2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRudy Is Lying. He has a tell. Get CNN's body language guru on this one...
So before Rudy went on Blitzer today he was on record that he had gotten Comey intel from active FBI sources...
Hours after Comeys letter about the renewed probe was leaked on Friday, Giuliani went on a radio show and attributed the directors surprise action to the pressure of a group of FBI agents who dont look at it politically.
Rudy Guiliani to Lars Larson:
The other rumor that I get is that theres a kind of revolution going on inside the FBI about the original conclusion [not to charge Clinton] being completely unjustified and almost a slap in the face to the FBIs integrity, said Giuliani. I know that from former agents. I know that even from a few active agents.

This is problematic for the person who used to like to be called America's mayor. Go back and take a look at his interview with Wolf Blitzer. He's obviously freaking out and trying to mitigate his legal exposure. I think he's lying and the dude has a MEAN tell.
When asked when he last had contact with the FBI he puts on his best actor face and scrunches his brow. Then he really sells that he has to go almost physically go back into the crevices of his mind to search for the answer. It's about at the 7th grade children's theater level. Then he says the word "Gosh."
Look at the guys face at 1:07. ("Gosh" Then 12:11. (substituting "gosh" with "I guess" but to make up for it he grabs his ear nicely)
In a way, his performance is so bad that it insults our intelligence. Everyone on the planet knows that before you go on CNN, you think about what it is you are going to say. Obviously you would think hard about when the last time you talked to an FBI agent because that is the ultimate issue at hand. The whole fucking purpose of the interview is for you to walk back a dumbshit statement you made earlier and clarify that you haven't talked to FBI in precisely _____ months and that you didn't get the info from an active FBI agent. Gosh almighty.
By the way his vocal inflection is really really strained. Lot's of ums at critical moments. An ear grab at 4:40. Some mean stuttering at 5:06. And on and on.
Please, please, let me play poker with this man.

And he is hated by the New York Fire Department. They hold him personally responsible for their losses on 9/11.
