    Rudy let the Ground Zero workers go into the Pit without respirators, and told people that the air was safe.

    After people started dying, Rudy failed to attend any of the funerals and did nothing to get medical care funded.

      The problem goes back further…

      The consensus was that it was insane to have the rapid response unit so close, but Rudy’s mistress at the time (pretty sure the cousin he later married) lived just down the block.

      So Rudy kept it there so he could sneak over to see her.

      I think the reason they didn’t have the respirators, was that unit was too close and had all the equipment in it

    She said Giuliani claimed to have “immunity” and told “her that he was selling pardons for $2 million, which he and President Trump would split.” The lawsuit did not suggest any pardons were sold.

    I see, 50 for him and 50 for the big guy…

        One of the few upsides of not having much money is there being no risk of turning into these rich guys.

    I’m a bit confused. The case seems to be about sexual harassment and unpaid wages. The part about selling pardons doesn’t seem relevant to that. To my understanding it’s not illegal to sell pardons, it’s just highly unethical and corrupt.

    The Confederates are just corrupt as hell. I wish there was some mechanism to overrule and claw back any “pardons” from this shitbag of a so-called “president”. It’s such a stupid thing that there is no check on it at all.
