Rudy Giuliani declares himself a whistleblower and says that someone might try to kill him.

https://www.politico.com/news/2019/09/27/giuliani-trump-ukraine-005098

Giuliani declined to give POLITICO the name of the investigator but said he was an American citizen, the head of “a very, very large investigative agency,” and a former colleague of Giuliani’s at the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York. Giuliani said the investigator approached him on behalf of a client who wanted to relay damning allegations he had heard.

Giuliani, a personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, also declined to name the investigator’s client, but said he was also a U.S. citizen, and one he had met before. “I actually know the guy vaguely from years ago,” Giuliani said.

The approach, he said, sent Giuliani on a months-long hunt for information from Ukraine that would be damaging to the enemies of his client. That effort culminated on Thursday with the release of a whistleblower’s complaint about those efforts, followed by a furious attempt to discredit the complaint.

“I’m the real whistleblower,” declared Giuliani, who claimed to possess more damaging information and insisted that he, too, should be entitled to whistleblower protections. “If I get killed now,” he warned, “You won’t get the rest of the story.”

Holy shit this dude is having a psychotic break, but his fear might be well-founded.

It's hard to figure out tho - is he actually afraid for his life OR he just fucking nuts . . .

If it is the 1st, than spill the beans with hard core evidence to Adam S

Rudy seems oblivious to the possibility that his (political) demise could be the result of friendly fire (figuratively speaking).

Presumably he really "blew it". Now all we hear are high-pitched shrieking noises emanating from his pie hole. Rudy wants the State Department to come fix it. While whistling past the graveyard, he dialed 911 from his special exonerating cell phone with "pertinent details" as to his situation, but it appears that no high-level ambulance has come to his rescue as of yet. Poor Rudy!

The whole crew is losing its collective mind. Or off their meds.

So, Rudy is the real whistleblower, the hero of the on-going narrative?

I sense a speck of panic in these mutterings. Think Rudy is visualizing himself as the fall guy in this sad, sordid story.
