Anyone know what happened to Rudy G?

It seemed like he was Trump's #1 TV surrogate and all around cheerleader. He went on the shows when no one else would to defend him on every topic under the sun. Now it seems like he is nowhere to be found.

Anyone know if there is a story there?

He's "running" a cybersecurity firm and "chairing" committees for this on behalf of the Dump.

He was at some forum about cybersecurity on 3/7. Google it as the comments about his presentation were hilarious.

It's intentional.

Honestly, I think the cybersecurity thing is cover for using him to help the Dump Administration lay out its defense to any upcoming case regarding the Russia/election and many of the other lawsuits against him. Given his connections AND experience with DOJ plus connections to Comey and many other potential investigators with FBI/DOJ, etc - he's more useful behind the scenes.

so they are attempting to become invisible. It's too late to take cover as the investigation moves forward.

They both like to be the center of attention, but there's only room for number Trump. But Rudy does know how to lay low for a little while, if it serves his interest.

Don't worry--soon he'll rise to feed on the blood of the living once more.

Trump hires Rudy Giuliani's son for White House role

Trump has brought on Andrew Giuliani, the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, to work in the Office of Public Liaison and Intergovernmental Affairs, two sources familiar with the hire told POLITICO.

In his new post, Andrew Giuliani, who once dreamed of becoming a professional golfer, helped organize the Patriots' upcoming visit to the White House after their come-from-behind Super Bowl victory, and also assisted First Lady Melania Trump’s staff during Trump’s speech before a joint session of Congress last week. The younger Giuliani has known the Trump family for years.

...buying decades of extended youth for the former mayor, who is even now spawn another generation of woe in the basement of the White House. The fine print on the contract commands him to call himself "Andrew."
