I disagree with the idea of not booking Guiliani on news shows.

Every time he opens his mouth he strengthens the case for impeachment. Also he weakens any excuse for not having to testify before Congress.
Yes he should be fact checked in real time. But let him talk. Bring it, Rudy!

And every time he talks, he's going to drop some pearl that will further implicate Trump.

for giving these people as much rope as they would like. I think that has been a real saving grace about this.

It is like opening a package of instant, freeze dried, microwavable impeachment, etc.

Go, Rudy Gadget, Go!

And yes, fact checking in real time would help as well as equal time. It lubricates the self-screwing.

Getting steamrolled by Giuliani's steady stream of lying is double plus ungood. Anyone who books him for a segment needs to be ready with the facts and prepared to interrupt him. Otherwise, they're just giving him a free run in an open field.

“former Senator” Linds, and he’s dragging Barr and Pompeo into the brawl, and I cannot WAIT to see which way LOSER45 jumps here!!! Does he ditch Roody for them, or does he back Roody and ditch Graham, Pompeo and Barr??!?

I dunno, but let the idiot yammer away!!!

They may believe that this is hurting Biden's chances of winning the nomination.
