rudy giuliani, one of the things he keeps saying, he claims it s a joke, that he has an insurance policy in case the president turns on him. he says he s being sarcastic but it is kind of weird. right? it does raise a bunch of questions. what is going on here? it s very strange. the first time he said it, maybe it was a joke and then he kept repeating it. if he actually means that he has derogatory information about the president that is so improper on so many levels. it is unethical as a lawyer to say something like that. it could mean real trouble for the president in terms of his criminal liability. it is so bad on so many fronts, i don t know why he keeps saying that. maybe someday we ll see what he means with this insurance policy if this goes far enough. if it is a joke, it s not a very good one. how quickly are investigators working?
it tells us that it is quite broad and that they are exploring a range of potential criminal charges. all we know to date, before the subpoena, was that they returned to campaign finance violations. now we know they are considering wire fraud, obstruction of justice, lying to investigators. there s a lot that we don t know. this does show us that there is a very broad investigation and it could include a range of criminal conduct. and where does rudy giuliani fit into that? it s interesting. this subpoena is requesting from the person that received it any communications. but it is also asking for any communications with rudolph giuliani, his security consulting business giuliani partners, and it asks for any communications or records about any actions or potential payments to jue or any agreements relaigt to that. so they re looking at the money flow, the business relationship between all of these men. his name is all over it. what did they have to say?
relationship that they re poking around in. so president trump keeps and tolling rudolph giuliani s virtues as a crime fighter. reflect for a moment if you will, the epic journey of rudy giuliani from u.s. attorney to mayor to now friend of lev and igor. there are former u.s. attorneys who have been prosecuted in the past, very, very rarely but never by the office that they used to lead. let s be clear. he is not accused of anything. this is certainly an unusual he s always two-term mayor of new york city. a person who led the polls for the republican presidential primary for some time. didn t win but this was a major figure.
guarantee has done, and prosecutors have asked individuals who were approached with this deal for any communications and information about this. so you can tell that they re really digging into this, and it may not be the only business relationship that they re poking around on. so president trump, jeffrey, keeps on extolling rudy giuliani s virtues as a crime fighter in his long career. reflect for a moment, if you will, on the epic journey of rudy giuliani from u.s. attorney to mayor to now friend of lev and igor. u.s. attorney in the southern district of new york which is issues these subpoenas about him. there are former u.s. attorneys who have been prosecuted in the past, very, very rarely, but never, as far as i m aware, by the office that they used to lead. let s again be clear. he is not accused of anything, and he certainly may never be. but this is certainly an unusual
his attorney robert costello, a criminal defense lawyer, he gave us a statement where he said i did not receive any documents from giuliani or giuliani partners. it would not be surprising given that two of the individuals had a relationship with giuliani or giuliani partners. all the sdny had to do was asked us and we would have given them whatever they wanted because mayor giuliani has nothing to hide and did everything in a proper and legal way. so he is saying they haven t heard from the prosecutor s office and no subpoenas or voluntary requests for information. all right. stand by. jeffrey, his name, rudolph giuliani, is all over this subpoena. how worried should he be? well, to be fair, it is important to point out a subpoena is very far from an indictment. so he is not charged with anything. and he certainly may never be. but as the judge i used to clerk for liked to say, they don t
