Rudy To Feds: An Attack On Me Is An Attack On All Of Trumpworld




https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/rudy-to-feds-an-attack-on-me-is-an-attack-on-all-of-trumpworld

Rudy Giuliani was once dubbed a human hand grenade by John Bolton. Now he is flinging himself at Trumpworld in a bid to defend himself against an increasingly serious federal criminal investigation.

The former lawyer to the president is claiming in a new court filing that not only is he being politically persecuted by prosecutors from the Southern District of New York, but so is former President Trump. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is also caught up in the mess, Giuliani claims, as well as the former U.S. Attorney in Pittsburgh.

“The SDNY simply chose to treat a distinguished lawyer as if he was the head of a drug cartel or a terrorist, in order to create maximum prejudicial coverage of both Giuliani, and his most well-known client – the former President of the United States,” reads the court filing, which protests against a government offer to have a special master sift through the results of search warrants executed on Giuliani’s home and office last month.

Giuliani bear-hugs Trump in the filing, saying that for much of the time that he was under investigation he was communicating and working with the former president and his Department of Justice.

by John Bolton. Bolton himself has always been a loose cannon.

“The SDNY simply chose to treat a distinguished lawyer as if he was the head of a drug cartel or a terrorist...", well Rudy if the shoe fits...

he would exercise his right to remain silent.

Or, in the words of Mark Twain: “It is better for a man to remain silent and appear a fool, then to open his mouth and remove all doubt.”

Too late for Rudy, I think.
