1. ‘I think the thing that distinguishes me on terrorism is, I have more experience dealing with it.’
And look who's here! Victoria Toensing, the DAAG at DOJ who filed a criminal complaint in the Lauro investigation, says that no one in
Giuliani’s office “was involved at all.”
2. ‘I don’t think there was anyplace in the country, including the federal government, that was as well prepared for that attack as New York City was in 2001.’
This assertion flies in the face of all three studies of the city’s response—the 9/11 Commission, the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST), and McKinsey & Co., the consulting firm hired by the Bloomberg administration.
3. Don’t blame me for 7 WTC, Rudy says
Chris Wallace confronted Giuliani, however, with a 1996 Hauer memo recommending that the bunker be sited at MetroTech in Brooklyn, close to where the Bloomberg administration eventually built one.
4. ‘Democrats do not understand the full nature and scope of the terrorist war against us.’
“Prior to 9/11, no elected official did enough to reduce the threat of Al Qaeda. Neither political party covered itself in glory.”
5. ‘Every effort was made by Mayor Giuliani and his staff to ensure the safety of all workers at Ground Zero.’
Sounds like he's on drugs #repmarksamsel was substitute teaching. Throughout the day students began recording videos of the lawmaker talking about suicide, sex, masturbation, God and the Bible.
In one video Samsel tells students about “a sophomore who’s tried killing himself 1/
three times,” adding that it was because “he has two parents and they’re both females.”
“He’s a foster kid. His alternatives in life were having no parents or foster care parents who are gay. How do you think I’m going to feel if he commits suicide? Awful.”

In another video Samsel is recorded telling students “make babies. Who likes making babies? That feels good, doesn’t it? Procreate. ... You haven’t masturbated? Don’t answer that question....God already knows.”
“You’re about ready to anger me and get the wrath of God. Do you

The FBI warned OANN, @SenRonJohnson and Giuliani in late 2019 that they were the target of a Russian influence operation aimed at circulating falsehoods intended to damage President Biden politically ahead of last year’s election.
Despite the alert, Giuliani went forward in Dec 2019 with a planned trip to Kyiv where he met with a Ukrainian lawmaker whom the U.S. government later labeled “an active Russian agent” and sanctioned on grounds he was running an “influence campaign” against Biden
Defensive briefings, like the one given to Johnson in Aug 2020, are given to people to alert them that they are being targeted by foreign governments for malign purposes, former officials said. But they’re also used “to see how they respond to that,” 😎
In a text message to The Daily Beast, Stone said that Greenberg had tried to hire him to assist with a pardon. He did confirm he had Greenberg prepare “a document explaining his prosecution.” thedailybeast.com/joel-greenberg…
Private messages between Greenberg and Stone were given to the DB. I guess Roger has a beef with Gaetz, or does Trump?
The letter, which The Daily Beast recently obtained, was written after Greenberg asked Roger Stone to help him secure a pardon from then-President Donald Trump.
“I hope you are prepared to wire me $250,000 because I am feeling confident,” Stone wrote to Greenberg on Jan. 13.
In the private text messages, Greenberg described his activities with Gaetz, repeatedly referring to the congressman by his initials, “MG,” or as “Matt.”
Unlike the slowdown of the Great Depression, which was a blip followed by a boom, the slowdown this time is part of a longer-term trend, tied to the aging of the country’s White population, decreased fertility rates and lagging immigration.
🚨After decades of not using a huge chunk of the Internet, the Pentagon has given control of millions of computer addresses to a previously unknown company in an effort to identify possible cyber vulnerabilities and threats @Redrum_of_Crows Global Resource Systems LLC, FL
Did someone at @DeptofDefense sell off part of the military’s vast collection of IP addresses as Trump left office? Had the Pentagon finally acted on demands to unload the billions of dollars worth of IP address space the military has been sitting on, largely unused, for decades?
The change is the handiwork of an elite Pentagon unit known as the Defense Digital Service, which reports directly to the secretary of defense. “This pilot will assess, evaluate and prevent unauthorized use of DoD IP address space. "
