melting Rudy Giuliani explicitly says that Trump's goal is to “overturn the election”
Did Trump actually call the two Wayne County canvassers to try to reverse their reversal. Autogolpe Trump's widespread effort to delay or undermine certification includes no-take-backsies.

Rudy may go to prison despite all that Russian pandering
Rudy Giuliani hasn’t kept his gaslight under a bushel, but may get prosecuted, not for his quasi-espionage or actions supporting Trump’s re-election, but simply for defrauding the US Treasury. x To get the amount of money Giuliani did, business owners must prove payroll expenses between $720,000 and $1.68 million in 2019. Giuliani is the CEO —…
The Donald, Death, and Disinformation
Recent attempts to distort COVID information in Florida are only a symptom of how GOP states will be undercounting or suppressing data. This is only part of the larger GOP project of vote suppression distorted by Trump’s ignorance of public policy. Even Rudy Giuliani has reemerged to flog Ukrainian disinformation about Biden. “The coronavirus pandemic…
banksters and gangsters: The Donald's mafia state squanders decency
There’s squandering decency and then there’s squandering democracy. Trump moves the US toward a post-Soviet satellite autocracy, currently in a HR reign of terror against impeachment witnesses. Expect a Senate subpoena for the whistleblower. (Thread) Mafia States Each of Trump's outrageous actions push us one step closer to what Hungarian scholar Balint Magyar calls a…
How Rudy helped impeach Trump in the 84 days of Arms for Dirt
A new article provides a narrative that while explaining the story of the Arms for Dirt scandal, that there’s a timeline for several parallel activities.

Russian oligarch money and the GOP: 2016 repeats itself as the receipts are finally arriving

Groundhog Day: a second Trump impeachment could happen
As unlikely as it could happen, the eventual resolution of the Don McGahn testimony issue could bring another impeachment inquiry. The investigations continue regardless of this first impeachment, because there’s just so much Trump lawlessness, one Senate trial won’t be enough. And even if we get to a second Trump term alive, there could be more impeachments…
Russian support for Rudy's “investigations” in Ukraine also included disinformation
A new Washington Post article describes the mechanics of disinformation underlying portions of the smear campaign to which Rudy Giuliani claimed credit as a private citizen working for Trump.

Rudy G's disinformation road show has begun in the counter-impeachment propaganda campaign

Rudy to Testify? Really? [Updated]
All Washington is astonished that Trump, about to be impeached for putting the arm on Ukraine, sent his personal shyster back to Kyiv to do it some more. But remember that Trump thinks there’s nothing wrong with doing that, because he just knows Joe Biden was corruptly interfering in Ukraine’s legal system, if he can…
David Dennison reminds us about disinformation as Rudy Colludy manufactures some
Greg Sargent has an excellent piece on disinformation in WaPo, reminding us how the GOP continues to traffic in disinformation as the Senate impeachment trial approaches.

A Timeline for Giuliani
(This diary is based partly on information provided by The Daily 202 and JustSecurity). Often times a timeline is useful in sorting out a complicated story, and Bog knows the Ukraine story is a complicated mess. I’ve thought about creating several timelines, but with this morning's diaries of Trump looking for a bus to throw…
insidious R.U.D.Y. “something we have to deal with”
Rudy can’t help himself, he just keeps confessing. The question remains whether he will get to do that under oath before Congress. The investigation I conducted concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption, was done solely as a defense attorney to defend my client against false charges, that kept changing as one after another were disproven….
Insidious R.U.D.Y. and Trump were fully engaged with amigos Volker and Sondland
Don and Rudy were fully engaged in the shakedown, and the Amigos were instrumental. CNN reports that Pompeo agreed in Congressional testimony about the now CIA-affirmed role of Russia in 2016 interference but seemed to now agree with a new CT trying to shift the 2016 blame to Ukraine. Rudy also really wanted that Biden CT…

Rudy: “Trump won't turn on me, we're '100% loyal'”
Rudy started tweeting because there’s some new press on him as well as a suggestion that criminal investigations continue. It is an incredible thing to watch old men in obvious cognitive decline run around the highest levels of our politics, incriminating themselves almost constantly with, so far, zero consequences. The most outlandish example is Rudy Giuliani, who…
