Jack Smith’s Team Grilled Witnesses About Rudy Giuliani’s Drinking
Rolling Stone ^ | August 29, 2023 | Asawin Suebesang

Posted on 08/29/2023 9:29:11 AM PDT by Alter Kaker

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office has repeatedly grilled witnesses about Rudy Giuliani’s drinking on and after election day, investigating whether Donald Trump was knowingly relying on an inebriated attorney while trying to overturn a presidential election.

In their questioning of multiple witnesses, Smith’s team of federal investigators have asked questions about how seemingly intoxicated Giuliani was during the weeks he was giving Trump advice on how to cling to power, according to a source who’s been in the room with Smith’s team, one witness’s attorney, and a third person familiar with the matter.

The special counsel’s team has also asked these witnesses if Trump had ever gossiped with them about Giuliani’s drinking habits, and if Trump had ever claimed Giuliani’s drinking impacted his decision making or judgment. Federal investigators have inquired about whether the then-president was warned, including after Election Night 2020, about Giuliani’s allegedly excessive drinking. They have also asked certain witnesses if Trump was told that the former New York mayor was giving him post-election legal and strategic advice while inebriated.

Somebody leaves an illegal drug, cocaine, stashed in the White House. That’s incredible! Yet there’s no real investigation. Nobody cares.

Yet the Special Council is super-interested in the drinking habits of a private citizen.

So, Smith is now trying to help Trump? Even Trump had to know that drunk Giuliani was bad news, but like his other picks, he chose badly. Giuliani hurt more that helped.

The Founding Fathers drink every day all day. This is just another DOJ witchhunt.

Smith wreaks of Islam. That’s why he’s Obamas boy. Peel the onion folks.

The country of America gained its independence from a bunch of men swapping beer and whiskey recipes. Really. That’s not a joke. Ingredients were scarce and lots of creative new items were instead added to the process. Then of course came the follow-up sampling and critique. A chamber of booze and commerce really.

Sorry. This is flimsy unnamed sources from the Rolling Stone.

Somewhat related, here is a link to Greg Kelly saying “Joe Biden has a big problem coming his way”. Kelly states there is a audio tape of ole moderate Joe Biden confirming his corruption and it will be released sometime in September or October. Very interesting to listen to Greg Kelly and watch the expressions on his face as he reports.

Reminds me of the Democrats incessant questioning of Brett Kavanaugh liking beer, and the word “boof” written on his high school calendar.

"Is there a federal law against having a lawyer who is an alcoholic?"

Nobody was concerned when Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge drunk, left a young woman to suffocate in a submerged vehicle, then hid for hours to avoid a breathalyzer test.

This is not news. Between election day and J6, much was made about a drunk old man, going thru another bitter divorce, dealing with a stolen election.

And having hair dye run down his face.

People drank wine, ale, and beer daily for centuries, because the water would make you sick. Anything fermented killed the bacteria and was safe to drink.

Monty Python - Bruces’ Philosophers Song

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel

There’s nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach ya
‘bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill

Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram

And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
“I drink, therefore I am.”

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he’s pissed

Thank goodness Smith didn't investigate Churchill.

This article is from Rolling Stone. You know, the same magazine that had to enhance Gore’s penis bulge in his photo on the front cover in 2000.

Enhance? They fabricated one as there was none.
