Hal this is an unforced error or a nothingburger. With any luck, Rudy will start booking himself to go back on TV.

The shortsighted idiot is trying to get away with parking tickets and having some other old codger who fairly beat him to the mobility scooter chucked off it by the Secret Service. You should be thanking your stars he is a small-minded moron and not someone with actual vision married to his demagoguery.

If Warren would fade in the polls and Biden and Bernie would keel over and the Democrats would just not speak, aka not make any more unforced errors of their own, this next election would be a historic ass beating.

In fact, they can even say the same things. Just point at Barr/Giuliani and laugh while saying them, instead of the earnest Rome is burning stuff.

I mean do you have any doubt that this is going to make the Iowa Caucus look like a winning Formula 1 car in comparison?
true. Sometimes it’s best to just shut up and let the idiots do all the heavy lifting.

The crime of extortion wasn't among the allegations that Trump was charged with or tried for.

Not In the most recent impeachment effort, anyway.
Using the powers of his high office, President Trump solicited the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, in the 2020 United States Presidential election. He did so through a scheme or course of conduct that included soliciting the Government of Ukraine to publicly announce investigations that would benefit his reelection, harm the election prospects of a political opponent, and influence the 2020 United States Presidential election to his advantage.
2) With the same corrupt motives, President Trump—acting both directly and through his agents within and outside the United States Government–conditioned two official acts on the public announcements that he had requested—

(A) the release of $391 million of United 5 States taxpayer funds that Congress had appropriated on a bipartisan basis for the purpose of providing vital military and security assistance to Ukraine to oppose Russian aggression and which President Trump had ordered suspended; and

(B) a head of state meeting at the White House, which the President of Ukraine sought to demonstrate continued United States support for the Government of Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression.
Seems rather extortion-like.

ONE MORE TIME. Can I commit a crime, and escape punishment by running for president?

Giullianni is one of the only people whom Trump can trust. His administration's investigative services are full of swamp bureaucrats and Obama holdovers.

Whatever happens, Trump achieved what he set out to achieve- Biden is damaged goods, sinking in the polls.

At this point Rudy's seems to me a fool's errand, might backfire.
