2020 Presidential election How did President Trump continue to make false allegatons despite all this unequivocal information? Trump sought out those who were not scrupulous with the facts, and were willing to be dishonest. He found a new legal team to assert claims that  his existing advisors and the Justice Department had specifically informed him were false. President Trump's new legal team, headed by Rudolph Giuliani, and their allies ultimately lost  dozens of lawsuits in Federal and state courts. … Indeed, eleven of the judges who ruled against  Donald Trump and his supporters were appointed  by Donald Trump himself. … Not a single witness — nor any combination of witnesses — provided  the Committee with evidence demonstrating that fraud occurred on a scale even remotely close to changing the outcome in any state.

The Big Lie On February 7, 2019, … Giuliani told  Ms. Dunphy, in her capacity as his employee, about a plan that had been prepared for if Trump lost the 2020 election.

Corruption I never thought $130,000 – I know this sounds funny  to people there at home – I never thought $130,000 was a real payment.  It's a nuissance payment. When I settle this – when it   was real or a real possibility – it's a couple million dollars, not – not $130,000.

Lying The safest way to turn indifference to truth and decency into money and power is to be a part of a whole class of people like yourself, not a single big shot. A whole class of financial executives walked away clean from the 2008 crisis because so many other people were acting out the same greed-driven fantasy. Giuliani’s downfall was not in pushing Trump’s nonsense so much as in pushing himself to the front, where all the cameras were.  Robert Armstrong, Financial Times, December 22, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com

Racists say What I said wasn't racism. It couldn't be because Obama had a white mother, a white grandfather, he went to white schools, and most of what he learned was from whites. Rudy Giuliani, who said to an audience of whites, “I know this is a horriblle thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America. He doesn't love you. And he doesn't love me. He wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.” © 2016 Kwiple.com
