President Trump’s personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani was paid $500,000 last year by a company founded by one of his business associates who was arrested last week and charged with campaign finance violations.

Giuliani told The Washington Post late Monday that he was confident the money he received for work conducted on behalf of the Florida-based business called Fraud Guarantee, which was c-founded by Lev Parnas, was legitimate and originated in the United States.

“I know exactly where the money came from. I knew it at the time,” he said. “I will prove beyond any doubt it came from the United States of America.”

Maybe you need to have a chat with your former partner....

The controversial New York City police commissioner and New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Son shares the story of his fall from grace and the effects of his incarceration on his views of the American justice system.

Bernard Kerik was New York City’s police commissioner during the 9/11 attacks, and became an American hero as he led the NYPD through rescue and recovery efforts of the World Trade Center. His résumé as a public servant is long and storied, and includes receiving a Medal of Honor. In 2004, Kerik was nominated by George W. Bush to head the Department of Homeland Security.

Now, he is a former Federal Prison Inmate known as #84888-054.

5. Rudy knows about that money. "I knew it at the time." says Rudy Giuliani

Say it ain't so Rudy Giuliani. Say it ain't so.

6. This means that someone has stepped up

to clean the money trail for him.

Time to seize all of the bank records to prove it is laundered money from either Russia or Ukraine.

7. Did his soon-to-be ex-wife's lawyer know about that money?

8. Giuliani is acting like a dipshit on purpose. The money came from Russia

Giuliani's bagmen were indicted for funneling dirty money through an "unnamed Russian national".

Of course Giuliani isn't going to admit the money is dirty, but the idea anyone is supposed to buy his bullshit is either an incredible display of hubris or dipshittery.
