Rudy Giuliani goes off the deep end after Inspector General report goes badly for him
Yesterday the Inspector General released his report on the FBI’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Just about everyone in the DOJ came out of it looking badly for one reason or another, particularly James Comey, and the only person who was vindicated was Hillary herself. The weird part: Rudy Giuliani’s suspicious role was largely left out of it, and then tidbits surfaced suggesting it was because he’s facing criminal charges. Then Rudy went off the deep end – even by his standards.
After the report was released and it became clear that Giuliani was in trouble, he sounded the alarm. He (predictably) appeared on the Sean Hannity show on Fox News, and began calling for just about everyone else in the IG report to be immediately taken down. Rudy called for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to be suspended, even though there’s nothing negative about Mueller in the report. Rudy called for Peter Strzok to be arrested, even though he’s not accused of having committed any crimes, and the report merely slapped him on the wrist for professional improprieties.
It’s bad enough for Rudy Giuliani that this IG report did nothing at all to help his pal Donald Trump. Rudy has been clinically obsessed with Hillary Clinton for nearly twenty years, and instead of making Trump look good, this report made Hillary look good. But this was all about what the report said – or didn’t say – about Rudy himself.
When Rudy Giuliani first announced that he was joining Donald Trump’s legal defense team in the Trump-Russia scandal, it felt like he was trying to derail the investigation before it could circle around and expose his own criminal role in the scandal. Now that the latest developments seem to be indicating that Rudy is indeed going to face criminal charges for his actions, no wonder he’s going further into la la land than ever.
