Legal expert: Rudy Giuliani is now toast
Yesterday, court records revealed that Igor Fruman – who long silently remained on Team Trump – has now decided to change his plea to guilty. We took this to mean that Fruman has decided to hurry up and cooperate against Rudy Giuliani, as the Feds appear poised to soon move ahead against Giuliani with or without Fruman’s help.
It turns out we’re not the only ones who see it this way. Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirshner has tweeted that if Fruman is indeed cooperating, then Rudy’s odds of avoiding prison have dropped to zero. Kirschner added that “The ONLY way Rudy saves himself is by flipping on Trump & company.”
We strongly suspect the Feds already have Rudy Giuliani nailed to the wall. Just to convince a judge to sign off on the warrant to raid Rudy’s home and seize his communications, the Feds would have needed to present overwhelming evidence of Rudy’s guilt. But if Igor is indeed flipping, then Rudy’s odds of conviction and prison go from high to near-certain. This is before getting to the unanswered question of whether Lev Parnas, who loudly turned against Trump world a long time ago, is also flipping.
