Good luck with that! Giuliani surely knows where dead bodies are hidden, and he's not the type of guy to be screwed without retaliating.

 

How many times I have read a similar comment in the past year, and I have seen any dead bodies been dug up or falling out of a closet yet

I believe he means that metaphorically and there is the example of Michael Cohen. He couldn't be bought off by Trump with the prospect of a pardon because he was convicted in a state court.

Perhaps the reported falling-out between Trump and Giuliani means Giuliani won't be on hand for Trump's impeachment trial... well, at least, not as one of his representing attorneys.

 

However, the potential list would seem to be getting shorter and shorter, as Trump has become more and more toxic in the wake of his Capitol insurrection. Most attorneys probably won't want to come anywhere near him.

 

Perhaps Texas AG Paxton will be available. 

 

 

Paxton will probably be indicted himself shortly..

 

Bad optics, but that's never stopped Trump in the past.

Ya ever hear of Michael Cohen? Giuliani would be the corroborating witness.

Of course I have heard about Cohen, and my comment was because when Cohen got charged, the same comments were posted.

 

Fact is that Cohen got convicted, but I'm not aware of any dead bodies that have surfaced

Indeed!

 

PS - In Paxton's case, he's already been indicted in the past in the case that's yet to have been resolved, and apparently remains under investigation in a separate, subsequent case.

As both the Trump and Paxton examples prove, it's very difficult to impose sanctions/legal remedies against entrenched politicians, even for clear-cut wrongdoing, in the current hyper-partisan environment.

Several of TV supporters who have gone silent have openly admitted in the past it's all about their stock portfolios/401 k's/pensions. Judas's 30 pieces of silver aka blood money.

Yes most of the TV Trump supporters have gone silent. I think we know the main offenders, heck, they never missed a change to blow the "suspect/stolen election" horn so we saw their TV handles often enough..

 

And maybe it was about the Benjamins for them.. but those 70 million, minus the goofs that showed up at the Capitol, have so far managed pretty well to avoid having to own their stupidity..

 

It's all Trump and his elected running dogs so far (plus the goofs).. It's about time for the citizens who actually went into the voting booths (most Dems used the U.S, Mail) and ticked Trump's name to get the attention they deserve. Where was the due diligence prior to voting for someone to lead the Nation for the next 4 years? Not much in evidence. Just "Trump is my guy!"

Because of his testimony, where the dead bodies are buried, the NY AG is now investigating Trump for several crimes.  Perhaps Rudy could do the same?  Ya never know!

 

Congrats to Cohen!!!

President Donald Trump may turn to Rudy Giuliani to defend him against possible impeachment over his role in last week’s violent siege of the U.S. Capitol, according to two people familiar with the matter.

If that's true then trump is <deleted>

Well, Cohen did ultimately cooperate and disclose information about Trump, conveniently let his recordings be found, and published a book. It may not have had much impact, but it wasn't good for Trump either.

Unlike Cohen, Giuliani knows a lot about what Trump did as a President, and may have information about abuse of power, treason, etc.. His main problem is that it may be difficult for him to talk without incriminating himself

PLENTY of dead bodies where "Individual 1" was referenced. If Giuliani corroborates Cohens testimony, "Individual 1" is screwed.

I don't follow those stories in detail, so I was aware of the book, but not if he had much spilled the beans on Trump.

 

I recall he shouted from the high roof, and they all will cooperate to get reduced sentences, but as you say in your last sentence, when start talking they can';t avoid incriminating themselves, because they are all criminals as that is the main reason Trump knew them

Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell have disappeared from Fox airwaves
The Trump-affiliated attorneys were once a regular presence with baseless claims of election fraud. That has changed since a legal pushback from voting-technology companies.
