Related: About this forumA Clue Giuliani is lying about Comey Leak
On October 26th or so, Giuliani told Martha Maccallum on Fox that something big was going to happen in a couple of days to hurt Hillary. And, now he says that what he was referring to was some big Trump ad. Well, he told Martha that it would come out in A COUPLE OF DAYS! A couple of days after October 26th, would have been October 28th or so. I don't remember any big Trump ad coming out around October 28th. So, since there was no big Trump ad that came out around October 28th or so, it shows that what Giuliani was referring to when he spoke to Martha Maccallum on Fox, must have been Comey's statement.

I bet there are none.
He's lying about this.
OK dickhead, give us one name of a former FBI agent. When did that agent become "former"?
Its a tangled web for the Ghoul.

(58,785 posts)ALSO a hard-right opponent of Comey like Giuliani, a "running buddy" of Giuliani who ALSO wants to see Hillary in irons, and ALSO with big ties to the slimedogs around Trump, ALSO said something big was coming.
Kallstrom has, like Giuliani, been on an anti-Comey romp for months, most often on Fox, where he's called the Clintons as a "crime family." He has been invoking unnamed FBI agents who contact him to complain about Comey's exoneration of Clinton in one interview after another, positioning himself as an apolitical champion of FBI values. Last October, after President Obama told 60 Minutes that the Clinton emails weren't a national security issue, Megyn Kelly interviewed Kallstrom on Fox. "You know a lot of the agents involved in this investigation," she said. "How angry must they be tonight?" "I know some of the agents," said Kallstrom. "I know some of the supervisors and I know the senior staff. And they're P.O.'d, I mean no question. This is like someone driving another nail in the coffin of the criminal justice system." Kallstrom declared that "if it's pushed under the rug," the agents "won't take that sitting down." Kelly confirmed: "That's going to get leaked."
Kallstrom, whose exchanges with active agents about particular cases are as contrary to FBI policy as Giulianis, formally and passionately endorsed Trump this week on Stuart Varneys Fox Business show, adding that Clinton is a pathological liar.
Kallstrom, who served as a Marine before becoming an agent, didnt mention that a charity hed founded decades ago and thats now called the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, was the single biggest beneficiary of Trumps promise to raise millions for veterans when he boycotted the Iowa primary debate.

Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation should be scrutinized!

(58,785 posts)The big lesson of this election isn't Trump himself but the 40% of Americans who are so caught up in partisan hostility and authoritarian mindlessness that they would set aside all morals try to elect an amoral, dysfunctional, fascistic, treasonous, dangerously unstable buffoon president.
They are scary.
And that said, I always try to remember that at least 15-20% of conservatives are absolutely refusing to vote for him. We'll know how many in a few days, but I'm really grateful to them and the hope they offer for the future.

(1,074 posts)When Wolf Blitzer interviewed Giuliani, why didn't he say, "Well, it's funny that you say you didn't know anything before Comey made his announcement on the 28th. It's funny because both you and Trump's daughter-in-law made reference to something big that was going to come out before Comey made his statement. But, you are now saying that what you meant when you said on October 26th with Martha Maccallum, that the something big that you referring to was some big Trump ad. Well, I don't remember any big Trump ad coming out on the 28th or so, so that can't really be what you were referring to with Martha. Are you sure, Mr. Giuliani, that when you said something bit was coming, that you weren't referring to Comey's statement???"

The only tRump ad I saw during the World Series was an echo of Comey's BS.

(4,522 posts)I would say the bombshell Giuliani was referring to were emails supposedly showing Hillary, Bill, Humma and Weiner were all running a sex slave ring. Complete BS of course, but once its out there, its out there.
