Rudy Giuliani Is the Loosest Cannon on the Deck. Democrats Just Served Him a Subpoena.

Congressman Adam Schiff and the other chairmen of the House committees looking into Camp Runamuck seem dreadfully intimidated by the fuming and fussing on the electric Twitter machine. From the Los Angeles Times:

The subpoena, which was announced Monday, sets a deadline of Oct. 15 for Giuliani to provide documents to three House committees. “Our inquiry includes an investigation of credible allegations that you acted as an agent of the President in a scheme to advance his personal political interests by abusing the power of the Office of the President,” reads the letter from House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, House Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel and House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings. The letter to Giuliani cites “a growing public record, including your own statements.”

The letter specifically cites a now famous interview on September 19 with Chris Cuomo on CNN in which Giuliani bounced from saying that he had not asked the Ukrainian government to investigate the Bidens to answering a question about whether he had by saying, "Of course, I did," in the space of about three minutes. There is absolutely no telling what Giuliani might say in front of several congressional committees. Giuliani has become a mess, but he's become a mess that has to terrify the folks in the White House.

He's the wildest of wild cards and the loosest cannon on the deck. He's also in the middle of everything regarding the extortionate outreach to the government of Ukraine, and in the middle of every scandal flowing into and out of that banana-pants exercise. He's liable to say anything to anyone. If anyone is frightened down to their socks, it's not Adam Schiff or Elijah Cummings. It's the guy whose fate now depends on an erratic former mayor of New York who didn't do anything, except that he did.
