Guiliani admits he got intel from FBI: That means FBI broke law. Guiliani has no privilege.

Update:
Ds in Congress now calling for probe based on Guiliani's comments. Beautiful. How's it feel, glass house dweller?

Original Post:

Looks like Guiliani admitted today that the FBI ("sources" probably retired) told him in advance of their activities v HRC. That is Guiliani telling the world that an agent or agents of the FBI broke the law.

The term "sources" is for reporters. A reporter gets to say "source" and that's generally understood to mean that they don't have to reveal names. But Rudy is not a reporter. He also doesn't seem to have other obvious ways to prevent disclosure of his "source." He isn't likely married to the agent. He doesn't have a lawyer/client relationship with the agent. That means he could be legally compelled to reveal who leaked it.

By the way, if you think the FBI leaking isn't a big deal--it is. Federal crime. Very bad. Even fox knows this.

Unless Rudy pleads the Fifth, he has to reveal his source. And honestly I don't see how a judge would allow him to invoke the Fifth. Hearing leaked info ain't illegal, and therefore there is no real possibility that testifying against the leaker would tend to incriminate him.

Rudy just did a (pretty) stupid thing.

1. Tom Delay did the same EXACT thing in January of this year claiming an indictment was imminent

based on info he supposedly got from the FBI.

The FBI needs to clean house. They are clearly misusing power for political gain.

2. Watch this & tell me Giuliani didn't know. Comey political conspiracy evidenced!!!

40. Ghouly is positively gleeful the alleged rapist and fraud will be in the WH soon!

Until DOJ comes knocking, asking who leaked. Then he won't be so happy

[vadermike]

3. This hitting social media

Let's get this out there MSM has to cover this now

[Fahrenthold451]

11. That's an excellent point. Huffpost video cut out prior

Still means he would have to reveal retired FBI source, and that source undoubtedly is operating under the same security regulations. Just makes the ladder longer. But now I'll have to amend my comment to "What Rudy did was pretty stupid"

[MineralMan]

5. Rudy is not a smart man these days.

I think he has slipped a gear or something. The teeth are worn out and no longer mesh well.

[canetoad]

39. No longer gnash well. nt

[dalton99]

6. There is a RW pipeline within the FBI that runs through Comey

it's a two-way pipeline

[anamandujano]

31. I'll venture a guess that in this case, it was not a FBI leak but an order from Guiliani to invent

something that would hog the news.

[TrekLuver]

13. Why would he admit this?

[Fahrenthold451]

17. Because he is zealously pushing a "Clinton cash" narrative that HRC is facing indictment

And in his zeal he lost track of himself a bit.

[TrekLuver]

22. Well I declare him UNFIT to leak this information.

[triron]

15. According to Rachel (of TRMS)

last nite it's because the FBI story was promulgated by Breitbart and the Trump campaign. So of course he knew.

[napkinz]

16. kick

[workinclasszero]

18. Investigate Trump and his inner circle because the FBI leakers let them into the conspiracy early

'We've got some stuff up our sleeve': Donald Trump's daughter-in-law hints that Republican nominee has an 'October surprise' to drop on Hillary Clinton

They obviously knew Comey was going rogue ahead of time by the 24th of Oct at least according to this article.

Lock them up!

27. K&R nt

[bucolic_frolic]

29. Telling us the election is rigged against him while

at the same time trying to rig the election himself!

Giuliani is just a portion of the overall strategy

[bigbadR]

30. FBI clean up

If Hillary is elected, I for one will insist that she clean up the FBI, first by firing Comey and any agent or other employee who leaked to that fool Rudy.

[malthaussen]

33. They admit these things because they know there will be no consequences.

Clean up the FBI? Aye, a fine idea. Enforcing the damned law would be favorite, too.

34. Politically what Guiliani did was very very unskilled

Ending the day hearing calls from Congress for an investigation with you as a target is never a good thing.

[JoePhilly]

41. Lock him UP!!! Lock him UP!!! Lock him UP!!!

Him, and whoever leaked to him.

[dawnie51]

43. Hubris is hell.......

Ghouliani wanted so desperately to crow about helping to bury Hillary, he totally lost his mind, and as a former prosecutor, he admitted to a criminal leak. His need for approval and recognition overpowered his sense of self-preservation. That's how deep the hate goes with these people.
