Rudy Giuliani just confessed that he was behind the fake State Department Inspector General documents
Earlier today the State Department Inspector General urgently briefed the House and Senate about the fact that someone had tried to plant suspicious documents in the State Department which promoted pro-Trump conspiracy theories. These documents were so obviously inauthentic, some of them were reportedly on Trump hotel stationery. If you’re wondering which idiot on Donald Trump’s team was behind this stunt, don’t worry, he just confessed.
After the State Department Inspector General’s briefing today, Rudy Giuliani appeared on CNN tonight and promptly confessed that he was behind at least some of the documents involved. Rudy told CNN that he provided some of these documents to the State Department, and that he received assurances from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that the allegations being made in the documents would be investigated. Rudy now seems surprised that instead of that happening, the Inspector General decided to report the documents to Congress for being phony.
This is yet another classic case of Rudy Giuliani confessing to something before anyone even had a chance to accuse him of it, because the guy just can’t help himself (nor can he help his client). Notably, Rudy just threw Mike Pompeo under the bus yet again, by alleging that Pompeo promised to investigate Rudy’s phony evidence as if it were real. Pompeo is having a terrible day, and Rudy just made it even worse for him.
We’re not sure what these knuckleheads think they’re doing at this point, as their schemes keep turning out to be even more stupid, delusional, and just plain weird than we imagined. What is clear is that Donald Trump and his team have no idea how to fight back against the whistleblower scandal, impeachment, or any of it. Trump doesn’t even know how to fight back against what Rudy Giuliani keeps doing to him.
