https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-impeachment-giuliani/giuliani-calls-trump-to-tell-him-he-was-joking-about-having-an-insurance-policy-idUSKBN1Y12CFThe attorney, Robert Costello, said Giuliani at my insistence had called Trump within the last day to emphasize that he had not been serious when he said he had an insurance policy, if thrown under the bus.
He shouldnt joke, he is not a funny guy. I told him, Ten thousand comedians are out of work, and you make a joke. It doesnt work that way, Costello told Reuters.Giuliani has already said that he was being sarcastic when he made the comments. Trump, too, has brushed them off, telling reporters in the Oval Office this week that Rudy is a great guy. The White House declined to comment on Costellos remarks.
-snip-
Costello declined to comment on what directions Trump had given Giuliani on Ukraine, citing attorney-client privilege.
He said there had been no change in Trump and Giulianis relationship. They speak all the time, Costello said.

(62,444 posts)You know, if someone went on national media to say they had a video of me engaging in carnal relations with a thanksgiving turkey, it would not be necessary for them to call me to say they didn't have one.
i would already *know* that nobody has a video of me engaging in carnal relations with a turkey.
How could I know such a thing? Hmmmmmmm.... perhaps because I'm quite certain I've never done that.

(14,483 posts)Rudy doesn't have an insurance policy. What he likely has is a big drawer full of smoking guns and incriminating evidence on Trump and a lot of other high-level people. He's been around Trump for far too long in New York not to.
And, Trump probably has a drawer full on Rudy, along with many others. They're both playing a game and they know it. Trouble is, neither of these fools can keep their mouth shut for more than a minute.
Besides, there's no such thing as insurance policies to protect you against the political mafia in today's world. They will exact their revenge eventually, regardless.
This is how today's GOP rolls.

(62,444 posts)If I said, "I have pictures of greyl robbing a bank" would I need to call you to say I didn't?
