Giuliani Backs Out Of January 6th Meeting After He's Told He Can't Record It

Rudy Giuliani is running scared. He was supposed to sit for an interview with the January 6th Committee on Friday, but backed out at the last minute after he was told that he wasn't allowed to record the meeting. A subpoena was issued for Giuliani all the way back in January, and his team claims they are still negotiating the terms of his interview, even after the cancellation. Farron Cousins explains why the Committee shouldn't even bother negotiating with Giuliani, and should force him to comply.

Rudy Giuliani was set to appear in front of the January 6th committee Friday. So two days ago, Giuliani was supposed to be sitting down with them finally and telling everything he knows, but the reason you didn't see any kind of news headlines about Giuliani speaking with the committee is because on Thursday, he decided that he wasn't gonna go in spite of the fact that he has been subpoenaed according to a spokesperson, Tim Moy for the January 6th committee, uh, Mr. Giuliani decided to back out at the last minute, because he was told he was not allowed to record the meeting.

Hmm. So Giuliani has been subpoenaed. He was subpoenaed by the way back in January. So we're talking about four months ago, this guy was subpoenaed reports have said that his legal team, along with him have been working with the committee, trying to hammer out the details about, you know, what can, can not happen for Giuliani to come in. Of course, the committee has conceded so many points on Giuliani getting him to come in. So they finally had an agreement and Giuliani decides at the last minute, which according to Mo was not a part of the agreement. I wanna film the thing. Maybe film record. I don't know what kind of recording you want to do. Maybe just audio and the committee was obviously not going to allow that. So that's that. Now they gotta go back to negotiations and try to figure out better terms for Giuliani to come and sit down.

And to that, I say, why you shouldn't have seated any ground to him whatsoever. You subpoenaed him back in January. There should not have been any sit down negotiations. He was issued a subpoena. You don't get to negotiate a subpoena, you comply with it. Or you go to jail. Those are the two options when you have a subpoena in your name, but the committee decided to be nice to him. The committee decided, okay, you know what? We'll humor. You, you know what? We'll bow to you. We'll give you whatever you need for four Fri months. Only for him to pull out at the last minute, because he has other demands that the committee would not meet now to be perfectly fair here. I understand why Giuliani would in fact, want to record this, to make sure that if any leaks came out, he would have his, you know, version of it, not version, but he would have the whole thing. And he could say, Hey, listen, this was outta context. Here's the clip. But at the same time, I understand why the committee would not want him to have that tape because then he could go out, chop it up, obviously misconstrue things, take them out of context. And uh, you know, then claim, oh, look at this. This is what they were saying. And the committee wouldn't necessarily be able to release something that would, you know, refute what Mr.

Giuliani was trying to say there. But again, you were subpoenaed in January. You have had four months to comply. I don't know why the committee is sitting and waiting on this. You need to refer this for criminal charges immediately, but unfortunately Giuliani holds all the cards in that scenario. Doesn't he? Because merit Garland is a worthless piece of crap. I mean, Garland has been sitting on that contempt charge for Mark Meadows since December it's, may, we're a, of the month of may folks and Meadows has not been charged with anything. So unfortunately, because of Merick, Garland's ineptitude, Rudy Giuliani unfortunately holds all of the cards right now. And that's why he's able to make demands and set the terms for whether or not he's going to appear.
