Giuliani Refuses To Roll On Republican Lawmakers Who Aided Trump's Coup

Rudy Giuliani recently sat for several hours' worth of depositions with the January 6th Committee where he refused to give up the names and level of involvement of the Republican lawmakers who were in on the plan to overthrow the 2020 election results. Perhaps there is still a little bit of honor among "thieves," but that isn't likely to stop the committee from uncovering all of the rats in their presence.

So last week, Rudy Giuliani finally sat down virtually with the January 6th select committee for a closed door meeting that the committee has been trying to make happen for quite some time. Now, Juliani had been trying to put this off. He had, you know, allegedly been working with the committee to come up with the terms under which he would finally sit down and talk to them. Well, I guess they came to an agreement this past week. He did sit down and apparently he showed us that there is in fact still some on or among thieves because he refused to talk about the involvement of congressional Republicans in the plot to overthrow the 20, 20 election. He would not talk about the names. He wouldn't mention the individuals. He wouldn't talk about how deeply they were involved. He wouldn't even talk about who was at the meetings.

So that's unfortunate, right? But as the committee says is pretty much what they expected, right? They had kind of already told him they weren't gonna make him do anything, you know, to violate any kind of privilege he may have had, which he doesn't have any. So that was kind of a stupid thing for the committee to go ahead and say, but I think at the end, it really doesn't matter because even if they don't get it from Giuliani, they've already gotten it mostly from their own documents. Like they know to a degree which lawmakers were involved. They may not have all the names, but eventually somebody's gonna squeal. But Hey, Rudy, Giuliani, man, all those years taken on the mob, apparently he learned a thing or two from him. And he's no squealer, except of course, for the one person, he totally ratted out.in these, uh, in this little sit down.

And that was of course, Sydney Powell, according to a report from the guardian Giuliani spoke at length about Sidney Powell's involvement and how she had a direct meeting with Donald Trump and then said, you gotta use the resources of the government to go out and confiscate all these voting machines. And at that point, Juliani says, Hey, I stepped in and I said, pow, well, you get out, you're done. We don't watch you anymore. You bit loony. Maybe. I don't know if he said that he should have right. I mean, we wouldn't hold that against him if he did. But then he said he of course told Trump let's let's not go the Sydney Powell route. Right. GOCO. I think instead what we should do is we have Mike Pence, right? He's overseeing this whole thing on January 6th, cuz the meeting was of course prior to January 6th, let's have him just over overturn it. There let's have him throw out certain electors from certain states that were filled with fraud. Cuz I totally believe that there was all this fraud Giuliani says and I get to that in a minute. Cuz that is very important. So that's what Giuliani says. Like that was our plan. You know, Sidney Powell's over here with this extreme

Militant view and we're like, no, not happen in Sid. We're gonna just use the law to our advantage. Because again, Giuliani said he firmly believes that the election was in fact riddled with fraud and therefore stolen. Even though we all know it. Wasn't we read this from the guardian though, that kind of explains why Giuliani was adamant about explaining that he still believes the election was stolen. Here it is. Giuliani told the select committee that he disagreed with the justice department and that the evidence for election fraud was incontrovertible. The sources said seemingly making the case that his belief meant he could not have acted with criminal intent to obstruct Congress. Now I have talked about this before, but let me reiterate it just one more time for anybody who hasn't seen those older videos, legally speaking, if Donald Trump or somebody like Rudy Giuliani, if they can prove that they genuinely believed that there was enough fraud to overturn the election results, right.
