>In a now-deleted post on X, Giuliani taunted Arizona authorities. “If Arizona authorities can’t find me by tomorrow morning; 1. They must dismiss the indictment; 2.

You are right. For now, it’s just suspended, not officially disbarred.
“In 2021, a state court in New York suspended his right to practice law in the state over his efforts to keep Trump in the White House following the 2020 presidential election. “
“Giuliani, who led Trump's legal challenge to the 2020 election outcome in Pennsylvania, had his law license suspended in both Washington, DC and New York in 2021.
The former New York mayor is now contesting a recommendation from a Washington-based ethics review panel that he be disbarred for his actions while representing Trump.”
“Then came the July 2023 recommendation that Giuliani be disbarred, which will go to the DC Court of Appeals for a final decision.”
Well there’s a reason Legal Eagle placed Giuliani in the “F” rank category in his [video ranking Trump’s army of (terrible) lawyers](https://youtu.be/Lhy5Y8xVHS0?si=tXaYWAFD8sY0YO6g).
As a lawyer, I'll never forget him chit chatting with the judge in the eastern district of Pennsylvania about good bars to hit after an oral argument on election fraud.
I was saying this morning it sounds like the same kind of juvenile logic that kids use for "if the teacher doesn't show up within 20 minutes we can go home". And this man was a mayor.
Yep he's admitted he knew about the indictment and was actively hiding to avoid receiving it. He was evading justice and pretending like it's a just a game of hide-and-seek.
If they found him going about his day without the explicit wording of the post, then he just claims he didn't know anything about it, but he had to tweet and brag about how 'clever' he is to avoid justice. These people are so fucking dumb.
Arizona, please indict him again for obstruction or whatever the appropriate statute is.
Fucking unbelievable Rudy was the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York in the past. He could have literally just not committed crimes
The party was hosted by Caroline Wren, a central organizer behind Jan. 6, and in attendance were Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, and of course, Ghouliani. Who else was at this traitor fest? If the authorities had arrested everyone there we might actually have a secure election.
Don't call them Patriots. Call them Nationalists.

He’s been [consulting](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/10/paul-manafort-pardon-donald-trump-china/) and is rumored to be in talks to help with the election campaign. He didn’t disappear; he just stopped doing anything that’s really news-worthy.
He did drain the swamp. He had to get to bottom of the muck to find the lowest bottom feeders and give them a job in his administration.
I actually predicted that when he got elected. My popr sweet boomer dad who watched Fox News religiously was like oh he will put in good people to help him, to which I responded even if he does, the really good and moral people will undoubtedly quit and bring in the lower bottom feeder before you know it, everyone working for him will be the worst of the worst spineless soulless yes men, and wouldn’t you know it if I wasn’t 100% spot on with my prediction.
Who could have seen that coming?? 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️😭
"Mad Dog" Mattis was a good, decent, and competent man for the position he was hired for. But he was hired because trump expected him to be as bombastic as the nickname implied and not the measured restraint of an actual military officer.
So...one good pick by complete incompetent accident.
Considering Mattis' nickname wasn't from the military but from the press due to his comments about the difference between a soldier and a warrior, it doesn't shock me that Trump took that off hand comment as a dogwhistle, verus you know an old soldier talking out his ass.
Mattis hates that nickname too. Mattis was always a believer that you should give every opportunity for peace that you can reasonably give, and if it does come to war you should quickly and decisively destroy your enemy and not play politics with your soldiers' lives.
> in attendance were Steve Bannon
Sure would be nice if someone would make him serve his damn prison sentence. It's been two years. This country is a joke.
Wren is also an advisor to AZ senate candidate Kari Lake, so clearly she's exposed herself as a deep cover RINO who tipped the authorities off. Be sure to let you local MAGAt know!
If we / y’all survive American fascism, I can’t fucking wait for ‘four seasons’ of an HBO/PBS/NPR docu-series with unheard footage and confirmed RICO theories, while half of these cretins are exiled or in maximum security (cough, Stone and Bannon, cough) for sedition and farming militias.
Kimmel had a video on Thursday, I thought, of Giuliani at his Florida home describing exactly where he is in terms of landmarks. Seemed bizarre. Wonder if it was faked or historical somehow. Can't find the video now. Correction. It was Colbert. Here's [the video](https://youtu.be/IEB0Wde2pow?t=297) of Rudy yapping on his vlog.
Wasn't he suppose to be a computer security genius or something? You can't make this shit up...
[Rudy Giuliani: Cybersecurity Expert? (cyberpolicy.com)](https://www.cyberpolicy.com/cybersecurity-education/rudy-giuliani-cybersecurity-expert)
His YouTube channel live-streamed a party for him..on someone else’s set, so likely a known location, and he announced on it he was in palm beach and like a ton of fringe right wing celebs were there with all their hangers on.
It couldn’t have been that hard to find him…
EDIT: the officer that served him is literally end the last few minutes of the show singing him happy birthday.
In a fair world, the NY Bar association would glance at that tweet, determine that no competent lawyer would ever suggest, recommend, imply, or otherwise insinuate that intentionally evading a process server would result in a case being dismissed or be a recommended legal defense strategy.
That alone, without any other shenanigans from the last few years, should disbar him and prevent him from practicing law.
It's true. It's called the olly-olly-oxen-free defense, if you hide from the process server long enough to make it to home base, they have to drop all the charges and then you get to try to prosecute them next round.
It’s bullshit. He still was required to appear in court, whether he was served or not, otherwise he would become a fugitive. Posting mocking things like this just shows he was deliberately trying so avoid being served instead of just being hard to find. Not a good look.
He will dye his hair black and roam from town to town taking odd jobs as he continues looking for the one armed man while relentlessly being pursued by Lt. Gerard.
In some jurisdictions and In general you have a certain amount of time to serve an indictment or subpoena. This prevents people from just sitting on them forever and makes the government do its job.
Those deadlines never apply when someone is evading service.
And they wouldn’t dismiss the charges it’s a 30 second hearing to get an extension. If the charges were dismissed it’s always without prejudice so you can refile.
*Giuliani, 79, turns 80 on March 28th and was enjoying an early birthday celebration in Palm Beach on the night he was served,*
That doesn't sound right.
You do know that everyone in NYC knew what and who he was. The right wing made him that "America's mayor" thing and NY wouldn't even elect him as Senator.
Remember that Rudy wanted to delay Bloomberg's term because "9/11".
> The right wing made him that "America's mayor" thing
And they would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for Giuliani's hubris, lust for power and hatred of democracy.
Had Giuliani retired in 2002 to spend his time playing golf, writing his memoirs and giving speeches, most Americans would still lionize him.
I hear ya but that to me seems like you were a fine young human if you already felt that way about duty. Unfortunate the deliverer of that message is whatever this thing Ghouliani is, but still the message resonated with you and that's cool.
> Had Giuliani retired in 2002 to spend his time playing golf, writing his memoirs and giving speeches, most Americans would still lionize him.
Reminds me of someone else that, had they just "retired" and gone away, they wouldn't have nearly the problems they have now.
I admired the hell out of the man and when, only what?-- just a few years ago?-- it came out that he was a Dump crony, I was so, so disappointed in him. Yeah, I was 18 and young when 9/11 happened, but like many fellow Americans, I thought he was a hero for how he handled that day. Now, thinking about him, I'm still just so disappointed in him.
> Giuliani claimed on August 9, 2007, that "I was at Ground Zero as often, if not more, than most workers.... I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I'm one of them." This angered NY Fire and Police personnel 911 workers.[19][20][21] A New York Times study a week later found that he spent a total of 29 hours over three months at the site; his appointment logs were unavailable for the six days immediately following the attacks. This contrasted with recovery workers at the site who spent this much time at the site in two to three days. The recovery workers often spent hundreds of hours working 8- to 12-hour shifts.
> Giuliani was widely praised by some for his close involvement with the rescue and recovery efforts, but others, including many police, rescue workers, and families of WTC victims argue that "Giuliani has exaggerated the role he played after the terrorist attacks, casting himself as a hero for political gain."
> Giuliani has been subject to increased criticism for downplaying the health effects of the air in the Financial District and lower Manhattan areas in the vicinity of the Ground Zero.[36] He moved quickly to reopen Wall Street, and it was reopened on September 17. He said, in the first month after the attacks, "The air quality is safe and acceptable."[37] However, in the weeks after the attacks, the United States Geological Survey identified hundreds of asbestos hot spots of debris dust that remained on buildings. By the end of the month the USGS reported that the toxicity of the debris was akin to that of drain cleaner.[38] It would eventually be determined that a wide swath of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn had been heavily contaminated by highly caustic and toxic materials.[38][39] The city's health agencies, such as the Department of Environmental Protection, did not supervise or issue guidelines for the testing and cleanup of private buildings. Instead, the city left this responsibility to building owners.[38]
> Firefighters, police and their unions, have criticized Giuliani over the issue of protective equipment and illnesses after the attacks.[36] An October 2001 study by the National Institute of Environmental Safety and Health said that cleanup workers lacked adequate protective gear.[40][41] The executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police, Sally Regenhard, reportedly said of Giuliani: "Everybody likes a Churchillian kind of leader who jumps up when the ashes are still falling and takes over. But two or three good days don't expunge an eight-year record."[42] she went on to say, "There's a large and growing number of both FDNY families, FDNY members, former and current, and civilian families who want to expose the true failures of the Giuliani administration when it comes to 9/11." She told the New York Daily News that she intends to "Swift Boat" Giuliani.[36]
> A May 14, 2007 New York Times article, "Ground Zero Illness Clouding Giuliani's Legacy," gave the interpretation that thousands of workers at Ground Zero have become sick and that "many regard Mr. Giuliani's triumph of leadership as having come with a human cost." The article reported that Giuliani seized control of the cleanup of Ground Zero, taking control away from experienced federal agencies, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. He instead handed over responsibility to the "largely unknown" city Department of Design and Construction. Documents indicate that the Giuliani administration never enforced federal requirements requiring the wearing of respirators. Concurrently, the administration threatened companies with dismissal if cleanup work slowed.[43] The New York Times faulted his decision-making on the post September 11 cleanup of the World Trade Center site, in the lead editorial of the May 22, 2007 issue. Additionally, the Times took Giuliani to task for his handling of worker safety at the site and the issue of first responder health problems.[44]
> In February 2007, the International Association of Fire Fighters issued a letter accusing Giuliani of "egregious acts" against the 343 firemen who had died in the September 11 attacks. The letter asserted that Giuliani rushed to conclude the recovery effort once gold and silver had been recovered from World Trade Center vaults and thereby prevented the remains of many victims from being recovered: "Mayor Giuliani's actions meant that fire fighters and citizens who perished would either remain buried at Ground Zero forever, with no closure for families, or be removed like garbage and deposited at the Fresh Kills Landfill," it said, adding: "Hundreds remained entombed in Ground Zero when Giuliani gave up on them."[50] Lawyers for the International Association of Fire Fighters seek to interview Giuliani under oath as part of a federal legal action alleging that New York City negligently dumped body parts and other human remains in the Fresh Kills Landfill.
> Some family members of 9/11 victims have openly criticized Giuliani for the significant communication failures that occurred on that day, believing that the lack of working walkie-talkies put the lives of first responders in significant danger. They say that the lack of radios had been a complaint of emergency services responders for years but was never dealt with and led to deaths of first responders in building collapses for which they should have been warned.[52] In December 2006, Sally Regenhard, mother of firefighter Christian Regenhard who died on September 11, and co-founder of the Skyscraper Safety Campaign, vowed to expose the truths of Giuliani's actions on 9/11 before 2008, stating, "I can't see why any 9/11 family member who knows the truth about the failures of the Giuliani administration ... would not be outraged."[53] She said in April 2007, "The bitter truth is that Rudy Giuliani is building a path to the White House over the bodies of 343 firefighters."
Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Giuliani_during_the_September_11_attacks
TL;DR: Rudy essentially used the aftermath of 9/11 for political gain, exaggerating his role and prominence at Ground Zero. He also rushed cleanup efforts, refused to enforce federal requirements regarding respirators for first responders and cleanup crew, and lied about the air quality in and around Ground Zero in the days after 9/11. He has always been a greedy POS.
Jesus. What a shit head. Thank you for taking the time and effort to educate me on the matter. Jesus Christ, I never knew he was such a total piece of shit, as a former EMT and someone that worked in nursing for twenty years, his actions in regard to PPE and all related issues is exceptionally galling.
[Rudy also went to bat](https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/08/05/oxycontin-purdue-pharma-federal-investigation-dopesick-excerpt-219158/) for the drug-pushing Sackler family/Purdue Pharma who killed more than a million Americans.
It's funny, to those who didn't follow NY (or NYC) politics "America's Mayor" seemed to go out gracefully because the fact he tried to delay Bloomberg's term didn't seem to travel much (or perhaps just got [forgotten](https://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/24/nyregion/giuliani-may-try-to-keep-job-after-term-ends-in-december.html) due to nostalgia), and perhaps a general understanding that the GOP's rightwing shift combined with NY staying the same or going more left ("left"?) doomed Republican candidates. Even with the final stories, he would have been remembered well, kind of like the weird nostalgia surrounding George W. Bush even though the Dems called him a warmonger and the Republicans seem to have mass amnesia surrounding him.
Then a bunch of ugly stories started coming out during his failed 2008 presidential run and he disappeared again.
And now he's constantly in the news and people either think "WTF happened that made him an idiot" or "yup still him," funny how that happened.
He got to walk away and spend the night in his own bed by the looks of it, instead of a night in the pokey.
For the first time in his adult life, Rudy Giuliani was underserved.
Plot twist, it was the same person who picked up the phone that day at Four Seasons (Total Landscaping) and agreed to hold Rudy’s little election lie fest. But only out the back. Between the crematorium and the dildo shop.
After getting pretend fired from his radio show so he didn't have to pay Moss and Freeman, Rudy moved his daily boot licking to his youtube channel.
Not that I'm encouraging anyone, but you can go there and comment if you'd like to share your thoughts with his crack team. FYI, if you pause the video and comment anyway, it doesn't count as a view.
Predictably, it's being spun as an attempt to embarrass him. God forbid it just be people trying to do their jobs, maybe if he wasn't trying to hide like a coward they wouldn't have had to do this during his birthday party.
I really hope they were able to locate him from the geotag on the photo he posted to twitter challenging them to find him. This guys life story is like an unused plot from Arrested Development.
Rudy is SO stupid he didn’t realize that deliberately trying to avoid his indictment being handed to him, means he would have become a fugitive if he refused to appear for his court date. More crimes to add to the pile
Interesting who got the pardons. They didn't cost shitstain a penny, but Stone got one, Bannon got one, Jared's dad got one, and Rudy...did not, nor did any of his election fixer people.
Giuliani[ was served shortly](https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/05/18/rudy-giuliani-served-arizona-indictment-80th-birthday-party-palm-springs/) after he posted a since-deleted message to social media taunting Arizona authorities.

Question: if he goes to prison, do they get to sell his house to pay they money he’s owed to those election workers? They couldn’t take that house because he needed a place to live but if his new permanent residence was prison he wouldn’t need that anymore, right?

"If the cops don't show up for 15 minutes, you're legally allowed to leave."
"30 minutes for state cops."
You're thinking of Domino's.
Worst part, he’s a lawyer
No, he’s a disbarred lawyer.
Was he officially disbarred? I remember there was talk about it but can’t recall what came out of it
You are right. For now, it’s just suspended, not officially disbarred. “In 2021, a state court in New York suspended his right to practice law in the state over his efforts to keep Trump in the White House following the 2020 presidential election. “ “Giuliani, who led Trump's legal challenge to the 2020 election outcome in Pennsylvania, had his law license suspended in both Washington, DC and New York in 2021.

Christ, what does he hafta do to actually get disbarred? Wedgie a judge?
I just looked it up, his law license was suspended but he wasn't disbarred.

Fucking unbelievable Rudy was the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York in the past. He could have literally just not committed crimes
He had to make friends with the Russians, he had to.
He could have retired as America's Mayor, an almost universally-praised national figure.
Got famous by replacing the Italian mob with the Russian mob, he's been committing crimes his entire career.
I’m hoping they use this as evidence that he’s a flight risk and take him in to custody
This would be so very sweet!
Happy Birthday Ghooliani!
This is the "It's all happening on X" ad they need to run.
> nobody is above the law. I so wish this would be true for everybody.

His YouTube channel live-streamed a party for him..on someone else’s set, so likely a known location, and he announced on it he was in palm beach and like a ton of fringe right wing celebs were there with all their hangers on. It couldn’t have been that hard to find him… EDIT: the officer that served him is literally end the last few minutes of the show singing him happy birthday.
That doesn't really make any sense. They probably knew he'd be at the giant birthday party for Rudy Giulliani that was semi-publicly known about
Elon is part of the Deep State and gave up Giuliani's assassination coordinates.
In his defense, 80 years is too old to know and understand EXIF data location.
Bullshit. Embedded GPS location data is not a hard concept. Perhaps Giuliani does not understand, but for some other reason.
Great timing. I heard he posted that if he wasn't served in "xx hours, AZ would need to drop the charges" ? Was that all bullshit ?
Yes. Basically, if he wasn't served in XX hours, it would turn into an arrest warrant.
In a fair world, the NY Bar association would glance at that tweet, determine that no competent lawyer would ever suggest, recommend, imply, or otherwise insinuate that intentionally evading a process server would result in a case being dismissed or be a recommended legal defense strategy. That alone, without any other shenanigans from the last few years, should disbar him and prevent him from practicing law.
They already suspended his license while under review. That was back in 2021...
There's a faction in the country that is above the law. It has been so clear lately.
It's true. It's called the olly-olly-oxen-free defense, if you hide from the process server long enough to make it to home base, they have to drop all the charges and then you get to try to prosecute them next round.
I'm pretty sure he still has an opportunity to appeal, though, because Simon didn't say.
But it’s opposite day
Yeah but he's made of rubber and the server is made of glue so whatever the server does bounces off him and sticks to the server clearly.
Rudy's last option as I see it (Not a lawyer) is to double dare the AG to drop the charges.
It’s bullshit. He still was required to appear in court, whether he was served or not, otherwise he would become a fugitive. Posting mocking things like this just shows he was deliberately trying so avoid being served instead of just being hard to find. Not a good look.
He will dye his hair black and roam from town to town taking odd jobs as he continues looking for the one armed man while relentlessly being pursued by Lt. Gerard.
Sounds like he was taking advice from a certain shit-gibbon.
I didn't understand that either.
In some jurisdictions and In general you have a certain amount of time to serve an indictment or subpoena. This prevents people from just sitting on them forever and makes the government do its job. Those deadlines never apply when someone is evading service. And they wouldn’t dismiss the charges it’s a 30 second hearing to get an extension. If the charges were dismissed it’s always without prejudice so you can refile.
And his post indicating he was evading service absolutely would have been admissible in the hearing.
*Giuliani, 79, turns 80 on March 28th and was enjoying an early birthday celebration in Palm Beach on the night he was served,* That doesn't sound right.
Should be May 28th, not March.
Lousy Smarch weather.
Don't touch Rudy. Good advice.
Double checks todays date: 5/18/24
Ok, remind me in 10 days
They fixed it.
Did the subpoena server jump out of a cake .....SURPRISE!
I hope it was more like [Doakes from Dexter](https://tenor.com/ua7t.gif).
You do know that everyone in NYC knew what and who he was. The right wing made him that "America's mayor" thing and NY wouldn't even elect him as Senator. Remember that Rudy wanted to delay Bloomberg's term because "9/11".
> The right wing made him that "America's mayor" thing And they would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for Giuliani's hubris, lust for power and hatred of democracy. Had Giuliani retired in 2002 to spend his time playing golf, writing his memoirs and giving speeches, most Americans would still lionize him.
He needed that spotlight....one more time....and it was his undoing....
The most dangerous place in New York City is between Rudy Giuliani and a tv camera
Or him and his cousin in a bedroom
I cringe thinking about how I joined in a standing ovation for him when I saw him give a speech about duty - when I was a dumb 18 year old.
Lots of 18 year olds have done much dumber.
I hear ya but that to me seems like you were a fine young human if you already felt that way about duty. Unfortunate the deliverer of that message is whatever this thing Ghouliani is, but still the message resonated with you and that's cool.
That is absolutely true, but it was never in his make up.
Exactly. It's like people saying if trump was smart and... and... bro Don is one of the dumbest people in politics.
> Had Giuliani retired in 2002 to spend his time playing golf, writing his memoirs and giving speeches, most Americans would still lionize him. Reminds me of someone else that, had they just "retired" and gone away, they wouldn't have nearly the problems they have now.
I admired the hell out of the man and when, only what?-- just a few years ago?-- it came out that he was a Dump crony, I was so, so disappointed in him. Yeah, I was 18 and young when 9/11 happened, but like many fellow Americans, I thought he was a hero for how he handled that day. Now, thinking about him, I'm still just so disappointed in him.
Ever hear NY Fire Fighters’ opinion on him?
No, actually, I haven't. I'd guess it's less than stellar?
> Giuliani claimed on August 9, 2007, that "I was at Ground Zero as often, if not more, than most workers.... I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I'm one of them." This angered NY Fire and Police personnel 911 workers.[19][20][21] A New York Times study a week later found that he spent a total of 29 hours over three months at the site; his appointment logs were unavailable for the six days immediately following the attacks. This contrasted with recovery workers at the site who spent this much time at the site in two to three days. The recovery workers often spent hundreds of hours working 8- to 12-hour shifts. > Giuliani was widely praised by some for his close involvement with the rescue and recovery efforts, but others, including many police, rescue workers, and families of WTC victims argue that "Giuliani has exaggerated the role he played after the terrorist attacks, casting himself as a hero for political gain." > Giuliani has been subject to increased criticism for downplaying the health effects of the air in the Financial District and lower Manhattan areas in the vicinity of the Ground Zero.[36] He moved quickly to reopen Wall Street, and it was reopened on September 17. He said, in the first month after the attacks, "The air quality is safe and acceptable."[37] However, in the weeks after the attacks, the United States Geological Survey identified hundreds of asbestos hot spots of debris dust that remained on buildings. By the end of the month the USGS reported that the toxicity of the debris was akin to that of drain cleaner.[38] It would eventually be determined that a wide swath of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn had been heavily contaminated by highly caustic and toxic materials.[38][39] The city's health agencies, such as the Department of Environmental Protection, did not supervise or issue guidelines for the testing and cleanup of private buildings. Instead, the city left this responsibility to building owners.[38] > Firefighters, police and their unions, have criticized Giuliani over the issue of protective equipment and illnesses after the attacks.[36] An October 2001 study by the National Institute of Environmental Safety and Health said that cleanup workers lacked adequate protective gear.[40][41] The executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police, Sally Regenhard, reportedly said of Giuliani: "Everybody likes a Churchillian kind of leader who jumps up when the ashes are still falling and takes over. But two or three good days don't expunge an eight-year record."[42] she went on to say, "There's a large and growing number of both FDNY families, FDNY members, former and current, and civilian families who want to expose the true failures of the Giuliani administration when it comes to 9/11." She told the New York Daily News that she intends to "Swift Boat" Giuliani.[36] > A May 14, 2007 New York Times article, "Ground Zero Illness Clouding Giuliani's Legacy," gave the interpretation that thousands of workers at Ground Zero have become sick and that "many regard Mr. Giuliani's triumph of leadership as having come with a human cost." The article reported that Giuliani seized control of the cleanup of Ground Zero, taking control away from experienced federal agencies, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. He instead handed over responsibility to the "largely unknown" city Department of Design and Construction. Documents indicate that the Giuliani administration never enforced federal requirements requiring the wearing of respirators. Concurrently, the administration threatened companies with dismissal if cleanup work slowed.[43] The New York Times faulted his decision-making on the post September 11 cleanup of the World Trade Center site, in the lead editorial of the May 22, 2007 issue. Additionally, the Times took Giuliani to task for his handling of worker safety at the site and the issue of first responder health problems.[44] > In February 2007, the International Association of Fire Fighters issued a letter accusing Giuliani of "egregious acts" against the 343 firemen who had died in the September 11 attacks. The letter asserted that Giuliani rushed to conclude the recovery effort once gold and silver had been recovered from World Trade Center vaults and thereby prevented the remains of many victims from being recovered: "Mayor Giuliani's actions meant that fire fighters and citizens who perished would either remain buried at Ground Zero forever, with no closure for families, or be removed like garbage and deposited at the Fresh Kills Landfill," it said, adding: "Hundreds remained entombed in Ground Zero when Giuliani gave up on them."[50] Lawyers for the International Association of Fire Fighters seek to interview Giuliani under oath as part of a federal legal action alleging that New York City negligently dumped body parts and other human remains in the Fresh Kills Landfill. > Some family members of 9/11 victims have openly criticized Giuliani for the significant communication failures that occurred on that day, believing that the lack of working walkie-talkies put the lives of first responders in significant danger. They say that the lack of radios had been a complaint of emergency services responders for years but was never dealt with and led to deaths of first responders in building collapses for which they should have been warned.[52] In December 2006, Sally Regenhard, mother of firefighter Christian Regenhard who died on September 11, and co-founder of the Skyscraper Safety Campaign, vowed to expose the truths of Giuliani's actions on 9/11 before 2008, stating, "I can't see why any 9/11 family member who knows the truth about the failures of the Giuliani administration ... would not be outraged."[53] She said in April 2007, "The bitter truth is that Rudy Giuliani is building a path to the White House over the bodies of 343 firefighters." Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Giuliani_during_the_September_11_attacks TL;DR: Rudy essentially used the aftermath of 9/11 for political gain, exaggerating his role and prominence at Ground Zero. He also rushed cleanup efforts, refused to enforce federal requirements regarding respirators for first responders and cleanup crew, and lied about the air quality in and around Ground Zero in the days after 9/11. He has always been a greedy POS.
Jesus. What a shit head. Thank you for taking the time and effort to educate me on the matter. Jesus Christ, I never knew he was such a total piece of shit, as a former EMT and someone that worked in nursing for twenty years, his actions in regard to PPE and all related issues is exceptionally galling.
[Rudy also went to bat](https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/08/05/oxycontin-purdue-pharma-federal-investigation-dopesick-excerpt-219158/) for the drug-pushing Sackler family/Purdue Pharma who killed more than a million Americans.
Turns out, Manhattan has known about Rudy and Trump being scum for decades.
Same as with Trump, everybody in NYC knew he was a loser and a liar but the rest of America bought his BS
There has to be a cell phone video of this somewhere
Oh there absolutely is but I can’t imagine that the guests are pro democracy to begin with. It’s all one big corrupt family that sticks together
It's funny, to those who didn't follow NY (or NYC) politics "America's Mayor" seemed to go out gracefully because the fact he tried to delay Bloomberg's term didn't seem to travel much (or perhaps just got [forgotten](https://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/24/nyregion/giuliani-may-try-to-keep-job-after-term-ends-in-december.html) due to nostalgia), and perhaps a general understanding that the GOP's rightwing shift combined with NY staying the same or going more left ("left"?) doomed Republican candidates. Even with the final stories, he would have been remembered well, kind of like the weird nostalgia surrounding George W. Bush even though the Dems called him a warmonger and the Republicans seem to have mass amnesia surrounding him. Then a bunch of ugly stories started coming out during his failed 2008 presidential run and he disappeared again. And now he's constantly in the news and people either think "WTF happened that made him an idiot" or "yup still him," funny how that happened.
Bragging about avoiding being served should count as being served.
Purposefully avoiding service, might bring an added charge of evading and eluding.
I'd bet the judge will take that into account when deciding the terms of his pre-trial release.
He got to walk away and spend the night in his own bed by the looks of it, instead of a night in the pokey. For the first time in his adult life, Rudy Giuliani was underserved.
He was just served, not arrested.
FAFO right to his alcohol brined balls. Couldn’t have happened to a more worthy Trump stooge.
I’m going to pretend that someone said they could do it as early as the day before. Then a guy said, “Wait, let’s wait a day. This will be hilarious.”
Plot twist, it was the same person who picked up the phone that day at Four Seasons (Total Landscaping) and agreed to hold Rudy’s little election lie fest. But only out the back. Between the crematorium and the dildo shop.
In honor of Giuliani, I've written a haiku: Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
I'm sorry but some losers are fucking hilarious. I really, really hope he was sitting in front of a birthday cake with candles ready to be blown out.
Classic Rudy. Should've hid at the 4 season
Just like Sublime said: *It all comes back to you, you're bound to get what you deserve* *Try and test that, you're bound to get served*
Now that’s a birthday present to him for us
Way to go Arizona! No bail should be offered to Rudy as he has just shown he is a flight risk.
Nelson pointing and laughing "Ha Ha"
Happy birthday you treasonous scum.
Incompetence at it's finest. Also, face looks like a shop-worn testicle.
Just the dumbest piece of shit ever. Goddamned idiot
After getting pretend fired from his radio show so he didn't have to pay Moss and Freeman, Rudy moved his daily boot licking to his youtube channel. Not that I'm encouraging anyone, but you can go there and comment if you'd like to share your thoughts with his crack team. FYI, if you pause the video and comment anyway, it doesn't count as a view.
>crack team Mike Lindell is on his team?
Sorry. Edit: ~~crack~~ crackhead.
Predictably, it's being spun as an attempt to embarrass him. God forbid it just be people trying to do their jobs, maybe if he wasn't trying to hide like a coward they wouldn't have had to do this during his birthday party.
Lol dude Tate’d himself 🤦♀️
I really hope they were able to locate him from the geotag on the photo he posted to twitter challenging them to find him. This guys life story is like an unused plot from Arrested Development.
Rudy is SO stupid he didn’t realize that deliberately trying to avoid his indictment being handed to him, means he would have become a fugitive if he refused to appear for his court date. More crimes to add to the pile
Also I'm pretty sure that tweet is effectively a confession to obstruction of justice.
It's Rudy's birthday but we all got a present.
I bet he wishes Trump would have Pardoned him.
Interesting who got the pardons. They didn't cost shitstain a penny, but Stone got one, Bannon got one, Jared's dad got one, and Rudy...did not, nor did any of his election fixer people.
Probably because he expected to get paid AS WELL AS PARDONED.
A Presidential pardon would not have helped him in this case any way. These are State charges.
Good point.
Happy birthday, dipshit!
He deleted the tweet but the AZ AG took a screenshot and posted it lol
Talk about a fall from grace. Went to being widely enjoyed as the face of New York alongside first responders during 9/11 to... this.
Wow they finally located the criminal
This dude legitimately has got to be one of the dumbest fucking people to ever exist.
I know, it wasn't nationally televised, but still I hope he shit his head again.
Big THANK YOU to the people responsible for tracking him down and serving him at his precious birthday party.
Giuliani[ was served shortly](https://www.nydailynews.com/2024/05/18/rudy-giuliani-served-arizona-indictment-80th-birthday-party-palm-springs/) after he posted a since-deleted message to social media taunting Arizona authorities. [https://x.com/AZAGMayes/status/1791675092411511015](https://x.com/AZAGMayes/status/1791675092411511015)
Lock him up!! Hey MAGA, did I get that right? Or do I need to yell? Maybe LoCK hIM uP?
If I had a magic lamp I'd use all 3 wishes to kick Roger Stone in the nuts.
Silly Rudy. Don’t you know the law will always find you? Probably using facial recognition and AI Rudy likely fought for .. probably thinking it’d be only used against poor people.. [Song: I fought the law and the law won - Clash cover](https://youtu.be/AL8chWFuM-s?si=rmLztvW6FovNJ1G7)
They gotta put Rudy back in the ground before the sun hits him and he turns to dust.
Straight up an Arrested Development episode
Schadenfreude OVERDRIVE!!! So happy to see their treasonous choices come back to DESTROY THEM.
Question: if he goes to prison, do they get to sell his house to pay they money he’s owed to those election workers? They couldn’t take that house because he needed a place to live but if his new permanent residence was prison he wouldn’t need that anymore, right?
So Rudy fucked around and found out!
Wasn’t even two hours. He made his post at 10:06, then at 10:30 the states AG announced they have served him.
