Giuliani attacks foes, claims again to have 'insurance' to keep Trump loyal
Source: NBC News
President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani gave a wide-ranging interview on Saturday in which the former New York City mayor attacked numerous figures involved in the impeachment hearings and claimed for the second time to have "insurance" when questioned whether the president would remain loyal to him.
"I've seen things written like he's going to throw me under the bus," Giuliani said in an interview with Fox News' Ed Henry about the characterizations and comments made in the media about him and his relationship with the president. "When they say that, I say he isn't, but I have insurance."
"This is ridiculous," he added. "We are very good friends. He knows what I did was in order to defend him, not to dig up dirt on Biden."
Hours later, Giuliani claimed on Twitter that the insurance policy he was referring to consisted of "files in my safe" that allegedly show ways former Vice President Joe Biden's family had been "monetizing" his decades in office. These files would apparently become public if Giuliani were to "disappear," he said in the tweet.

Giuliani, Trumps personal lawyer, also described as sarcastic a statement he made recently about having an insurance policy should he fall out of favor with the president.

@RudyGiuliani
TRUTH ALERT:
The statement Ive made several times of having an insurance policy, if thrown under bus, is sarcastic & relates to the files in my safe about the Biden Familys 4 decade monetizing of his office.
If I disappear, it will appear immediately along with my RICO chart.
Without offering proof, Giuliani tweeted that he had files in my safe about the Biden Familys 4 decade monetizing of the former vice president and senators office. If I disappear, it will immediately appear.
Also on Saturday Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor, said on Twitter that the Mafia couldnt kill me so NO, I am not worried about the swamp press.

(18,882 posts)the last Trump lawyer who bragged about having secret evidence in his safe is behind bars right now. Maybe it's time for the FBI to make another 6:00 AM raid?

(9,426 posts)but wouldn't it be more beneficial for him to have the safe filled with tRump files? After all, if he gets thrown under the bus, the Biden info. would be useful to tRump (IF it exists) whereas the tRump info. could damage orange ass. Is Rudy tired of living, I wonder, tempting the gop in this way. If he has damaging info. on the Bidens, then why was he digging around in the Ukraine?? Oh, Rudy, of all people YOU should know the word "loyal" is not in tRump's vocabulary unless it applies to others being loyal to the great orange, bloated toad.

(9,010 posts)if they are trying to locate something in Ukraine that indicates Trump and his family (something along the lines of Manafort and the ledger) or maybe the "Biden" hunt is just a distraction for their con-games they are playing in Ukraine. The press needs to figure out what else this administration is doing over there.
SergeStorms
(18,882 posts)I hope Rudy's safe is filled with enough criminal evidence to put the entire Trump family away for two lifetimes. Nothing could make me happier. Literally nothing could make me happier.

(5,969 posts)Of course, the maggats will now say that there is definite proof and Rude has it.
He keeps it secret and by that protects Biden because...for reasons that make sense, I suppose.
Also, I don't think I need to say it but when you are talking about insurance more than once, it's pretty clear that the guy you work for is a criminal. It also reinforces your effort to make it clear that you don't want to be the fall guy. It's an admission of guilt and a warning to the people who participated in your crimes.

(10,110 posts)It's crazy talk. Biden isn't the real threat.
Trump has to consider a fall guy. I can't see anyone else to try except Rudy & Mulvaney.
Rudy very likely has great insurance: he could probably bring the Russia scandal down on Trump's head. But he probably couldn't do it without serving some time himself.
Mulvaney probably has dirt on Trump as well.
If Rudy is a concern to bring Trump down and removing him gives Trump a good chance to hang around, the guy that would worry me most is Putin. Rudy may have all kinds of sinister info about Putin but none of it will affect his security.

(8,864 posts)If he has evidence that the Biden's have committed 40 years of crimes
then I say, prove it.
If you want to show that the Biden's are a crime family then turn over
your documents to any district attorney to begin investigating.
I betting that the documents still have not be doctored enough to turn
over and when he does, it will be to the Senate for trial so that can make
it about Biden's "so called" crimes instead of Pendejo45's actual crimes.
paleotn
(17,778 posts)Why the Ukrainian investigation if you've already got "files"? Rudy...you're not making any sense....again.
JohnnyRingo
(18,581 posts)I think he originally meant he had dirt on Trump to protect his ass but decided to walk that back.
But by saying he has dirt on Biden that will become public if something happens to him, he's implying that the Bidens are corrupt like Mafioso and may try to kill him to stop his investigation. Quick thinking asshole.
lettucebe
(2,336 posts)No kidding, Trump will not only throw him under the bus (if his "insurance" is more dirt on Biden's son) but will get in the driver's seat (loves to pretend drive) and run over him then reverse a few times.
How would keeping this info be a deterrent to Trump? These people are beyond stoopid

(6,477 posts)"... claimed for the second time to have "insurance" when questioned

Loyal to HIM? I hope Twitler hears about this.
(We know he's not going to read it).
Wow, Ghoulliani is nutz to think Twitler would be loyal to anyone.
Nice life ya got there, Rudy... be a shame if anything happened to it.
Perseus
(4,341 posts)The "insurance" is just a message to the creature..."you throw me under the bus and I will make sure people know of all your bad deeds"...it is a threat, not a search for loyalty.
Talitha
(6,477 posts)Twitler acts like a mob-boss... so what does a mob boss do if/when an underling gives them a threat that's thinly veiled as a warning? Maybe it would help if I had seen any of the Godfather movies. One thing for sure, all of this crooked stuff makes me glad I'm just a poor little nobody.

(4,341 posts)They make it as him telling a joke, but now he has told it twice...It is definitely a warning, and like you said, blackmail.
Perseus
(4,341 posts)What a warning...trump must be asking Putin what to do with Giuliani.
Giuliani should turn the door knob to his house with gloves, then throw the gloves away in the fire or have them examined, he should hire a taster before drinking or eating anything, and also put all that "insurance" in writing where it can be found in case of fire..."Break Glass in Case of Fire".
Just let the creature know the "insurance" is well guarded, under supervision and ready to be taken out in case of any emergency.

(4,473 posts)Giuliani is saying, "If Trump throws me under the bus, I will give him evidence that he wants". That's not "insurance" to keep in Trump's good graces, that's an inducement to disown him.

woodsprite
(11,853 posts)After all, Im sure being a prosecutor in NY would give Rudy access to lots of mob info. And saying he has files to be released about Trumps cabal could be seen as blackmailing a president.

duforsure
(11,882 posts)... He's already talking to save himself from going to prison. He knows trump , and he'll try to set him up to take the fall for trump. I think Rudy has told House people trump's criminal activities, and why he hasn't already been arrested. He knows how it works, and knew what to do to save himself . He's talking before it's too late. He's scared of going to prison, plus he knows too much and could have a target on his back.
