Tell us what this means, that Giuliani has now been named as a target of this
investigation, what is he now facing?
>> He may be facing a midnight train to Georgia,
to quote lyrics from Gladys Knight in the 5th, look, he's jammed up here.
Being named the target, your lawyer being told, hey, your clients are target,
it's really bad, it means that the grand jury and the prosecutors are thinking,
we're about to charge you, it's Imminent.
>> You heard that correctly,
Rudy Giuliani's attempts to assist Donald Trump in overturning the results
of the 2020 presidential election, is finally catching up with him.
And he has been named the target of Georgia's investigation of their
criminal probe, into what Giuliani was doing in the lead up to January 6th,
including pushing for this phony slate of electors.
That would essentially cast the vote for Trump as opposed to Biden,
even though Biden had won the election.
Now, Georgia DiA Fani Willis has suggested, her investigation
might result in charges that include racketeering and conspiracy,
effectively, a coordinated effort to fraudulently overturn the election.
And Giuliani could also be vulnerable to charges of making false statements in
those hearings.
So, what we've learned in recent days, is that there's been a petition,
in fact, the petition last month seeking testimony from Giuliani and
other aides to Donald Trump.
Willis cited Giuliani's hearings as being part of a multi state
coordinated plan by the Trump campaign, to influence the results
of the November 2020 election in Georgia and elsewhere.
And so, let's talk a little bit about what Willis has disclosed about
the investigation, and why Rudy Giuliani specifically,
is one of the individuals who is being investigated.
Let's go to graphic four here, Willis has said in a petition, that Giuliani worked
with pro-Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro, to coordinate the fake electors.
Beyond that, there's the possibility that Giuliani could be held liable for
making false statements in those hearings.
Across many hours, Giuliani offered a litany of bogus claims, including
some which had already been debunked, and you might be wondering, which ones?
Well, we debunk them in real time on the show, but let me remind you,
he claimed for instance, that lots of underage voters,
dead people, and felons had voted in Georgia, none of which is true.
And he blamed voting machines for changing the results, which also isn't true, and
has earned Giuliani problems in civil court.
But I want to be clear,
he's facing a criminal investigation here with this Georgia DiA.
And I'd want to remind you about what kind of options Giuliani has, if he thinks that
he's like Donald Trump, and he can skirt the consequences of what he engaged in.
So, let's go to this next video,
which features counterintelligence expert Frank Figliuzzi.
>> His options are not good, if he claims attorney-client privilege,
right, it's an admission that Trump told him to do this illegal stuff in Georgia.
It's a no win for him, and all the DA has to say is, well, okay that's very
interesting, first, your privilege doesn't extend to criminality, number one.
Number two, we could stay away from what Trump said to you,
if you think that's privileged, let's just investigate what you did all by yourself
with Georgia officials, in an attempt to unlawfully overturn the Georgia election.
We're focused on you, so it's really a no win situation,
he's going to have to plead the Fifth or incriminate himself.
>> And in researching this story, I spoke to numerous legal experts,
and they seem to agree with one another, that in America, for most people,
when you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
So, we're about to see what kind of stupid prize Giuliani is gonna win, for
serving as a crony for someone like Donald Trump, who doesn't respect our democratic
process or the outcome of our presidential elections.
>> I'm glad you asked the legal experts.
>> I did.
>> So that's reassuring, that you do in fact win stupid prizes.
So, well, he's gonna win a couple prizes here, first of all,
I actually want to give a lot of credit to the prosecutor in Fulton County,
because apparently, they know how to do their job.
With anyone that's on the Democratic side, the left side,
whatever, it's a super low bar, like the Manhattan attorney general,
the bar was right at his tippy toes and he tripped over it.
And he couldn't prosecute anyone, even though the case was handed to him,
all of his prosecutors, like, why won't you prosecute the guy?
And he's like, I'll do it, and he just by bungled it away like a loser.
So in Fulton County they're like, no, there's a thing called the law and
everybody's accountable to it, if you come up with fake electors, and
one of the emails literally said, fake electors.
And you try to replace the real electors with them, that's in essence a coup,
that is sedition, that is arguably treason, that is a very serious crime.
They were actually trying to get away with it, it was so
mad that Pence wouldn't participate, they nearly hung him.
I mean that's a real coup,
where there was an actual threat of murdering the vice president.
So, Fulton County is doing the bare minimum, but yes, we got somebody to do
the bare minimum, and Giuliani has spread it out, that he's involved left and right.
These people have written books and Navarro wrote a book about it and said,
I mean, because they think they're above law for my entire life.
Right wing men have thought, I don't have to follow the goddamn law,
the law is for me to put everybody under my goddamn thumb, I don't follow it.
And so, that's why Rudy, and Navarro, and Bannon, and
Trump all think, we're not gonna get prosecuted, well now,
looks like they are going to get prosecuted, at least Giuliani is.
Now the second part that I love, they're gonna throw him under the bus.
>> They're gonna throw him under the bus.
>> Of course you do think Trump's gonna go, you know what Rudy?
Let me be a stand up guy, why don't I fess up to what I've actually done,
and that I asked you to do that, and that you didn't do it on your own [LAUGH].
You do think that?
If you think Trump has even one ounce of morality in that stinking orange body,
you're nuts, check yourself into a mental health clinic.
Of course he's gonna throw Giuliani and everyone else under the bus.
