Donald Trump dumps Rudy Giuliani as his personal lawyer on the day they are both sued by congressman accused of causing MAGA riot under anti-KKK law
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 16 2021 | GEOFF EARLE

Former President Donald Trump is no longer being represented by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the former president's office revealed on a day both men were sued by a House Democratic lawmaker under the Reconstruction-era Ku Klux Klan Act over the Capitol riot.

Giuliani led Trump's failed effort to overturn the election results in states Trump lost, and traveled the country to make the case for 'massive fraud' – traveling even after contracting COVID-19 following a visit to the White House.

He also led his own effort to dig up dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter in Ukraine.

I went on a date with the President of a local NAACP chapter. He told me that membership is declining and the younger people aren’t interested.

Lower membership means lower dues paid.

I suspect they’re looking for easy money.

......if a congressman could sue a President, then a president should be able to sue congressmen/women.
.........Trump should get his hands on congressional papers prior to the “riot”..........

TAXPAYERS DEMAND A 911-TYPE INVESTIGATION INTO SPEAKER PELOSI’S ACTIVITIES ON JAN 6.
TAXPAYERS DEMAND PELOSI GIVE ANSWERS AS TO WHY SHE DID NOT PROTECT OUR HOUSE ON JAN 6.
<><> ** What conversations did she or her staff give Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving specific to January 6th?
<><> ** What response did Pelosi give tax-paid security officials when tax-paid National Guard support was initially requested?
<><> ** Why is Pelosi Refusing to Turn Over tax-paid Official Public Documents WRT US Capitol Security?
<><> ** Why are tax-paid House Officers refusing to turn over tax-paid documents relevant to that day?

Representatives Jim Jordan (R-OH), Devin Nunes (R-CA), Rodney Davis (R-IL) and James Comer (R-KY)
are asking Speaker Pelosi to explain her decision to deny tax-paid National Guard support on January 4th.

“Giuliani led Trump’s failed effort to overturn the election results in states Trump lost”

Curious but not unexpected choice of words. I thought the goal was to uncover voter fraud that ultimately led to the inauguration of an unqualified, unelected, anti-American swamp dweller.

Rudy Guiliani was a brilliant DA and an even better mayor. But that was a long time ago.

Not surprising. I doubt most young black people even know what the NAACP is.

Good luck with this lawsuit. Pelosi controls the Capital cops, not Trump. Trump also wanted the National Guard deployed, and democraps denied it. FBI knew that there was going to be problems long before this. Time to sue Nazi Pelosi and Schmuck Schumers phone records from Nov 3rd - Jan 6th as well as to look into all the Antifa players and why they were not held for their role.

Any significance to this Act of 1871 and another Act of 1871? That was a busy year.

I don’t get it. I watched the videos and there were many people in the crowd who were Latin American and Asian and a few Blacks. So why are the Democrats turning this into a race issue? Are they trying to create another racial civil war?

With Trump gone, the rats need an enemy to focus their hate. What could be better than 75 million people who you can continuously investigate, dehumanize, and destroy to help keep your rat base focused.

Well of course they did, because they helped instigate it.

"Rudy Guiliani was a brilliant DA and an even better mayor. But that was a long time ago."

True, but don't discount the possibility Guiliani asked to be released. Both of them need a season's rest before coming out swinging. Releasing Rudy gives Trump a 'non-position' going forward, for lack of a better word.

In steep contast, Rudy is the force majeure in the Hunter Biden prosecution, having received John Paul's copy of Crackxead's hard drive revealing every detail Hunter's billion-dollar grifting from the Ukraine and Xi/CCP/PLA.

And to make a side-point -- Rudy's regular trips to Bannon have revealed this much -- Rudy knows, literally knows and has the receipts of, more than enough to bring down Xiden right. this. second.

Trump doesn't need that particular anti-Xiden tie-in this moment, not until it becomes useful when Nancy attempts to 25A Xiden, and then Trump-viz-Rudy may pounce or further down the road; but there is no doubt in my mind Rudy has shared the contents with Trump and we are all in a waiting game for the moment.

So enjoy my FRiend, Geek! Slante!

The DC mayor was trying to get approval to move the National Guard troops for which she had already gained authority for use in downtown security and traffic control. They could not be moved to the Federal ground until the Pentagon had sign off by 2 top level Administration people. Apparently this was something that President Trump had put in place a little earlier. Mayor Bowser also arranged for NG sent by VA and MD governors to be set up in the DC Armory until the Pentagon release for use at the Capitol was approved. Pelosi had nothing to do with making this happen or not happen. Leadership of the Senate and House did have authority with the Capitol Police. Somebody messed up royally there. Why have 2 Capitol Police committed suicide?

They were in on it.

I can't get a firm number of USCP officers under investigation for aiding and abetting these protestor tours, but it is at least 12 and maybe as many as 20.

This link by Military Times gives more details on the slow roll out of the National Guard troops. It took a number of hours from getting top level Administration/Military sign-off, set up at the DC Armory, and then movement to Capitol Hill in time for the 6 pm curfew the Mayor had decreed. What time did the Republicans at the Capitol call President Trump and ask for aid as rioters were screaming “hang Pence”, had already broken windows to get in, etc.

I don’t know where you get that. Bowser claimed she turned down NG because she thought the police had it covered. The Capitol police chief requested NG and it was denied by the Sgt of Arms because of “optics”. Since the SoA workers directly for Pelosi either she gave the order or the SoA got a new frou frou vocabulary.

President Trump had no control over the Capitol. Remember the screaming that went on when he called in the NG when the WH was under seige? Pelosi was in charge, she either was in over her head or got the precise outcome she wanted.

Seems to be a pattern here:

1) Elites and Leftists engage in horrible behavior.

2) Since they are Elites and Leftists there is never any movement to go after them on it.

3) The accuse Trump of the same thing they do.

4) They start a movement about how the activity is horrible and should not be tolerated.

5) They fail to prove their case against Trump.

6) The movement boomerangs on the Leftists and Elites who are actually guilty of it and finally they face some consequences.

For the "Me-too" movement this has gone through all 6 steps. For the anti-political violence movement we are on step 5, hopefully step 6 is next.
