Giuliani Once Again Says He Has "Insurance" if Trump Throws Him "Under the Bus" (2019)

this was back in Nov. 2019, he then said afterwards that he was joking. or was he?

“I’ve seen things written like he’s going to throw me under the bus. When they say that, I say he isn’t, but I have insurance,” Giuliani went on to say. “This is ridiculous. We are very good friends....

...
Giuliani later took to Twitter to elaborate on his statement, claiming the “insurance” comment he made was both “sarcastic” and “relates to the files in my safe about the Biden Family’s 4 decade monetizing of his office.” The president’s lawyer added that if he were to “disappear’ then the files “will appear immediately.”

As weird as the quip was, it wasn’t the first time Giuliani has made it. Earlier this month, he made a very similar comment to the Guardian during an interview. When asked whether he was concerned Trump might throw him under the bus, Giuliani responded “with a slight laugh”: “I’m not, but I do have very, very good insurance, so if he does, all my hospital bills will be paid.” Seemingly recognizing how what he said could be interpreted in numerous different ways, his lawyer, Robert Costello, interjected: “He’s joking.” The Guardian left open the question whether the comment “was a joke or a veiled threat.”

If they tried to indict him for his many crimes he would release classified material that was dangerous to the US or embarrassing to the US government.

Pillow Guy seems to be off the guest list and he's still super loyal.
