Everyone piles on after Rudy Giuliani tweets proof that he and Donald Trump are guilty
If Donald Trump’s increasingly deranged behavior is a misguided attempt at pleading insanity at his inevitable criminal trial, it won’t work; he’d have to demonstrate that he’s been mentally incompetent for as long as he’s been committing his crimes. On the other hand, Rudy Giuliani has been so far gone for so long, you have to wonder if he just might fit the legal criteria for an insanity plea.
The best evidence yet that Rudy Giuliani isn’t within a million miles of mental competence: on Thursday evening he tried to prove his innocence by tweeting a screen capture of a text message which instead proved that he, Donald Trump, and the State Department’s Kurt Volker really did try to criminally conspire with Ukraine to rig the 2020 election:
Suffice it to say that the responses to Rudy’s tweet were less than kind. He got ratioed, thanks to thousands of negative comments that ended up outnumbering the number of likes he received – never a good sign on Twitter.
What stands out here is that Rudy Giuliani is throwing specific people under the bus in a nonsensical effort to shift the blame away from himself. Kurt Volker is a former U.S. Ambassador to NATO, a real heavyweight. We’ll see if Volker responds by going public or what. The trouble for everyone involved in this scandal is that Rudy is so erratic and unstable, he’s likely to expose everyone and everything before much longer.
