On July 4, 2000, the late journalist Wayne Barrett published this chapter from his book, covering Rudy Giuliani’s family’s criminal history. Wonder if Rudy will someday be “sent up the river” to Sing Sing max security prison where his dad served time.

In 1934, at age 26, Harold Giuliani assaulted a milkman in a dark hallway, pulled down his pants, robbed and tied him up. A cop got him. He lied to the judge about his name, address, and age. His family had no money but a man paid his $5K bail, the victim changed his story.

Before he was committed to Sing Sing max security prison, Rudy Giuliani’s father Harold had a psychiatric exam. The report said he had “a personality deviate of the aggressive, egocentric type.” He was unable to process the perspectives or feelings of others.

After prison, Harold Giuliani made criminal threats and broke bones for a living, collecting debts owed to Rudy’s mafia Uncle Leo. Rudy’s dad terrorized everyone who did business with Leo and was known as the “muscle” of the crime family.

Uncle Leo’s sister was Rudy Giuliani’s mom. He was the family’s top Italian mobster who Rudy’s dad worked for and is described as a real thug by Wayne Barrett...

Rudy’s Uncle Leo may have been the biggest mafia thug of the family back then but Uncle Vincent the cop also ran into problems with the law...

While Rudy Giuliani helped Trump worsen a pandemic that’s overwhelmed American hospitals, Rudy’s dad Harold was once involved in a scheme to steal money from a hospital. But don’t let his African American accomplice throw you off, Harold Giuliani was a big racist...

Rudy’s father Harold was a high school dropout but his mom Helen skipped two grades and graduated high school at 16. Harold used his criminal record to get out of serving in WWII, but he talked about the war over dinner with Helen who was fond of fellow Italian Mussolini...

Rudy later turned on the Italian mob, leading a young team of federal prosecutors who used RICO to take down 5 Italian mob families, as Rudy made himself famous. The Russian mob took over the turf when the Italians got locked up. They gave Rudy a lot of business since then.

Rudy proved he couldn’t win a run for President in 2008 but he could play a useful role for the Kremlin as it propped up his longtime Russian-mafia linked pal Donald Trump, with their pal (and Putin’s guy) Paul Manafort’s help.

Trump’s new campaign manager worked for Rudy.

Today is Giuliani and Trump’s anniversary of extorting a key U.S. ally to help Putin coverup his crimes against the U.S. and weaken Ukraine’s military, while trying to cheat in the 2020 election, which got Trump impeached. These mafia clowns continue to do lethal damage.
