If the leaked Bolton manuscript causes this much Republican panic.....

Imagine what is going to happen when Giuliani eventually spills his guts? (You know he will)

There is all kind of criminal behavior out there still to be reported - witness intimidation, bribery, money laundering, among other things.

At the least, it will make for an interesting general election campaign, with new blockbuster revelations on a weekly basis.

9. These guys do a lot of stupid stuff, but don't underestimate them.

I wonder who was the first genius in this panoply of stable genii to figure out that if you’re going to get involved with this rats nest of vipers, you’d damned well better have a poison pill ready to go in order to save your hide when they decide it’s time to throw you under the bus.

Giuliani doesn’t strike me as one of the smartest, just one of the most vindictive, and I think that’s really what counts with this administration. Like most bullies, if you show up ready to bluff and bluster the chief bully, you gain street cred with the rest of the cretins. I think Giuliani did just that. He’s got the goods on the orange turd because of this connections with New York. He let trump know for sure just to cement his position, and Giuliani strikes me as one of those who would make that “you’re with me to the end” bargain, and keep to it because in his twisted view by this time, it’s some last shred of honor that he imagines he maintains because it all falls apart after if this gets out.

We may or may never find out even some of the answers we’re looking for. I know that a lot of people here like to chant “truth will out”. I do too, I’m guilty, but the truth is that depending on who wins, the truth is likely to get buried.

7. Say, yellow, let's see what Roody's up to this morning!:

.@LouDobbs There is no way in the world President Trump would
say this to John Bolton. It’s a shame that a man will sacrifice his
integrity to make a few bucks on a book. No wonder he accomplished
so little as National Security Advisor.






OH NOES, Bolton has sacrificed his integrity!!

Roody is also very disappointed in his old acquaintance Lev (Jan 21):

“Rudy Giuliani is "heartbroken" over recent comments made by his former associate Lev Parnas, who says he worked closely with Giuliani in Ukraine as part of an attempt to find damaging information about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

Speaking to Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Monday night, Giuliani, President Trump's personal lawyer, said he was once "close to" Parnas, but was "misled by him." In October, Parnas and his business partner Igor Fruman were arrested and charged with campaign finance violations.”

So hey, life ain’t no picnic for this high-powered anti-corruption lawyer, I tells ya, so let’s enjoy every moment of it!!

is turning out to be an unreliable, two-faced, lying backstabber, and he’s only just figuring this out now!

How disappointed he must be!

13. Rudy should recognize an "unreliable, two-faced, lying backstabber" when he sees one.

After all, he sees one every time he looks in the mirror.

8. Could what happened to Epstein happen to Rudy? (if Rudy knows so much, & spills his guts?)

Or looks like Rudy is spilling guts to prosecutors?

10. BTW - where's that 'documentary' Ghoulliani supposedly made?

Last time he was overseas they said he was making a documentary that would supposedly 'prove' the Bidens were corrupt. Haven't heard anyone mention it, including Rudy. But then again, I don't watch the Faux news channel.
