The quote below from Giuliani is a stunning admission.

[kpete]

“I believed that I needed Yovanovitch out of the way,” he said. “She was going to make the investigations difficult for everybody.”

1. Yay transparency! Most transparent President ever! Openly criminal

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. Good point. I work from home and have news

On in background all day. You hear alot subliminally - tone - patterns. Dingbat can't keep a secret - even if it makes him look bad. It like his superiority complex kicking in. Roody same way.

[OhNo-Really]

30. 😂😂

[Wawannabe]

2. When did he say this? Please

Thanks

[MineralMan]

4. Click the link to read the New Yorker article.

[Wawannabe]

5. Rude dude

I don’t click links and said please.

[TeamPooka]

6. you made your choice then.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

7. How did you get to this discussion, then?

[MineralMan]

8. I see. But, you feel entitled to tell others to go click the link and fetch

the information you want? Really?

You don't click links? How did you get here the first time?

Rude? What's rude is demanding that others do things for you.

You asked. I told you how you could find the information you wanted. You didn't go there.

[Wawannabe]

16. I demanded nothing. I said please.

You are being vicious - for what?

You. Mineralman. Will be my first official ignore on this site. Won’t be seein ya around the neighborhood.

[pangaia]

18. I'm sure MineralMan is quaking in his boots...

[bsiebs]

19. Your great loss to ignore Mineralman... he's a joy on this site :)

Btw .. quote was from interviews in November 2019 with the author of the article, Adam Entous. The magazine is dated for 12/23/2019. All a click away...

[Haggis for Breakfast]

31. "vicious" ?????

You need a dictionary.

[PatrickforO]

33. And why would you ignore Mineralman?

He's great.

[Chemisse]

34. Believe me; it's your loss.

Mineral Man is one of my faves.

[40RatRod]

22. If you knew the info, you should have just told him IMHO.

[MineralMan]

24. I didn't go look it up, although I went to the link briefly.

I wasn't that interested in when and where it was said. I trust the New Yorker to get that right, so the quote was enough for me.

[dawg day]

29. Some of us post the links rather than give a lengthy excerpt--

to stay this side of copyright law/courtesy, and also to guide everyone to the entire article. The authors might be getting compensated or reviewed partly by clicks and reads.

That's just an alternate view of why posting and following links here are helpful to the overall discourse.

[PatrickforO]

32. Why would you not click the link?

The quote is right there in the text of the article, and it is dated to the month.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. You think everyone has your experience in specifics. They don't.

You may think everyone has exactly your browser and your settings and your browsing history. Not all of us do.

When I click the link, it delivers a navigation bar of some kind top of page but almost instantly erases that and presents a completely blank page.

When did Giuliani say that?

Please.

[MineralMan]

11. Someone went and looked it up:

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Thank you. I was interrupted composing my post and didn't see it before I clicked Post. . . .nt

[MineralMan]

13. What device and browser are you using?

Perhaps I can suggest something that will help you navigate the Internet better...

There are many browsers available. I use Chrome on all of my devices. It lets me see the New Yorker's page just fine, both on my desktop and my phone.

15. I have chosen to block trackers. I don't need commercial & political sites to read each others cooki

... to read each others cookies the way they do with their interlocking agreements.

[MineralMan]

25. OK. Oh well...

[Wawannabe]

14. Thank you

☺️

Not sure why I was so viciously attacked above but I appreciate you.

[nini]

17. vicious?

really?

count yourself lucky if you think was vicious.

[pangaia]

20. LOL..

Give him a few weeks.. :&gt )

[Chemisse]

36. LOL! You don't know what vicious is on DU.

This exchanged was annoyed but polite.

[PatrickforO]

35. I did get into the article, and he said it to the reporter

'in a conversation in November.'

[lastlib]

9. here:

"In a long conversation with me this past November, Giuliani largely confirmed Lutsenko’s account of their relationship. He, too, saw Yovanovitch as an obstacle, hindering his attempt to dig up dirt against his client’s rival in advance of the 2020 election. “I believed that I needed Yovanovitch out of the way,” he said. “She was going to make the investigations difficult for everybody.” Giuliani compiled a dossier on the Bidens and Yovanovitch, which he sent to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and which was shared with the F.B.I. and with me. John Solomon, a journalist, had interviewed Lutsenko for the Washington-based publication The Hill. Giuliani promoted the project. “I said, ‘John, let’s make this as prominent as possible,’ ” Giuliani told me. “ ‘I’ll go on TV. You go on TV. You do columns.’ ”

[MineralMan]

3. Who elected or appointed Giuliani to any public office or position?

Nobody? Say goodnight, Rudy!

[MyOwnPeace]

21. You got THAT right!

And isn't that one of the points that came out of the hearings with Chairman Schiff?
Career professional after career professional came forward and told of being side-stepped by "Mayor Rudy" because he was IQ45's "buddy" running an "alternative plan" - you know, like "alternative facts!"

[MineralMan]

26. Yes. That Trump's "Personal Attorney" was acting

in foreign affairs is a horrible precedent to set. He was interfering in State Department territory and not under the control of our professional diplomats. A recipe for calamity. Trump is a moron!

[aggiesal]

23. Rudy Colludy ...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. Wow! Stunning is an understatement. But "I" ?? Cant

Dingbat say " I didn't tell him?"

[kentuck]

37. This is huge!

[live love laugh]

38. Old Double Down Don ... if caught DO MORE!

NEVER admit guilt ala Roy Cohn.

In the context of his M.O. this is no stunner. It’s what he always does and to be expected. He’s going to claim he can do whatever he wants—and keep doing it to prove it.
