Yes, and tonight he said anyone that had an id, could cross the southern border, and it shouldn’t take more than a few hours to give out the id’s.

In short all of south and central America could apply for an id and move here.

But, but, cry, sob and moan Rudolph William Louis Giuliani
cleaned up New York City.

Do I really need a /S ?

Attorney-client privilege isn’t breaking news. Am I missing something?

sigh...look, the guy's been on SNL in drag. His personal life has been documented in NYC tabloids for years.

He may be curious, but I don't think he's a liar.

This comes from the “no $h!t” department. It’s not a lawyer’s call as to whether he can divulge his client’s name - it’s the client’s call. If he breaks a confidentiality agreement, he can be sued.

He is a good lawyer. He is acting professionally. Big freeking deal.

And your tax returns are private as well as whether you wear boxers or briefs. But when you run for President.....

Then you can be asked to open your records. You don't have the right to reveal other folks' records if they understood them to be confidential.

Say I hire a lawyer. That lawyer later runs for office. I don't see how that gives anyone the license to throw my dirty laundry out in the street.

'defended his work with such entities such as the government of Qatar and Citgo Petroleum Corp., the company controlled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's government.'

Looking forward to Hugo's comments on Rudy. Y'all know how much eh likes to share.

[Fred]

No one is asking, 'the great expert in suing the federal government', Giuliani, to give every bit of documentation on his clients, all that was asked for was WHO ARE THEY? Not a big deal unless Rudy has something to hide.

Even the mayor of Las Vegas publicized his list of clients and they are the FRIGGIN MOB!

[aShepard]

Yeah, Confidentially Agreements!

And your point is??

80% of business is conducted under legal confidentially agreements.

Hey, we’re not talking like under the rules of the CIA; FBI; State Department; House of Reps; Senate; or any other government agency, who “unknown sources” can blab secrets at will:

Here we’re talking about real legal obligations where a discloser has the chance to have his balls cut off in court!

[sheik yerbouty]

I believe Rudy told the emir to put his money up the effendi’s nether passage..

[Fred]

Ok, so we agree Giuliani,’Mister Tort Reform’, has something to hide.

Thank you for that wonderfully extraneous statement, since no one is asking Rudy to do any such thing.
