Trump compares Giuliani to Eliot Ness

Former President Trump on Thursday slammed the decision by a New York court to suspend his former personal attorney Rudy Giuliani's license to practice law in the state.

The Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court announced earlier in the day that it is shelving Giuliani’s New York law license, after concluding that he made “demonstrably false and misleading statements” when he was representing Trump and his campaign in their failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.

“The greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, the Eliot Ness of his generation, one of the greatest crime fighters our Country has ever known, and this is what the Radical Left does to him,” Trump wrote.

Mr. Mess to spring a sewage leak.

I think "Eliot Mess" is a good nickname.

If Rudy can't get work, he may actually try to get the money Trump owes him.

Dotard just wants to make sure he's not forgotten, and what better way to achieve this than to periodically remind people of what a complete Imbecile he is?

On a similar note, the ghoul’s role as a leader on 9/11 has been spectacularly exaggerated by the media.

So an apt comparison, in a way.
