It doesn’t matter what Rudy Giuliani says he’s going to do, or whether he can be “trusted.” If Rudy now understands he’s going to prison, he’ll give up Trump. If Rudy still delusionally thinks he’ll get away with it all, he won’t give up Trump. Simple as that, no other factors.

"But Rudy went on TV and said..."

Irrelevant.

"But Rudy will never [blank] no matter what..."

Not how anything works.

"But Rudy is just playing games!"

Sure, if he still delusionally thinks playing games will magically keep him out of prison.

If Rudy now understands he's going to prison, he knows full well that he has to flip, and that if he plays games it won't work out for him.

The average 5th grader understands how this stuff works, but the average political activist does not. That's because they spend every day listening to political pundits spewing pulse pounding gibberish that has no connection to reality.

Because the media has given virtually zero coverage to the very public fact that the courts recently gave the DOJ most of the communications they tried to sieze during the long-ago Rudy raid, most of you don't even know he's on the verge of indictment.

Yes, the raid of Rudy's home has taken this long to finally result in the DOJ being allowed to have the evidence, and no, the DOJ was not at fault for the delay (blame the courts). It's how things work.

When you hear pundits insisting the DOJ is doing "nothing" about Giuliani because it hasn't even indicted him yet in the original dirty foreign money case, the pundits are omitting the fact that the DOJ just now received the seized evidence from the court appointed special master

Rudy is likely a long way away from being indicted for 1/6 and election fraud. But he's likely near indictment for the original dirty foreign money case, which by itself is enough to put him in prison for his life. If Rudy is mentally competent, he understands this.

But as we've seen time and again, Rudy is only partly mentally competent at best. He used to strategically make up fake scandals. Now he believes his own fake scandals are true. He's in bad, bad cognitive shape.

Yet the pundits still want us to believe that a mostly senile Rudy is carrying out some secret evil genius plan to play both sides that's going to allow him to magically get away with it all.

This kind of pundit analysis is every bit as senile as Rudy is.

But since most pundits spend every day repeating that everyone in Trump world is carrying out an unspecified secret evil genius plan to magically get away with it all... if you listen to that laugh out loud gibberish long enough and you just start to believe it must be true.

Then these same pundits then brainwash you into believing that you're only being "vigilant" if you sit there every day staring at their doomsday prophecies. Anyone who dares to factually explain how Trump world is falling apart, gets branded as "not vigilant."

When Meadows cooperated and then stopped, every pundit said Meadows had won and the committee had lost.

But in reality, Meadows destroyed himself (and damaged Trump). He turned over key Trump wold evidence to get the ball rolling, and he'll be indicted anyway.

So even if Rudy is trying to "play" the committee, it'll be the same result. He must have given up key evidence to get the committee to even say he's cooperating. Now the committee has that evidence. And if Rudy breaks it off, he goes down for contempt and everything else.

But most pundits have figured out that the easiest way to get retweets and MSNBC/CNN bookings is to insist the 1.6 committee is losing and Trump world will get away with it all, so that's what they spew every single day – even though in most instances it's obviously fiction.
