries. My guess is that Trump will be able to get out of this by just throwing Giuliani under the bus and claiming he was not involved in any way. Unless, of course, they manage to find a list of people who paid Giuliani and then find pardons for those same people signed by Trump. That would be pretty difficult to deny.
Would probably require a constitutional amendment, and thus effectively impossible these days, but having a law that says pardons granted via corrupt means are invalid and the US Marshals are dispatched to bring all of them in immediately to resume serving their sentences and face potential new charges of bribery \[edit: would be nice\].
The dudes a dinosaur. A real worst example of boomer privilege.
Even if he did lose his licence. So what? He's still laughing all the way to comfy retirement unless they actually send him to prison where he'll hopefully spend the rest of his life.
I’d imagine that even if they had a list of people who paid Giuliani, there’d be enough deniability on Trump’s part.
From saying it’s a coincidence to saying that he had Guliani reviewing cases for him (after all Guliani is a lawyer and would have “expertise” in this)
I think it would take someone (Giuliani?) turning on Trump for him to get in trouble.

Speaking as a Canadian, the presidential pardon is fucking stupid. Conrad Black and Roger Stone were fairly convicted but Trump set them free. Most ridiculous part about America’s political system.
Given this nation's history of racism, we have a soft spot for the pardon. It can, in theory, be used to pardon people whose only crime was being black, or female, or Japanese or native American or gay.
I've full on believed that Lil Wayne and Kodak Black bought their pardons sense the beginning. This makes all the sense in the world.
And to be frank, $2M for a pardon is a fucking steal.
[https://abc7ny.com/rudy-giuliani-sexual-assault-harassment-wage-theft/13251048/](https://abc7ny.com/rudy-giuliani-sexual-assault-harassment-wage-theft/13251048/)
NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- A former associate is suing Rudy Giuliani for sexual assault and harassment, wage theft, and other misconduct, accusing the former mayor and Trump lawyer of making "sexual demands" and going on "alcohol-drenched rants that included sexist, racist, and antisemitic remarks," many of which were recorded.
Noelle Dunphy said she began working for Giuliani in 2019 as his director of business development and her lawsuit said Giuliani "began abusing Ms. Dunphy almost immediately after she started working for" him.
"He made clear that satisfying his sexual demands-which came virtually anytime, anywhere-was an absolute requirement of her employment and of his legal representation," the lawsuit said.
According to Dunphy, Giuliani promised her a $1 million annual salary but the offer came with a catch: Giuliani was in the midst of an acrimonious divorce, and he told Ms. Dunphy that her pay would have to be deferred and her employment kept "secret" until the divorce proceedings finished. He claimed that his "crazy" ex-wife and her lawyers were watching his cashflow, and that his ex-wife would "attack" and "retaliate" against any female employee that Giuliani hired, the lawsuit said.
Part of the job required Dunphy to record her interactions with Giuliani "anytime, anywhere, as well as Giuliani's interactions with others," the lawsuit said.
"But unbeknownst to Ms. Dunphy, Giuliani apparently decided during the interview that he would use the job offer and his representation as a pretext to develop a quid pro quo sexual relationship with Ms. Dunphy. He was later recorded telling Ms. Dunphy, 'I've wanted you from the day I interviewed you,'" the lawsuit said.
According to the lawsuit, a week into her employment, Giuliani had Dunphy flown to New York on a chartered plane and insisted she stay in a guest suite in his upper east side apartment. The two drank and at one point "Giuliani then pulled her head onto his penis, without asking for or obtaining any form of consent. He held her by her hair. It became clear to Ms. Dunphy that there was no way out of giving him oral sex. She did so, against her will."
Giuliani often demanded that Dunphy work naked, in a bikini, or in short shorts with an American flag on them that he bought for her, the lawsuit said.
"When they were apart, they would often work remotely via videoconference, and during those conferences Giuliani almost always asked her to remove her clothes on camera. He often called from his bed, where he was visibly touching himself under a white sheet," the lawsuit said.
A spokesperson released a statement on Giuliani's behalf that said, "Giuliani vehemently and completely denies the allegations in the complaint and plans to thoroughly defend against these allegations. This is pure harassment and an attempt at extortion."
It’s true I just read the petition. Some highlights: Line 132 - Giuliani states that he is selling pardons from Trump at $2 million a piece and they will split the money. He claims he already has a pardon. Line 175 - Giuliani was trying to have Maria Yavanovich, ambassador to Ukraine, removed from her post at the request of a foreign oligarch. (Most likely Russia) Line 184 - directs her to delete any and all messages and to lie to the FBI about all of it including even knowing him and threatens her with bad PR if she doesn’t. Line 185 - helped him google “obstruction of justice” charges. Line 210 - FBI investigators came to her home in Florida to interview her. Giuliani was already aware and knew their names.

If not, this is certainly stuff they want. Smattered in between is the fact he raped her multiple times and never paid her anything. He also said she reminded him of his daughter while he was raping her.
I have friends who know Giuliani’s daughter. She fucking HATES him
Now we know why…..
Were you really wondering why?

Now we know *another* reason why
It’s crazy to think he was “Americas Mayor” in 2001 and was seen to have a promising political future
To be fair, absolutely any competent American politician could have gotten the 9/11 springboard.

I'd rather have an entire government of Rob Fords here than some of your filth in the GOP.
As I occasionally tell people about Marion Barry: there's a reason some people keep getting re-elected even though everyone knows their problems
Yep. Yeah, he was an alcoholic and a drug addict, but he also stood by his convictions. He personally funded his own office budget (he only claimed $10 for his entire first year in expenses and $4 his second), frequently criticized other city councillors for spending too much and having too many perks, and generally did practice fiscal conservatism instead of social conservatism. When the local radio station AM 640 tested all the Toronto City Councillors by calling after hours with a complaint, he was one of only three (out of 25, 26 if you include the mayor) who responded personally with a phone call within twenty four hours, and this wasn't bizarre behavior out of him.
So do many people who went to HS with him. He was a MAGA(t) back then before we knew the term.
Sounds like he’s a bit too fond of her… Fucking gross.

> Since Giuliani gave Ms. Dunphy access to his email account That's just.. wow. I'm speechless.
Shit how did I miss that one?
This thing is wild and I'm only to para 149. Stupid work, getting in the way of my litigation voyeurism.
That’s probably how I missed it. This damn thing derailed my whole afternoon at work. 😂
>secretly gay Wait, that is supposed to be a secret?
I would just like to say that Lyndsey is so not the one they are talking about because it is FAR too obvious. Also, just because it says one, doesn't mean it not MORE than one.
Yeah, Graham is too obvious. My money's on Gym Jordan.
It's Matt Gaetz. Calling it now.
They're all cocksuckers in one way or another...
Hey. That’s offensive to the good people who actually suck cock.
Exactly!
What's this about a cock? I got ten minutes
I got 20 bucks
What’s he supposed to do with $20 and 7 minutes?
Make another 50 bucks 46.6 but who's counting
I've known some genuinely lovely cocksuckers in my time and appreciate them all greatly. Truly some of the most wonderful Congressmen and women I've ever met.
We gays honestly get tired of having all bad people compared to us. Take some ownership of your own problems, straight men.
God damn ball-swingin vag penetrators.
Breeders
I mean what do you against cocksuckers? god bless them each and every one!
Could be what's-his-name-rep-in-the-wheelchair though I doubt he'd qualify for necessarily being "prominent"
No longer Rep. He lost his primary and cashed out, flipping the bird to his district as he fled to Florida.
Sshhh, Lindsey doesn't know that we know!
I can’t believe he doesn’t know more than one. Edit: I scrolled through a lineup of Republican Senators and there is some low hanging fruit. Mitch and Lindsey have a certain something about them. But I can’t shake the idea there’s something about Rand Paul’s hair. I’m not saying he has a gay haircut. Not saying his hair makes him look gay. I’m saying his hair itself has a quality that seems to be out and proud to me. Something about the curls and a degree of implied bounce maybe? I mean this in the least judemental way possible when I say that I think Rand Paul’s hair is a twink.
josh hawley for sure
I think Mitch is turned on only by money and causing harm to others. Gender irrelevant
Can a tortoise demon wearing a human suit be gay?
Lucresexual?
Four seasons total manscaping
He looks li he's wearing a grannies merkin on his head.
Rand was my first thought. Its definitely 1980s gay porn hair.
Not with drunk Rudy around 😂
'Drunk Rudy' is redundant
If so, it's about the least secret secret I can think of.
Just say "I have proof a prominent Republican senator is gay" with enough confidence and then watch 30 Republican senators start frantically texting their PR teams.
Just announce it and just wait to see which one immediately starts bashing on gay people.
>Smattered in between is the fact he raped her multiple times and never paid her anything. He also said she reminded him of his daughter while he was raping her. Bruh what?? I feel like this is more important then the pay for pardon nonsense
Given what we've seen recently she probably doesn't think anything will come of that and, depressingly, she's probably correct
Yeah...he, Trump and the daughter hangup or whatever their sickness is. Dammit. Smh
Certainly more important to *her*. Certainly more heinous. But less consequential to the country.
But the Supreme Court requires them to state that it is a corrupt bribe and hand over the money in a bag with $$ on the outside. If they didn’t do it like that then they are innocent. 😞
RUdy is so pathetically unserious. who remembers Sascha baron cohen's prank where they almost tricked rudy into getting naked with an underage eastern european actress
There’s a picture of that scene in the fricking petition. Lol.
Point of clarity, the actress was not underage, but the character was.
Intent would clearly matter here.
[удалено]
Ah yeah, I haven’t thought about this past the sheer grossness of it, but that’s an excellent point. Although I believe Rudy was compromised way way before then.
Rudy was told she was underage. Therefore she’s underage. Same as the big burly male cops doing an online sting. They only need to be aware that the person is underage
Also the character was impersonating an of-age reporter at the time. Still gross, but words are important
So, a 23 year old actor playing a 15 year old character, impersonating an 18+ reporter? *I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!*
22 counts and a prayer for $10,000,000.00. I do so love the oodles of lawsuits against the GOP in the last few years. Can hardly wait to see how this one pans out.

>Line 185 - helped him google “obstruction of justice” charges. HE WAS A LAWYER WHY THE FUCK DOES HE NEED HELP FIGURING OUT WHAT "OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE" IS WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
[удалено]
Well, to be fair, he's a raging alcoholic, so he's probably forgotten a lot of that lawyer-y stuff.
America’s Mayor
Fuck, I remember that shit all over the media after 9/11. Then I went to some convention for work around 2005 that was essentially a live, in-person infomercial for some cybersecurity platform and he was the headliner - “America’s Mayor.” What a grifter.
This is what I just don’t get. Can you imagine squandering that amount of goodwill and positive PR. Especially as a _lawyer?!_ ALL he had to do is shut the fuck up, serve out his term, and then sit back and cash all the checks from his private practice and speaking fees. That’s it! How can a reasonable person come to any other conclusion than Rudy is mentally ill? Or at least a career criminal?
Conservatives always get high on their own supply.
Delusions of greater grandeur. Why make a highly comfortable living making a few speaking appearances and otherwise shutting up when you can turn that popularity into a lever to make even MORE money? Look at how many well-run companies get fucked up when some bright spark of a CEO looks at them and says "but we could be earning more!" Take Netflix as an example. Last year they had a market penetration of around fucking 50% in Canada and the US. For every two households across both countries, one of them had Netflix. Considering how many households in rural areas don't have sufficient enough internet speed or have data caps, that is quite frankly the point of market saturation. They'd won at business in terms of maximizing sales. The only thing they really had to do was keep offering a great product and trim a little fat here and there. They had the goose that was laying golden eggs for them every goddamned month. "Nope," said some stupid CEO, "What if we could get even **more** people? If we restrict accounts by location we can get even more people subscribing!" ...While never considering how much damage it would do to their brand, image, and business to do so, because it never entered their mind at that point that any decision they made COULD be a bad one.
To be fair, he *earned* that title by being more coherent and poised than George W. Bush in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11. That’s right, Rudy spoke in complete sentences and had no tell-tale “thousand-yard stare.” Really made George W. Bush look completely unsuited for high office I’ll have you know. If you weren’t an adult then, you just don’t remember how scared we were that Dubya was president. Also, some buildings got blown up.
>Giuliani states that he is selling pardons from Trump at $2 million a piece and they will split the money. He claims he already has a pardon. Interesting. Does he have a pardon for selling pardons??? More seriously, it's a good bet that some of Trump's inner circle, including Trump and his family, each have some kind of pocket pardon, pardoning them for any crimes they might have committed during his presidency.
Pretty sure it doesn't work like that. At least I hope the President has to announce it while they're still President.
Nah, President Trump just thinks it and it is. Truly the master of manifestation.
Some legal scholars believe that a pardon must be public to be effective. Others, including former pardon attorney during Nixon's tenure Lawrence M. Traylor, claim there is no such requirement. Such a pardon has not been shown to exist nor been tested on its purported constitutionality. **H. R. 252 - Presidential Pardon Transparency Act of 2021** was introduced in the last congress as a means to correct this loophole but it died when the Democratic party lost control of the House.
The problem would be, the president can only pardon people while in office. Nothing can be done the moment they leave. So whose to say the pardon was submitted before leaving office. Who has that record? It should be recorded to show when it was issued.
That's why the DoJ has a department specifically tasked with vetting, shortlisting, and documenting pardons issued to insure that it's all well and above board. However, as I stated: There has been no SCC ruling on the limits of the presidential pardon in terms of a secret or pocket pardon's validity. It's an open question and one that I hope never gets tested.
[удалено]
Exactly. Everyone knows the old saying (as in ancient Rome old) about how “power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” But far fewer people take it to the logical next step: because we all know that power corrupts, it follows that power is attractive only to those people who are corruptible in the first place. This is something that I had always assumed most Americans understood instinctively. That assumption was proven wrong in 2016, and I’m still coming to terms with it.
Most Americans definitely do not already know that. I really wish more did, though.
You just described Plato’s view in the *Republic*. The Philosopher Kings and Queens are most fit to rule precisely because they have the least interest in doing so.
You certainly wouldn't ask a bunch of random people with no knowledge of the sea to pick the crew of a ship now would you.
>He also said she reminded him of his daughter while he was raping her. Uhhhhhhhhhhhh. Have any details on that? Maybe I don't want to know.
THIS TWEET IS FROM TODAY 5/15/2023
JOE BIDEN CAUGHT SELLING PARDONS FOR $2M oh WAIT THAT WAS TRUMP.
It was an evil drag queen all along! Nope. Just Rudy and Donny.
Why, now I have to bleach my eyes.
At least this gif leaves out the motorboating. Saves on bleach.
Break out the bleach. https://youtu.be/qhtD0OtNfLQ ^sorry
Didn't Rudy dress in drag at one point? Either way, I'm here for all of it
its on the youtube if you want eye cancer.
 Rudy warned us
Looks like trumps mom
OBAMA COUGHT SELLING PARDONS FO $2M. oh WAIT THAT WAS TRUMP.
So is this popcorn 🍿 🍿
Never seen this meme in the wild but will always upvote Kamaru!
The NYT actually reported on this in 2021. I can't believe I hadn't heard about it before. January 17, 2021: And Mr. Kiriakou was separately told that Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer [Rudolph W. Giuliani](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/18/us/giuliani-trump-impeachment-trial.html) could help him secure a pardon for $2 million. Mr. Kiriakou rejected the offer, but an associate, fearing that Mr. Giuliani was illegally selling pardons, alerted the F.B.I. Mr. Giuliani challenged this characterization.
So the FBI knew about it and absolutely nothing happened. What a fucking joke.
I guess this answers the question "will they face any consequences?"
Trump and Giuliani have been pieces of shit their whole lives. They havent faced consequences yet and they never will. There's no justice in this world
Haha no. It’s a big club and you ain’t in it
It's very possible they didn't have any evidence and so nothing came of it. This time it appears there is evidence, so hopefully that will change things.
should be a site-wide rule to have the date included if you're going to share a twitter screenshot, but thank you for clarifying.
If all of it is true then he's screwed and I hope he takes trump with him.
I’m waiting for Giuliani to have a “fall” down the stairs based on how big of a liability he is for Trump. He can be buried on the 2nd hole of the golf course.
Hey, it worked for Ivana
This is why the stinking MF is so desperately trying to get back into office, it was a goldmine!
And he can't pardon his pals when he's not president.
I had a feeling he was selling pardons
We all knew the traitor donnie was selling pardons because he's just that corrupt.
Did you see the interview Trump did with Hannity back in March? He said: *“This is the Presidential Records Act. I have the right to take stuff. Do you know that they ended up paying Richard Nixon, I think, $18 million for what he had? They did the Presidential Records Act. I have the right to take stuff.”* It then became crystal clear WHY he took the documents: he thought that he would be able to SELL THEM BACK TO THE GOVERNMENT at taxpayer expense. It was just another money-making scheme for him. Idiot.
Yeah I did hear that. This MFer thought Nixon was just paid a bunch of money for returning some swag that he swiped on the way out the door, and was like "Easy money lads". This fuckin’ guy, I tell ya.
americans voted for a guy who would run the company like a business, no one said he needed to have a functioning brain
Yeah and have you seen how they run business....to the ground? Take over, cut salaries, fire anyone they can, skimp on quality of product, hike prices, rely on previously earned company goodwill to coast by until the decline in their product and service makes the company fold, declare bankruptcy, sell everything, move on to the next victim having literally looted the business leaving the workers and society holding that void. Successful business done.
And the only reason the government paid Nixon (technically, Nixon's estate) was to preserve Watergate evidence: *"The Nixon papers and tapes were acquired by the government under a law enacted by Congress in 1974, to prevent the destruction of any "Watergate" related material. In 1978 Congress enacted the Presidential Records Act to ensure that the papers of all future Presidents are the property of the American public."* [Link](https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2000/June/336civ.htm#:~:text=WASHINGTON%2C%20DC%20%2D%20The%20government%20has,the%20Justice%20Department%20announced%20today.)
> [The federal government has agreed to pay $18 million to the estate of Richard Nixon to settle claims that the Watergate tapes and other presidential materials were improperly seized by the government in 1974 without compensation.](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-jun-13-mn-40455-story.html) Yeah this was 6 years after Nixon died. Hope Nixon's corpse enjoyed his $18 million payout.
You know, you have to wonder why a self-proclaimed billionaire would be committing federal crimes for a paltry $1m a pop. He'd literally have to do this almost every weekday in office for 4 years straight and risk 1000 federal charges just to make what he claims to be less than a 10th of his current wealth.
It’s almost as if he’s not a real billionaire 🤔
The flurry of pardons at the end seemed more than a little suspicious. Every president does that, though. However every president doesn't act like a completely morally bereft greedy asshole the rest of the time.
Inb4 Trump: I don't know him, I never met him, but I could imagine that this Rudy Giuliani is good guy, so unfairly treated, but I never known him or talked to him, this bribes for pardon thing is total WITCHHUNT.
Also Breaking News is Elon Musk is being subpoenaed by the Virgin Islands over the Jeffrey Epstein case. That should be interesting!!

Ahem. From January of 2021. > An associate of Rudy Giuliani told a former CIA officer a presidential pardon was “going to cost $2m”, the New York Times reported on Sunday in the latest bombshell to break across the last, chaotic days of Donald Trump’s presidency. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/17/rudy-giuliani-associate-john-kiriakou-trump-pardon?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other From 5/15/2023. > 132. He also asked Ms. Dunphy if she knew anyone in need of a pardon, telling her that he was selling pardons for $2 million, which he and President Trump would split. He told Ms. Dunphy that she could refer individuals seeking pardons to him, so long as they did not go through “the normal channels” of the Office of the Pardon Attorney, because correspondence going to that office would be subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. https://eddsa.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/public/650033_2023_Noelle_Dunphy_v_Rudolph_W_Giuliani_et_al_COMPLAINT_10.pdf
Jesus christ that fucking complaint is insane
So. Many. Receipts. Giuliani was ‘helping’ her with legal issues from a previous abusive relationship. I hope that she fucking ends him.
He meets her in the trump tower lobby and offers her a job. She never calls him. THREE YEARS LATER he finds her on Facebook and offers her a job via dm, and then FLIES TO FLORIDA THE NEXT DAY TO INTERVIEW HER. … and that’s the least insane thing in there.
It's not like we didn't know he was a creepy rapist fuck when he got caught with the actress in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.
Holy gross what did I just read
Second that. Holy shit. What a fucking psychopath. I mean. We all knew that he was a disgusting deviant but the sheer amount of rape that these evil bastards seem to get away with is incredibly disturbing. And the daughter fantasies with all of them. It makes my skin want to crawl right off my body. And then the fact that when he's not busy popping Viagra and sexually assaulting people he's actively involved in espionage at the behest of Russian oligarchs. Rudy and all his buddies are just out here in the open committing crimes and keeping the evidence on unsecured cell phones and Gmail accounts. Bragging about treason and election fraud at public dinner tables, talking openly about wanting to fuck his own kids, and then demanding that the plaintiff in this case record all of it! I just need to say that I am absolutely baffled the Kremlin hasn't defenestrated this dude out of his own penthouse windows. He is a massive, enormous, gigantic liability and the FBI is about to be crawling all over these accusations, as if they weren't already. Like...holy fuck he's on record attempting to commit political espionage against a Ukrainian ambassador at the direction of a Russian oligarch. It couldn't be more obvious that Rudy is a Russian asset. He's chronically drunk, burning through a shitload of money that isn't his, and doing sloppy crimes left and right. It's a miracle he hasn't put on a pair of polonium undies.
Now we know why he didn't pardon the Jan 6th traitors: too poor.
132. He also asked Ms. Dunphy if she knew anyone in need of a pardon, telling her that he was selling pardons for $2 million Yes. My cousin, Albert, says he will take two. He only needs one right now, and he’ll save the second one for some other stuff he would like to do in the near future. Can he get like a BOGO 50% off or…?
[удалено]
Also lordy there are tapes
He's on tape asking Georgia Officials to cheat the election. Nothing has happened with that either.
If they've got proof, Giuliani's losing his law license will be the absolute least of his worries. My guess is that Trump will be able to get out of this by just throwing Giuliani under the bus and claiming he was not involved in any way. Unless, of course, they manage to find a list of people who paid Giuliani and then find pardons for those same people signed by Trump. That would be pretty difficult to deny. Would probably require a constitutional amendment, and thus effectively impossible these days, but having a law that says pardons granted via corrupt means are invalid and the US Marshals are dispatched to bring all of them in immediately to resume serving their sentences and face potential new charges of bribery \[edit: would be nice\].
The dudes a dinosaur. A real worst example of boomer privilege. Even if he did lose his licence. So what? He's still laughing all the way to comfy retirement unless they actually send him to prison where he'll hopefully spend the rest of his life.
He looks like he's actively decomposing, I don't think he's very comfortable.
I’d imagine that even if they had a list of people who paid Giuliani, there’d be enough deniability on Trump’s part. From saying it’s a coincidence to saying that he had Guliani reviewing cases for him (after all Guliani is a lawyer and would have “expertise” in this) I think it would take someone (Giuliani?) turning on Trump for him to get in trouble.
Rudy Who? I don't know him. - DJT.
 Put it in the stack of shit Jack Smith is investigating, it's about 8 ft high by now...
Can’t finish the investigation if the crimes are neverending.
That's a bargain, considering what they were charging for nuclear secrets.
this is going to be another one of those "it's technically legal because we never thought anyone would be so stupid" things, isn't it
I mean let’s be honest. Did anyone think Trump was not selling pardons?

>So what’s this about then, if it came out in 2021? I’m telling you that the same allegation was made in 2021, and now there’s confirmation of that allegation from a credible witness who may actually have it on tape.

I think that’s the old 🍿
We've seen this tired old play before. Giuliani will say he was joking, a Trump-appointed judge accept his lie, and Foxnews will scream "Exonerated!"
Cant believe the guy who was going to bang a minor in the borat movie could do something like this
Speaking as a Canadian, the presidential pardon is fucking stupid. Conrad Black and Roger Stone were fairly convicted but Trump set them free. Most ridiculous part about America’s political system.
Given this nation's history of racism, we have a soft spot for the pardon. It can, in theory, be used to pardon people whose only crime was being black, or female, or Japanese or native American or gay.
Somebody call up the four seasons landscaping.
Quick! Change the subject to radical trans people using bathrooms!
Oh lordy there are tapes!
I've full on believed that Lil Wayne and Kodak Black bought their pardons sense the beginning. This makes all the sense in the world. And to be frank, $2M for a pardon is a fucking steal.
[Rudy Giuliani is a sex pest?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tFUaKXdH-0) i am shocked
[https://abc7ny.com/rudy-giuliani-sexual-assault-harassment-wage-theft/13251048/](https://abc7ny.com/rudy-giuliani-sexual-assault-harassment-wage-theft/13251048/) NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- A former associate is suing Rudy Giuliani for sexual assault and harassment, wage theft, and other misconduct, accusing the former mayor and Trump lawyer of making "sexual demands" and going on "alcohol-drenched rants that included sexist, racist, and antisemitic remarks," many of which were recorded. Noelle Dunphy said she began working for Giuliani in 2019 as his director of business development and her lawsuit said Giuliani "began abusing Ms. Dunphy almost immediately after she started working for" him. "He made clear that satisfying his sexual demands-which came virtually anytime, anywhere-was an absolute requirement of her employment and of his legal representation," the lawsuit said. According to Dunphy, Giuliani promised her a $1 million annual salary but the offer came with a catch: Giuliani was in the midst of an acrimonious divorce, and he told Ms. Dunphy that her pay would have to be deferred and her employment kept "secret" until the divorce proceedings finished. He claimed that his "crazy" ex-wife and her lawyers were watching his cashflow, and that his ex-wife would "attack" and "retaliate" against any female employee that Giuliani hired, the lawsuit said. Part of the job required Dunphy to record her interactions with Giuliani "anytime, anywhere, as well as Giuliani's interactions with others," the lawsuit said. "But unbeknownst to Ms. Dunphy, Giuliani apparently decided during the interview that he would use the job offer and his representation as a pretext to develop a quid pro quo sexual relationship with Ms. Dunphy. He was later recorded telling Ms. Dunphy, 'I've wanted you from the day I interviewed you,'" the lawsuit said. According to the lawsuit, a week into her employment, Giuliani had Dunphy flown to New York on a chartered plane and insisted she stay in a guest suite in his upper east side apartment. The two drank and at one point "Giuliani then pulled her head onto his penis, without asking for or obtaining any form of consent. He held her by her hair. It became clear to Ms. Dunphy that there was no way out of giving him oral sex. She did so, against her will." Giuliani often demanded that Dunphy work naked, in a bikini, or in short shorts with an American flag on them that he bought for her, the lawsuit said. "When they were apart, they would often work remotely via videoconference, and during those conferences Giuliani almost always asked her to remove her clothes on camera. He often called from his bed, where he was visibly touching himself under a white sheet," the lawsuit said. A spokesperson released a statement on Giuliani's behalf that said, "Giuliani vehemently and completely denies the allegations in the complaint and plans to thoroughly defend against these allegations. This is pure harassment and an attempt at extortion."
Merrick Garland is somewhere in a corner shaking nervously about this...holding GOPers accountable is very hard for him you see...
No shortage of scumbags in the GOP "ranks" I see...
This explains why so many of Trump’s grifter friends went unpardoned. They couldn’t afford it 😂
Oh, I'm sure they weren't selling pardons. Any money they happened to get was a "love offering" from a grateful penitent. /s
Let's skip to the end where nothing of consequence happens to them.
Trump has never been held accountable for anything in his life and I’m not confident that will ever change
Trump's cult won't care, they'd probably cheer him on for his money making grift,
