Thanks, Rudy Giuliani, for taking Donald Trump down

Bless you, Rudolph William Louis Giuliani. You give us hope. Frankly, I donโt know where to begin with Rudy Giuliani. He was once US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He was once the mayor of New York City. He was once Time person of the year. He was once, briefly, the favored pick for the presidential nominee for the GOP. In his latest stage of metamorphosis, heโs become a rampaging lunatic. But as Iโll explain, we need to thank him for that.
After early tumult in the Trump presidency, namely the debacle with Michael Cohen, Rudy Giuliani slunk his way into Trumpโs inner circle. There he stayed, and there he has festered. Giuliani appears to have, with remarkable success, ingratiated his way into Trumpโs trust. What exactly he told him is unclear, but itโs easy to speculate: โThat Russia problem? Donโt worry, Iโll take care of it.โ, โI used to run SDNY! They canโt touch you with me around!โ, โYou name the news station, Iโll be on and go to bat for you anytime.โ, โTrust me, Iโm a lawyer.โ, โWhaddya need, boss?โ. You get the idea. Heโs Trumpโs top stooge, which is saying a lot considering just how stoogely Barr and Pompeo are.
But again, we need to be very, very thankful for Mr. Mayor. With his batshit schemes and ham-fisted cover-ups, heโs singlehandedly tipped the scales to impeachment for Trump. He made Trump feel secure, which then made Trumpโs worst impulses run wild. Thanks to Giulianiโs breathtaking incompetence, these crimes are out in the open, and itโs expediting Trumpโs downfall. If Trump hired a competent lawyer, we wouldnโt have the honor of watching Giuliani admit to Trumpโs crimes on television. If Trump hired a competent lawyer, maybe he wouldnโt have such an appalling approval rating. But now, sadly, it looks as though Giulianiโs days as Trumpโs top stooge are coming to an end.
The New York Times reports that Giuliani is under investigation for the Ukraine scandal. Shocking. At the very least, heโll have one of the most remarkable cases for being disbarred in US history. Sorry, Michael Cohen; youโre not nearly stupid enough to claim that title.
So with that, thank you Mr. Mayor โ from each and every one of us who hopes to see Trump resign, impeached, and/or voted out. Youโve done more legwork than any Democratic plant could dream of doing.
