This is not like pardoning Joe Arpaio or others. Giuliani, Barr, etc. are coconspirators with Trump in offenses for which Trump is being impeached.

Also they should both lose their law licenses over this. Bill Clinton lost his for a while for perjury during his impeachment proceeding for lying about sex. Surely this is a thousand times worse.

Demise. And, in all that whining he may start talking. He’s already tried to involve others by saying he didn’t act alone. in the end he will be unwilling to take a fall for the Dotard. And dotard won’t lift a finger to help him

Can't get a good read on Rudy G. But one thing I do know is he doesn't lie. ITs like he cant help but spill the beans. At times I think he's working against Mr. Trump to inform the American People. Rudy all but said last week he has the receipts regarding State Department conversations.

The documents requested had all be there, otherwise Rudy is in deep trouble.

. . . . I've been watching Rudi a fair bit lately, whenever he appears in front of a camera. (It's been painful.)

He is acting like a man who has decided the Old Rules no longer apply, and that he is on a mission to spread the word of the new rules handed down from high up (Trump) to the masses. The fervour for his mission is clear to see.

Somebody, prove him wrong!
