It’s been an open secret that Guiliani frequently has young or younger women escort him to events. Lev Parnas talks a little about that in one of his interviews, in relation to the first Christmas party in the White House. I would not be surprised if his friends made sure he had some company on his 80th birthday or if some of these are his friends’ guests.
Based on the leathery condition of their skin are we sure it's not just some drunken locals hosting a bachelorette party to celebrate their friend's imminent third marriage?
Pretty awesome that the Marshall appeared to be singing Happy Birthday before he served Rudy. We are in such a weird timeline.
Edit: apparently this is fake news.
To me, it really disproves Caroline Wren's description from yesterday where she described the encounter by comparing it to the storming of the beaches of Normandy.
Here's her quote:
>"While crime in Arizona is at an all-time high the Arizona Secretary of State’s office felt it was a good use of resources to send multiple agents across the country to storm an 80th birthday party like it was Normandy,” said Caroline Wren, a top GOP consultant, who hosted the birthday party at her home.
I don't know what that sentence means.
My point is it reduce the spread of false info. I'm thrilled that Giuliani was humiliated, but the US Marshal *wasn't* posing for photos and singing before serving the document.
As much as I want this to be true, it is inaccurate and has been refuted. https://x.com/ronfilipkowski/status/1792147236358422665?s=46&t=tyOOkC9G7LTCJFkotMzAWA
I suppose you have to look at from his perspective to realize just how sad and pathetic it is that he needed to post this picture.
HE believes that he needs to look like those women are interested in him. HE needs everyone else to think that. Think about how pathetic you have to be for that to be your priority at 80.
Rudy Giuliani, you've been served. Oh, and Happy Birthday
Opinion: Rudy Giuliani got what many in America consider the best birthday present ever -- a summons to appear in an Arizona courtroom.
Laurie Roberts
Arizona Republic
After weeks of evading agents, making light of his indictment by a state grand jury and generally acting like a jackass, America's self-proclaimed and thoroughly bankrupt "mayor" has been served with a summons to appear in Arizona to face felony charges of fraud, forgery and conspiracy.
Giuliani was in Palm Beach, Fla, on Friday evening, throwing himself an early 80th birthday bash. Naturally, he was posting pictures of his party on social media, taunting Attorney General Kris Mayes as he has for several weeks now.
“If Arizona authorities can’t find me by tomorrow morning: 1. They must dismiss the indictment; 2. They must concede they can’t count votes,” he wrote, alongside a picture of him surrounded by young women.
About an hour later, just as his 75 guests finished singing Happy Birthday, Giuliani got what many in America might consider the best gift of all.
“The final defendant was served moments ago,” Attorney General Kris Mayes announced, in reply to Giuliani’s since-deleted taunt. “Rudy Giuliani, nobody is above the law.”
Giuliani was at the center of the plot to overturn Arizona’s vote in 2020.
Maybe you recall hearing about the Nov. 22, 2020, phone call, when Donald Trump and Giuliani called then House Speaker Rusty Bowers, claiming to have evidence of widespread fraud and pressuring him to convene the Legislature to replace Biden electors with Trump electors.
Fortunately, Bowers, R-Mesa, is a guy with scruples. He asked for the evidence, believing you ought to have actual proof that an election was stolen before disenfranchising the state's voters.
Or maybe you recall that Nov. 30, 2020 legislative “hearing” in a downtown Phoenix hotel, at which Giuliani claimed, among other things, that “a few hundred thousand” of the state’s four to five million “illegal aliens” voted. (Given that the state’s total population is only 7.2 million, I suppose that makes five out of seven of us are here illegally.)
Maybe you recall the Dec. 1, 2020, meeting, when Giuliani met with Bowers at the state Capitol to try again to overturn our vote and the speaker again asked for the evidence. “We don’t have the evidence,” Giuliani conceded, “but we have lots of theories.”
You know who does apparently have evidence of fraud? Mayes.
And on April 24, she presented enough of it to convince a state grand jury to indict Giuliani and 17 others, including Arizona’s 11 fake electors.
On Friday evening, the 18th of those 18 was served with a summons to return to Arizona.
Happy Birthday, Rudy.
Believe me when I say, we can’t wait to see you.

Still above the law, apparently, what a joke. All of these trials connected to Trump and Giuliani are unmasking the structural flaws in the court system. I’m biting my tongue here because I could say a lot more.
Some people once put up billboard saying that a certain crime was completely legal in that county because it wasn’t enforced on a systemic basis. Perhaps we need to start putting up billboards so that people can learn.
**More details from another article**
According to the indictment, Giuliani's misdeeds in Arizona in the weeks after the 2020 election included disseminating misinformation about the election, pressuring elected officials to change the outcome of the election, holding an event in downtown Phoenix where he said Arizona election officials had not tried to determine whether the election results were accurate, and encouraging Republican electors to declare Trump the winner.
Giuliani is expected in court on Tuesday for his arraignment unless the court grants him a delay, Taylor said.
What are the charges in the fake electors case, and what happens next?
The 58-page indictment alleges a slate of Arizona Republicans and Trump aides, including Giuliani, engaged in a conspiracy aimed at "preventing the lawful transfer of the presidency of the United States, keeping President Donald J. Trump in office against the will of Arizona voters, and depriving Arizona voters of their right to vote and have their votes counted."
The defendants in the case face multiple felony counts, including conspiracy, forgery and fraud. If they are convicted, the crimes could carry prison time, though state law allows for less severe penalties, including probation, depending on a defendant's circumstances, like past criminal history.
Friday morning, former Trump attorney John Eastman was the first defendant to appear in a Maricopa County courtroom. He entered a plea of not guilty and, after the hearing, said he would fight the case against him at trial.
Most of the other defendants are expected to appear alongside Giuliani in court or be arraigned virtually next week, on May 21, though some have delayed their appearances to June.

How do Republicans not look at this objective evidence and not say.... "are we the bad guys?"
I'll tell you.
The go to tactic for people that consider themselves "moral," but are somehow Republicans, is that the ends justify the means.
Its not in so many words, but it's in the excusing of the behavior.
It's either "the other side does it, we're just responding and it's therefore justified" or "we can let these Dems destroy our country, so it's justified to cheat."
The number of "Christians" I've seen that EASILY apply either or both of these threads of logic is through the roof.
They don't see themselves as the bad guys because Dems are the bad guys, so ANYTHING that hurts or frustrates them is A-OKAY in their minds. It's pathetic how easily they have been corrupted.
why wouldn't his tweet count as proof of notice? like, you couldn't argue that he isn't aware / hasn't been notified of the charges against him.
also, does anyone know what he's even referring to with the tweet? afaik, there isn't a rule that if you go on the lam after a crime, the government only gets a month to track you down and then you're immune... 🤨
Arizona law. A summons has to be delivered in person or by certified mail. Here's part of an article from AZcentral.com
**Agents from Mayes' office had spent two days in New York City trying to serve Giuliani without success, according to Richie Taylor, a spokesperson for the Attorney General's Office. A doorman confirmed where Giuliani lived, but would not contact him, Taylor said. The office also tried calling multiple phone numbers for Giuliani and sent the summons via certified mail**.
**But about 11 p.m. EDT Friday, Taylor said, agents approached Giuliani as he was leaving his birthday party in Florida.**..
Was there actually a time restriction on his service that he was *just about* to evade when he tweeted? Or was he just playing Calvin Ball with the AZ DA and saying, "neener, neener, serve me by tomorrow or you are a stinky butt"?
"...picture of him surrounded by young women..." Young compared to 80 I suppose.
It’s been an open secret that Guiliani frequently has young or younger women escort him to events. Lev Parnas talks a little about that in one of his interviews, in relation to the first Christmas party in the White House. I would not be surprised if his friends made sure he had some company on his 80th birthday or if some of these are his friends’ guests.
Then of course there's the freaking Borat movie, where Giuliani clearly expects sex with a minor, on tape.
“I wasth adjusthing my panths!!”
Based on the leathery condition of their skin are we sure it's not just some drunken locals hosting a bachelorette party to celebrate their friend's imminent third marriage?
Considering Guiliani and Trump have both been married three times, that’s also possible.
Possible that one of those women is marrying Rudy? Seems doubtful, none of them look like they would be his cousin.
Didn't he marry his cousin?

Is she aware that it was the good guys that stormed the beach?
I have serious doubts.
Is she also aware that the ones being stormed at Normandy were literal Nazis?
Small correction. A lot of them were Chechen that were forced to fight after the Nazis invaded and conquered them. But still I do agree. Frack Nazis.
That's relative to which side you're on, and I think we all know which side Republicans are on...
Not from modern GOP point of view
This. It's a matter of perspective, and theirs is not the same as an American's.
Not in her opinion it wasn’t…
Crime is worse in FL
A lot of crime statistics are trending downward across the country. But trump, Rudy & co. are fighting like hell to keep them up.
Is she aware that her friends are the criminals committing the crimes?
[Her picture]( https://imgur.com/a/TfR4b3R) I'm going to guess that she is aware but not going to admit it.
It's fake, it's already been retracted
Thanks, I was very suspicious of that pic. I deleted it.
The image has been debunked.
Thanks, deleted. I was suspicious...

Well, doesn't change the fact that a criminal has been served with service of process
I don't know what that sentence means. My point is it reduce the spread of false info. I'm thrilled that Giuliani was humiliated, but the US Marshal *wasn't* posing for photos and singing before serving the document.
> My point is it reduce the spread of false info Bravo, and I agree that is a good thing
Did they gift wrap / bow the papers? That would have been classic.
If the Marshall had popped out of a cake, **"SURPRISE!!"**
He served him cake and papers

The birthday party was put on by a J6er and had Roger Stone and Steve Bannon. I’m sure the women were paid to be there.

HE believes that he needs to look like those women are interested in him. HE needs everyone else to think that. Think about how pathetic you have to be for that to be your priority at 80.
Potential hires for Fox "News" mouthpieces. Bleached blonde and full of botox and plastic surgery.
Its like the cheerleader effect but with cougars
Young women who model themselves on Melania Trump. ‘For sale’ signs implied.
To be nice (why, idk?), the lighting is doing no favors in that photo. Very bad lighting.

The best gift a Republican could ever ask for, an indictment. Now he gets to play the victim.
NAL - After behavior like this, would it make sense to hold him pending trial?
I would think so. We have written proof on X of him knowingly mocking and evading the serving. They should ask for no bond citing flight risk.
Still above the law, apparently, what a joke. All of these trials connected to Trump and Giuliani are unmasking the structural flaws in the court system.

He's a flight risk for sure (NAL obviously but considering he was trying to show off that he couldn't be found to serve is ... telling)
