We are all familiar with the egoist: the constant self promotion; the clawing efforts to be first in everything; the stepping over of everyone in their path to the top spot; the inability to see another viewpoint; the insistence that their way is the best and ONLY way; and a will to play fast and loose with protocol, rules, and the law. Rudy has been a fixture in American politics for decades as Attorney General, as Mayor of New York City, and a candidate for the U.S. Senate(losing to Hillary Clinton). In 2002, after his high profile attendance to the events surrounding the destruction of the World Trade Center by Arab terrorists from Saudi Arabia, he formed a consulting firm-Giuliania Assoc. to offer services both domestical and international clients seeking access to high levels of political operatives. His connections with Pres. George Bush catapulted Rudy to the scene of Washington, D.C., a landscape he already knew well. From there, it was easy to step into the world of his friend, Donald Trump.
During the campaign for president by Trump in 2016, Rudy was recruited to perform duties for the Trump campaign involving activities in Ukraine. As an unofficial representative of then candidate Trump, Rudy's actions remained under the radar of official scrutiny until now. As the impeachment hearings in the House of Representatives have shown, Rudy is involved up to his neck.
This week, the Justice dept. has issued subpoenas seeking documents related to Giuliani Partners and actual or potential payments to Giuliani Partners. The subpoenas also sought information from two groups: America First Action and America First Policies, two pro Trump groups. A spokesperson for the groups, contacted the U.S.Attorney's office in Manhattan and offered to cooperate.
Mr. Giuliani says he welcomes the opportunity to discuss the events mentioned and claims not to have engaged in any wrongdoing.
We'll see. Stay tuned.
