Donald Trump defense attorney Rudy Giuliani admitted on Thursday that he may have been played as a fool by Russia in his efforts to slime Joe Biden.

(11,949 posts)3. Rudy is realizing that if Biden wins, he is in deep shit.
No wonder he has been so quiet for the past few months.

Cannot be on both sides of this fence, Rudy.
You are either an American patriot, or a russian pos.
We all know which side he is on.

(10,127 posts)11. Rudy seems to be setting Trying to get ahead of something.
He's a traitor to the nation. I have no doubt.

(9,481 posts)12. Follow the money
We know Ghouliani has it hidden in some offshore bank account somewhere.
Ron "Rubles" Johnson is also likely on the take.

(7,538 posts)15. What a laugh it would be if Rudy ultimately was indicted by Ukraine
As far as I'm concerned they could have Manafort for prosecution as well.

Otherwise he is just a plain old idiot.
