Rudy Insurance Thread 1/

America's Vampire, the notorious serial butt-dialer and former attorney, Rudy Colludy once threatened the sitting US President with his 'insurance' files. Giuliani clearly thought Trump fears his evidence. Let's explore this 'tremendous' legal gambit

Yesterday, Friday the retired judge who was acting as 'Special Master' finished reviewing files that FBI took from Giuliani raiding his office last April. Near 28,000 files, text messages, emails, pics, videos & sound files were handed to Fed prosecutors

Like when same Special Master finished reviewing the files FBI took from raid of Trump attorney Michael Cohen's office, we can now expect Rudy Giuliani arrest is imminent

We know he'd committed a slew of crimes, he's even been confessing to many of them

Can Rudy escape prison by bargaining with his notorious 'insurance' file? Ah... that is where this gets interesting

A normal criminal could well perhaps manage to do that. Negotiate a deal, and use the evidence in that bargaining. But not Giuliani

Rudy Insurance Thread 5/

The NORMAL criminal negotiates with prosecutors, telling them in a 'proffer' session what kinds of crimes the perp can confess to, & specifically, who else they can implicate as partners in that crime. It only really works if they can give someone 'big'

Rudy Insurance Thread 6/

In those negotiations typically the perp enter into a deal with prosecutors, then go through often weeks, even months of reviewing the evidence the perp has, that can perhaps be used to convict the bigger criminal/s. Not with Rudy though...

Rudy had a MAGNIFICENT evidence file as his evidence, not just against Trump, but other Trumpomobsters, like Pompeo, probably Bill Barr, most def at least some of Trump kids, and Jared. Plus misc mid level Trumpocrooks like Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman etc

But Giuliani lost all LEVERAGE when the FBI took the evidence in the raid of Rudy's office. Oopsie. Now Rudy cannot 'deliver' any evidence. Worse. Rudy did not know, he was under wiretap. Therefore most of his co-criminals are ALSO ALREADY CAUGHT on tape

Rudy Insurance Thread 9/

Suddenly Giuliani's 'insurance' files, that were potentially as powerful as those of Lev Parnas, became worthless, because of the FBI raid of Giuliani, exactly like how it happened with.. Lev Parnas

Rudy is SCREWED

Rudy Insurance Thread 10/

The ONLY leverage Rudy has left, is to promise to testify that yes, that was Rudy talking to Trump that day in November on the phone (that was wiretapped) or this email is yes after a discussion in person with Trump, etc.

Is nearly only TRIVIAL VALUE

Rudy had 18 devices. His evidence went back 13 years. It is not just all of Trump Ukraine crimes, it is Rudy's own side show with Putin's boy Firtash, the Ukrainian Mafioso and oligarch. Then Rudy Big Lie. Then Rudy Jan 6th planning & Willard Hotel

Rudy Insurance Thread 12/

Remember, the Feds have now Giuliani's involvement in DOZENS of crimes, and tons of incriminating evidence not just about Rudy, but the OTHER criminals involved in the various schemes. Expect MANY indictments to follow from this treasure trove

Rudy Insurance Thread 13/

If Giuliani had been able to hold onto these files (in secret from FBI) then he could shield some of his criminal pals, or extort them, or use that info to negotiate deals with Feds. Now Rudy lost all his leverage

...but the good guys have the evidence
