Question:

How would you feel if your attorney goes on TV and says that he has dirt on you and that he might use it?

[leftieNanner]

1. Answer: This is Trump

It's just another day at the office.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. but you are directing that question to sane people.

[bluestarone]

3. Sounds like the first one we should use

INHERENT CONTEMPT on

[jberryhill]

4. What does he then go on to say?

[DFW]

5. He might check to see if those insurance premiums are paid up and current

Just about everyone else found they need them.

6. is rudy extorting trump?

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. that's what it sounds like to me...

[spanone]

13. after being trump's mayor, no telling what rudy has on him

[patricia92243]

15. I hadn't thought of that. Good pointing that out!

[BuffaloJackalope]

7. It's wrong that a private citizens should be blackmailing our President.

Congress, the FBI & the Secret Service should be questioning him.

18. I agree.

Trump or not, this is playing limbo and setting the bar even lower.

He should be under investigation for that, as well as other matters.

So, what is stopping that? If we did something, it would be under investigation immediately. I doubt if the the authorities would be just ignoring it or kind of wondering, well, hmmm, should we?

This double-standard of law and justice is getting to be unnerving. We could assume that there are two tiers, but it is now standing out like a sore thumb and risks influencing confidence in the system. Is that the point?

21. It's also wrong that a President is in a blackmailable position

This is why we usually vet people for higher office.

[crickets]

23. +1

[Buckeyeblue]

8. Rudy has the pee pee tape? Wouldn't that be rich?

He goes to Ukraine to find dirt on Biden but instead finds the per pee tape. I can just see that toothy smile spreading across his face as he says, "Well, well, well!"

[Maine-i-acs]

9. This is the way guilty people speak. think about it

if all was on the level:
nobody could throw anyone under the bus
nobody would need insurance against being thrown under the bus

there's room under the bus for all the guilty people. better yet turn the bus into a paddy wagon and LOCK THEM UP

10. If you listen carefully it actually sounds like he is joking. he ends with "this is ridiculous."

[AnotherMother4Peace]

19. Giuliani said something very similar about a week ago - I doubt that he's joking. nt

[Mike Nelson]

11. Here is his master's insurance...

... Trump fans will either not care, or assume it's all lies. The Donald would not hesitate to drop and smear Rudy, if necessary.

[struggle4progress]

14. "We're joined at the hip forever so long as either of us is still alive!

So now the only other thing I've got to worry about is him gunning me down somewhere along Fifth Avenue!"

[BigmanPigman]

20. If the fucking moron shot him, or Mitch or Lindsey,

on 5th Ave would anybody care besides the GOP?

[Takket]

16. that certainly sounds like the kind of thing an honorable, law-abiding completely innocent man would

say.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

17. Giuliani said something similar about a week ago:

"But when a reporter asked Giuliani if he was concerned that Trump could “throw him under a bus,” Giuliani replied cryptically. “I’m not, but I do have very, very good insurance, so if he does, all my hospital bills will be paid,” Giuliani quipped."

22. Possibly a joke but doesn't he look really weird?

Puffy. His face doesn’t move much. His eyes are smaller in that expanse and don’t widen as much. Botox? Bender?
