I Once Backed Giuliani. I Know What’s Happened to Him.

If the wheels of justice turn slowly but grind exceedingly fine, they’re grinding at last toward Rudy Giuliani. In the hearings of the House of Representatives’ Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, Giuliani has taken center stage. On June 9, Vice Chair Liz Cheney mentioned him three times as a leader in planning Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election and conduct a coup d’état against the government. In the June 13 hearing, Cheney cited Republican witnesses who’d watched an “apparently inebriated” Giuliani urge Trump to declare victory on election night, long before the election had been called. Even if the House committee reports no indictable offenses, other investigations and lawsuits involving him may well indict, convict, and/or bankrupt him.
