WASHINGTON (AP) - Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani emerged as the favorite to serve as secretary of state in Donald Trump's incoming administration, a senior Trump official said as the president-elect narrowed down his Cabinet picks.
The official said there was no real competition for the job and that it was Giuliani's if he wanted it. The official was not authorized to speak on the record and requested anonymity.
Giuliani, a top Trump adviser, said Monday night at a Washington event sponsored by the Wall Street Journal that he "won't be attorney general" in Trump's administration - a job for which the former federal prosecutor had been seen as a top contender even before Trump's election.

i can see it. here is a practical fixer who is great under pressure. he needs to keep us from going to war first and foremost.
good. like it. hope it’s true.
YOU TUBE P I NEWS - DONALD TRUMP JUST ANNUNCED HIS PICK FR AG
YOU TUBE P I NEWS - DONALD TRUMP JUST ANNUNCED HIS PICK FR AG
Who knows what the truth is, certainly not the AP.
But Rudy would bring a special 9/11 perspective to our dealings with longtime terrorist supporting nations like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, not to mention Pakistan.
This article is not only not official, it is part of what appears to be a coordinated press/media propaganda and disinformation effort. Leftist Philadelphia newspapers on this story. Politico on another. It has been a steady drumbeat of lies ever since Trump was elected.
God bless you and yours.
Communism reaches far deeper than economy and culture. It’s a spiritual evil.
There’s McCarthy himself, and on the other hand there’s “McCarthyism.”
From what I’ve seen, the latter is a concept used only by the communists and by those vulnerable to communist propaganda.
McCarthy was simply fighting against the evil of communism, through cultural means not yet infested with that evil. McCarthy was an enemy of communism.
Communism didn’t invent conformism. Conformism can exist separate from evil. Communism cannot.
i hope and pray that retiring Justice Thomas can be talked into coming to work as AG for President Trump. he would be the best available.
I dont know. I know some are gonna be, well many are gonna be disappointed but I think he is going to be chosen as SOS.
I love him because he got us through 9/11 and is a man of great character and love of the country.
But I know as NYC mayor, he was certainly less than conservative. It’s not possible to be 100 percent conservative and win NYC.
Whatever happens, I wish him well and if it’s Bolton or Newt, I will be very happy.
I went WTF at this.
Rudy wants Sec of State, why? More fun for him?
It’s outside the box, maybe it’s not so crazy I don’t know, maybe it shouldn’t go to Bolton, the obvious choice who has coveted the job for years, does Bolton want it too much? Traditionally it gone to prominent politicians more than career diplomats.
The last 2 Secs of State, Shilly and Kerry, were not qualified and did a TERRIBLE job and we need to do a good job now.
I’ve been watching lib shows I’ve never/almost never seen before to drink their tears, all of them have mentioned Rudy, they call him an a-hole and then audience cheers WILDLY. It’s no shock they hate him but I don’t know when or (exactly) why Rudy became one of their least fav people, it seems like they hate him more than anyone other than Trump himself.
Justice Thomas is retiring???? Where the heck have I been?
All that fog needs to be drained, too. Maybe Rudy wants to do something new. He’s already done prosecution and law enforcement, as well as being an executive as Mayor. He’s been great in both roles. I’ll bet he’s just what Foggy Bottom needs. He gets a call in the middle of the night about an ambassador being assaulted at a consulate, he’ll get there ahead of the troops with guns blazing (OK. Maybe I’m exaggerating).
well i read it here somewhere a while back. false?
Thanks for the link.
i have to apologize for spreading a rumor. some searching reveals that his wife denied the rumor sometime back.
i still would love to see him in that position though, especially if he decides to retire.
No worries - but when I saw that I did a quick search and found this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3494331/posts
Something I had not heard about before the election. Geez - they can’t leave this poor guy alone!
Absolutely. Freaking. Brilliant.
I am giddy about this.
5D chess.
Preet Bharara would be a pit bull as AG.
I am sure Saudi Arabia agrees with you. ; )
Yeah, Trump could very well keep everyone guessing until January.>> i don’t think so. as he makes these decisions he is going to roll them out to dominate the news and i would get started making pressers and actually being the president doing the agendas of each. protesters payers will give up when they see they are not winning.
Mark Levin doesn’t want Rudy for AG. He said on last night’s show that one of the reasons is because Rudy wasn’t a team player when he was in the Reagan admin. Rudy went after Edwin Mease. And Mark says it still pisses him off to this day.
Does anyone know what this is reagarding?
No swamp is as deep or putrid than the state dept.

While reading the replies to you I started to understand your insight about having Giuliani at the State Department. Thank you for your comment!
