Astoundingly well written article Greg, I’ve followed along with LB, and a cast of others who have dug deeply into crime families, where the intractable ordure and dross that is Giuliani came from, but damn, this is an amazing indictment, thanks!!
I’ll have to look deeper into what I thought I knew...
Thank you, MaryPat. I think people intuitively know that he's full of crap, but it conflicts with the 9/11 memory. It's important to call him out. He's a bad, bad, bad actor.
As always, thank you for documenting all of Rudy's misdeeds in such a clear, concise manner. You've always been my go-to for all things with the ultimate "Maker of Myths," and have taught me a lot about him.
It was pretty great recently reading those Fox News text messages where they all dissed on Rudy and for good reason.
Thanks Rudy for giving Trump the idea to just call he won the election on election night and send our whole country in a further downward spiral.
Rudy really shined when he held his infamous Four Seasons Total Landscaping news conference (which was the icing on the cake after President Biden won).
On a side note, how are the Masked Singer judges going to walk off after seeing Rudy when they sit there night after night next to Jenny McCarthy (who in my eyes was one of the 1st, if not 1st, to bring the antivax movement in the spotlight).
Thanks, Sandy. Rudy has been in bed with unsavory characters for such a long time, any moral compass he may have once possessed is long gone. He should be remembered for Four Seasons, and for being a traitor.
Jenny McCarthy fell for an op, before most of us even realized ops like that were being run. Not recanting later is a big problem for sure, and I don't think I'd be inclined to share a stage with her, but what Rudy did is next level stuff, IMO. To make reality TV people do something like that really takes something off the charts awful, and Rudy is that.
Outstanding retrospective. Giuliani has been a piece of shit (and so too tRump) since the beginning. No surprise but puts details on the sad history, thanks.
The insanity plea won't work. They have to hope Mother Nature gets them before Jack Smith does. Which, given the slowness of the pace, may well be the case here.
Yes, yes, yes! If anyone is interested in more, I HIGHLY recommend the book Greg mentioned in this excellent piece, "Grand Illusion: The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11." I read the SHIT out of that book a few years ago and it is a damning indictment of what an absolute POS Rudy Giuliani is and has always been.
I'm waiting on watching, "When Truth Isn't Truth" until I can get the whole thing at once on Peacock. I started watching the first episode and even with a TiVo, the volume of commercials was an ONSLAUGHT of distractions -- too many, too often. I'd also rather wait than suffer through any sort of "cliffhangers" where Giuliani is concerned. "America's Mayor," my ass! America's National Disgrace would be a much more accurate epitaph. And where are the epitaphs anyway? WTF with these people living forever? Truly, only the good die young.
Thanks, Sossi. I forgot about that! But that's his personal life, and if more than one woman actually wants to live with that asshole, who am I to stop them? ; )
Good Lord, seems our “free press” has been worth what it costs for much of my life. I knew that he was a skanky dude from his “love life” while mayor but had no idea of the rest. And I thought I was “woke.” We all should be…
Prior to his clown-like allegiance to Trump, all I knew about Giuliani was his performance after September 11 and his very messy personal life. His current behavior makes more sense now after reading your excellent column.
Great information Greg. This reminded me about one of your Substack posts last year regarding Trump being a CI, and that’s why he has always escaped prosecution. If that’s true it makes me worry that he will escape again. Any new information or thoughts on that?
Thank you, Greg! I did not know Rudy’s seedy background as a child. So really, like Fake 45, his education being a complete sonofabitch began at birth. He seemed so capable when he was mayor at the time of 9/11 but these tidbits you revealed, shows just how he is despicable.
My memory will not let me forget Rudy’s hair dye slowly dripping down his face. Truly brings laughter.

Thanks, Patrick. That GRAND ILLUSION book was published not long after 9/11 but is pretty great, if you're looking for a deep dive.
"More importantly, the decapitation of the Five Families would allow the fledgling Russian mafiya to move into New York...1986."
Stunning report. Thank You. I had no idea. I bet most of America doesn't either. Sharing.
Thank you, MaryPat. I think people intuitively know that he's full of crap, but it conflicts with the 9/11 memory. It's important to call him out. He's a bad, bad, bad actor.
You are most welcome. Great piece. I still think most people, outside of New York anyway, don't know his Mob history. This explains so much.

Jenny may have been the first MAGAt, even before there was chump
Thank you for reporting on Rudy, he is and will forever be one of the most deceitful and despicable characters of my lifetime.

Thanks, Richard. Piece. Of. Shit.
Greg, thanks for this repeat on Rudy. As most info like this is not in the grasp of everyday folks trying to earn enough to buy beans and pay rent.
However its always been obvious to a number of folks that Rudy favored one crime family as he smashed their competetion.
Likely, Rudy's dad and uncle had him at 4 years of age memorizing the Blood Oath.
At this point Rudy and Donalds only hope for avoiding wearing Orange is to plead insanity.
Thanks, Cal.
The insanity plea won't work. They have to hope Mother Nature gets them before Jack Smith does. Which, given the slowness of the pace, may well be the case here.
Maybe Smiths pace is intentional?
Not knowing can drive some crazy.

I agree about the book. It's amazing. Rudy is so so SO awful. Just a garbage human.
I haven't started it yet, and may do the same with the binge. I've heard that it's very, very good.
Making deals with the devil adds years to your life, I guess. [cut to Rupert Murdoch nodding]
Rupert, the oldest and most vile of our billionaire traitors
How do you do it. Top to bottom perfect! Only one classless act you forgot. Two wives, living in the same house🤪
Thanks, Sossi. I forgot about that! But that's his personal life, and if more than one woman actually wants to live with that asshole, who am I to stop them? ; )
I remember
Word.
So isn’t the dye job🤪

Was CREEP member Rabbi Greenwald Glenn’s father? Also, it seems likely that Purdue Pharma paid Rudy in product.
