Giuliani assembled the Trump campaign legal team in a room that overflowed with trash and had a 'rotting smell,' a new book says
insider@insider.com (John L. Dorman) 9 hrs ago

Shortly after the November general election, Rudy Giuliani turned his focus to assembling a national legal team for then-President Donald Trump's campaign.

Giuliani, who was Trump's personal lawyer at the time, needed to bring together a national team in a day, with lawsuits set to go out shortly after November 14, according to a forthcoming book by Michael Wolff.
But the former New York City mayor was operating out of a conference room in the campaign's Rosslyn, Virginia, headquarters, that was "filled" with trash.

Wolff detailed the less-than-ideal situation in "Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency," an early copy of which was obtained by Insider.

"The room had not been cleaned since Election Day, eleven days before," the book said. "Refuse filled the trash cans and overflowed onto the floor. There was a heavy sour or rotting smell - in the trash was a week-old Buffalo chicken sandwich - mixed with Giuliani's reliable farting."

They could have assembled in a sterile OR; it would have still been filled with trash. n/t sarge43 Jul 2021 #2

It's right in line with the press conference at the Four Seasons Landscaping, in a rather uncanny way, isn't it?

...it was in large part because of Mayor Rudy. His Disnficatiin of Times Square was balanced by NYPD targeting black under his direction. He also would dress in drag and during a peace concert at Kincoln Center following The 1st Iraq War, he had Yasser Arafat removed during Beethoven's 9th. We singing on stage could see the whole thing transpire in the balcony near the stage. "The Ode to Joy" will never be the same after that petty action.
