3:41Now PlayingRudy Giuliani is out with a new conspiracy theory about Donald Trump's classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, and he told Steve Bannon this week that the whole thing was a setup to distract from Biden's document scandal. In order for that be the case, the FBI would have actually had to travel back in time, as Biden's documents weren't discovered until two months AFTER the FBI had to visit Trump's residence. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses the weird ways that Giuliani somehow keeps getting dumber.

Well, Rudy Giuliani in an interview with Steve Bannon this week has unleashed a new wild conspiracy theory that whether Giuliani knows this is what he's getting at or not involves time travel. Here is what Giuliani had to say in this interview with Steve Bannon. I believe they created it as a raid in order to make it look criminal because they knew they had a problem with Biden. This is a setup. It was a setup to try to offset what they knew would eventually come out. And it has no defense. People around Biden would've had to know that he had this classified material. A lot of people knew about it. So the chances that this would come out were pretty darn strong. So of course he is referring to the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago, which wasn't a raid, it was a legal, um, you know, search with a search warrant cuz Trump didn't comply and then his lawyers lied to the, uh, federal authorities about it.
So it's not a raid so much as it is a typical legal procedure. Second of all, in order for Giuliani's new conspiracy theory to be true, which to just distill it, is that the only reason the f b I had to go to Mar-a-Lago was because Biden also had classified documents. So in order for that to be true, we would have to accept that time travel is in fact real. And here's why, because Giuliani claims like everybody knew that Biden had these things. That's a lie. That is a flat out lie, Rudy, because nobody knew that these were in Biden's possession until October. And then more were found in November. Trump was rated on August 6th, so nobody knew the Biden stuff existed until October.
But the FBI raid Trump in August because they knew that the Biden document scandal was gonna break two months into the future. So again, we're only left to assume that this means that the F B I is capable of time travel. So after they found more documents in Biden's possession in November, that apparently is when the F FBI decided, ah, crap, we gotta do something. Hey, we got the time machine. Let's go back and raid Mar-a-Lago. Let's just, uh, August 6th. That worked for everybody, all right into the time machine. Here we go. That is what would have to be real in order for Giuliani's conspiracy theory to hold any water at all. Or he's just flat out lying to make Donald Trump look bad. Which also makes no sense because Rudy, last we heard, he didn't even pay you for your legal services and stopped returning your calls when you were calling to get your bills paid. So why are you still defending him? Like,
Why are you sticking up for him? He's screwed you over, he's gotten you involved in a lot of legal problems, and yet you're still right there carrying water for the guy pushing these new time travel conspiracy theories about the FBI trying to protect President Biden. None of it makes any sense, but I guess that's just politics in 2023 now, isn't it?
