Does anyone else believe (as I do) that Giulliani is just a distraction?

A man long used to politics, public speaking, lawyering, public persona, etc etc etc...

Multiple multiple multiple absolutely ridiculous law suits?
Four Seasons Landscaping?
Leaky drippy Grecian Formula?
Insane public rants, complete with crazy crazy eyes?

This is a clown meant to make us laugh...smoke meant to block our view...a mirror to redirect our gaze...the misdirection to allow the "magic" to go undetected.

Probably, once again, someone here will ridicule all this with a trite reply of "PANIC!!!", but my gut still says "You best look over that shoulder if you wanna get out of this alive."

my bet is that in the background there are some REAL lawyers in the background doing REAL lawyering/lobbying/persuading. For a small example, I see this morning that at least one republican official from MI has met/will meet with trump regarding the state electors. I see Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Thomas all eyeballing and evaluating Alito and Roberts.

So give my ramblings all the worth that you have paid for them...but my gut hasn't felt this bad since my lawless days.

He wanted $20K plus a day from the campaign for his legal advisor fees. This entire administration is just a money grab. This will all get exposed over time.

Dumpy has gone out on a limb by breaking the law to get votes disqualified, or entire states results overturned, only to be dismissed by the courts. He is desperate and will do anything to get away from being in court thru the State of New York. He needs to attempt to pardon himself or resign so Mother's boy can pardon him, before the inauguration. Without that happening, he is subject to indictment for federal crimes.

The smoke and mirrors has ruined Rudy's requtation and did nothing to improve Dumpy's gutter crawling reputation. Putin and Dumpy must be so proud they have lowered our standing with the rest of the world.

I think once the so-called prestige law firms ran for the hills, Rudy and his band of gutter incompetents are all the orange dung heap has left to spew his "I won" bullshit...
