When Trump defends you, just wait. The bus will arrive before you can say "Don's your uncle". Bye Rudi!

I would imagine the amount of dirt Rudy has on Trump and his family would fill the Grand Canyon, meaning that while he'd probably love to dump the crazy, traitorous, bloviating buffoon, the simple truth is that Giuliani is just a mirror image of the ugly old man he serves, and more dangerous to said ugly old man than anyone else in the world.

Ah, the ties that bind!

I’m sure Rudy has even more dirt on the House Democrats not including Hillary that that would cover the entire Sahara.

Ok, alarm is ringing now. Lol

Rudy knows how dangerous and diabolical these Democrats are and good on him for not sitting back and taking it, keep fighting my friend, never allow these haters to get or trap you.

Bring it on, then. Trump and his minions are in panic-mode. Basically, half of America is stupid and gullible.

Oh, and Eric, remember what happened to the last person who was shouting Lock him/her up?

Same old predictable and boring Soviet-style "what about...?" stuff.

Rudy knows how dangerous and diabolical these Democrats are and good on him for not sitting back and taking it, keep fighting my friend, never allow these haters to get or trap you.

Then why is he under federal investigation - you know, by Barr's own Justice Dept?

Federal prosecutors in New York City are investigating whether President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani broke lobbying laws in his dealings in Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the inquiry.

Trump today: "So now they are after the legendary 'crime buster' and greatest Mayor in the history of NYC, Rudy Giuliani," Trump said in a statement on Twitter. "He may seem a little rough around the edges sometimes, but he is also a great guy and wonderful lawyer. 

Trump tomorrow: "He's a disgusting cretin and a fraud. A legendary loon - Cohen was twice the lawyer he is. And he's a serial philanderer who has been married three times and cheated on each previous wife with the new one.....uh...errrr....you can delete that last one...

With a guy like Trump starting all the BS I gotta say; pot-kettle-black.

The republicans are just as "dangerous" and "diabolical" as the Dem's.

Neither give a shite about anything other than their own delusions of power!

Donald Trump praised Rudy Giuliani a day after he said he didn’t know if the former New York mayor was still his personal attorney.

Before, CIA had the role of playing dirty games undertaking the intentions of the president and the government. Now, the president is directly playing the games by himself.  This may be as a result he lost friends in CIA. Trump takes part in everything too much.

When are they going to punish Schiff for lying to Congress as a sitting congressman?

-11 ( +1 / -12 )

First Trump says "I don't know" when asked if Rudy was his lawyer. Think about that - you're being impeached and face a whole series of federal investigations, and you don't know if Rudy is your lawyer? Rudy, don't go near the bus stop...

Then these REPUBS weigh in on Rudy...

“I think he’s massively hurting,” said a person close to the Trump campaign. “His TV appearances are so confused and contradictory, he’s creating an impression of internal chaos.”

“He’s inarticulate,” said a Republican who speaks to the president. “Rudy hurts the president with inconsistent, confusing messages.”

One former senior administration official described it this way when asked what Trump’s strategy against impeachment should be: “Hopefully Rudy will be on the space shuttle.”

Way to go Rudy! Between you throwing Trump under the bus, and him throwing you, we'll see who gets run over first...

Isn't that just like Trump?

Trump throws the Kurds to the wolves one moment and then the next moment he's defending a scumbag like Rudy Giuliani.

Yep, he's a fine example of today's Republican Party! Ronnie must be rolling over in his grave.

Trumpers, get ready for this bombshell....

The U.S. ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, will tell Congress that the content of a message he wrote denying a quid pro quo with Ukraine came directly from the president, said a person familiar with his testimony.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/465552-sondland-to-tell-congress-no-quid-pro-quo-from-trump-report

Confessing in the transcript, his lawyer under investigation for employing pro-Russian thugs, firing the Ambassador for refusing his abuse of power, now his Special Envoy confirms his quid-pro-quo confession..

Trump is toast....

we already know he will be impeached; we knew it from day 1 of the inauguration, We also know the Senate will not convict, because of the outstanding trade deals (Japan, and recent China) that your people cannot get done due to their own corruption and incompetence. We love what Trump is doing for our country, and despise your group. Do continue to post your crap, it will only strengthen our cause.

As you can see, the pressure is really building on the Trumpers....no facts, no substance, just "you guys"....

Conservatives care far more about retaining power than our country. Moscow Mitch has put out campaign ads admitting he won't let a conviction happen, which means he is admitting bias before ever seeing any evidenvece either way. This would get a juror bounced from the jury in a court of law.

As soon as Trump and all those in his administration are punished for all their lies.

And after Trump has built is promised wall.

But was has Schiff even got to do with this specific story? Ity is about a hugely influential man in the president's inner circle.

Quite right, so they are. Speaking personally though, I don't care if Rudy Giuliani really does have incriminating stuff on Joe and Hunter Biden. Let them hand it over for investigation, may the truth come out and may the Bidens face the consequences. If he's got dirt on Hilary Clinton let that come out too. I wasn't keen on her as a candidate and Biden doesn't enthuse me either. None of the Democratic presidential candidates do, really. However I'm from Britain and although I support the Labour Party I don't care much for the idea of Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister.

Now, I bet you'll never see any such admission from an online Trump supporter. It's all "totally love this President... greatest President in the history of the USA... 200 accomplishments... 4D chess... drain the swamp..." and then they have the brass to accuse liberals of idolising their leaders.

Things "they made up"? That Schiff met with the so-called "whistle blower" in advance is documents. That Schiff is linked to Ukrainian arms dealer Igor Pasternak is documented. That Berisma paid 900,000 USD to John Biden from Berisma is documented. (Ukranian MP Andi Durkow showed the documents).

But yes, you will not see that on CNN or the NYT. The orange man bad echo chamber must not be disturbed.

Yeah, this stuff:

It's weird you people still think that we are going to give your conspiracy theories an equal voice. That's just silly. You guys have cried wolf so many times, and we've realized that there never was a wolf, isn't a wolf, and in fact, you people have a weird delusion where you see wolves in every shadow.

Things "they made up"? That Schiff met with the so-called "whistle blower" in advance is documents.

He didn't. The Staff of the Intel Committee did and told him to contact the IG.

That Schiff is linked to Ukrainian arms dealer Igor Pasternak is documented.

He isn't. This article is about Giuliani working with two pro-Russian Ukrainian thugs and hustlers to smear Biden.

That Berisma paid 900,000 USD to John Biden from Berisma is documented. (Ukranian MP Andi Durkow showed the documents).

John Biden? Maybe John Barron....

Interesting sentiment. Doesn't matter if he allegedly broke laws, is for a fact an uncouth chauvinistic pig, a liar, a spoiled child, in a grandfathers body, and not to mention demented at best, it's ok that he run the country into the ground. All in the name of some stupid arsed pride.

Notice you use the ubiquitous "we", like you are representative of all the red-neck, moonshine running, hillbillies that support him.
