Looks like Rudy is going to go through some things. If the whole kit and kaboodle is as bad as I suspect it will be, lots of these disgusting cartoon creatures will be going through some things. Pray he doesn't get Epsteined

Epsteined....now there is a fine neologism! May I assume it means murdered in prison and made to look like a suicide?

Yes, when the suicide is, umm, questionable

That’s not likely imo. Epstein was eliminated because of the dirt that he carried on people, very powerful and very wealthy people. He was a repository of blackmail on certain billionaires. At least one of those billionaires decided they didn’t want that information to show up in a courtroom or a plea bargain or a deposition. That’s my educated guess. I don’t think Rudy stockpiles that type of information. He’s kind of a lower level flunky to Putin and maybe others.

Oh my. The dominoes are beginning to fall. When it actually happens, it’s sad. But so well deserved.

I see so many people writing about their hopelessness that justice will ever be served against the kingpins. Lucian’s article comes with a sense of inevitability, of impending doom, and this indictment will certainly start to dispel that hopelessness. I know Agent Orange’s time will come, and when it does, oh my God it will be so overdue.

Get ready for Rudy in pajamas wandering about in a befuddled state.

I think Rudy really should have retired at 65 to Bermuda and stayed there-but his ego and infinite love of money, notoriety and access to the media have done him in. It's obvious that one of his defenses is probably going to be his age.."I'm too old to remember what I did" and blame it all on his bad memory, because that hair dye must have leaked into his brain, too. Alzheimer's by Clairol, as it were.

But there's one shining point: maybe we could get Sacha Baron Cohen to film his biography from prison or at least an interview. The last one was so hilarious..

Interesting that Rudy’s tenure at SDNY resulted in that wholesale removal of the heads of the old guard Italian mafia. This of course made way for Semion Mogilevich’s Russian mafiya’s dominance of the streets of NYC (not to mention Trump Tower). Guess Rudy just feels more simpatico with the $lavs than his own Italian folks.

In the end it may well be about money and little else. Mr. Giuliani always knew Trump was a fraudster and not likely to be re-elected. Did he game everyone? The revelation Trumps campaign rigged the MAGA fundraising might be closer to the truth about these characters. Hustle Ukraine to bluff the marks and game the Republican Party to get millions more? The final wrath of DOJ and FBI is fury at a bunch of sleazy money guys. Mr. Trump has to be worried. He so offended so many at the fed it’s unlikely he will be allowed to slip away.

Always knew he was a self promoter when he fired Bill Britton and took credit for Bratton’s efforts with reducing crime in NYC

I rarely read biographies of loathesome people, but if a good one comes out about Giuliani, I think I'd go for it. WTH happened to this guy?

Last night in an interview with HRC, she said she did not even recognize the man.

Interesting! I was never a fan, and I've never lived in NYC, but from the outside this seems like a spectacular fall from competence.

They won’t let Rudy in with the regular population...sad to say.

Why am I now thinking of the time when several cops sodomized Haitian immigrant Abner Louima with a toilet plunger while saying, "This isn't Dinkins time; it's Giuliani time!"?
