Giuliani says he'd defend Ivanka Trump with a lance if Mueller went after her.

Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday night that he would charge into special counsel Robert Mueller’s offices “with a lance” if Russia probe investigators went after Ivanka Trump, but that her husband Jared Kushner as a man is “disposable.”

Giuliani, a former mayor of New York City who is a new member of President Donald trump's legal team, was on Fox News responding to a Politico story from the prior day reporting that the reason Mueller hasn’t called Trump’s eldest daughter for an interview is that he is saving the president’s children until the end, to be risk-averse.

“Ivanka Trump? I think I would get on my charger and go ride into their offices with a lance, if they go after Ivanka,” Giuliani told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “Now if they do do Ivanka, which I don’t think they will, the whole country will turn on them. If they go after her, the whole country will turn on them. They’re going after his daughter?”

Sir Giuliani going after Mueller? LMAO! It would be like the Black Knight going after King Arthur in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Rudy can try to use that lance, but it's gonna be nothing to Mueller's rifle.

You remember Full Metal Jacket's boot camp scenes?

"This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen."


And if Rudy was anyone from Holy Grail, it's be Sir Robin. Shut up and go and change your armor, Rudy.

This is so fucked up on so many levels. He would get on his charger and go ride in with a lance? Who does he think he is? King Arthur? Does he have the hots for Ivanka too? Is he not aware of the fact that a majority of people in this country despises the Trump family, including Ivanka?

Wake me up when it's all over. Can't deal anymore.

Having to carry a heavily armored man.

Chargers could also refer to lighter-weight breeds that were used more for speed attacks and such, rather than the ritualized warfare of the joust.

Who knows what's in Rudy's mind? I doubt he could even move in a suit of armor.
I know I couldn't!

It’s a stereotype. The old man who didn’t mature and can’t appreciate the gifts of age or wisdom so becomes a caricature of something he fancies.

Spanky’s lust for admiration and loyalty may just have blinded him to the danger of letting the poor thing out there in public.

On one hand, it sounds like he's trying to get people riled up at the very thought.

On the other hand, it could almost be construed as a threat to obstruct justice.

And yeah, like others have said, WTF? Did DJT ask him to say that, because he's afraid Ivanka will screw up if questioned?

This is getting worse than a bad soap opera.
