Rudy's response





He has a bad knee.  

Did he explain why his pants were unzipped?



Understandable.  Unzipped pants don't usually warrant an FBI or DOJ investigation.

And, speaking of Rudy's inability to keep up with his phones, even while he's Trump's cybersecurity expert, here's Olivia a month ago:
This fall, as Giuliani has emerged as a central figure in the impeachment inquiry, his clumsy phone comportment has often become worldwide news, adding extra absurd wrinkles to the already absurd saga of a quid pro quo in Ukraine and raising questions about how a chronic butt-dialer who wears his AirPods upside down could be a White House cybersecurity adviser.

There was the time he accidentally called NBC’s Rich Schapiro and left a voice-mail in which he could be heard alleging that Joe Biden’s family was corrupt. Or the time he accidentally called Schapiro again and left a voice-mail that documented a conversation about overseas business in which he said, “We need a few hundred thousand.” Or when he texted Axios’ Jonathan Swan a voice recording in which he could be heard “talking to a guy,” as Swan described it. “I couldn’t make any sense of it or figure out how he managed to text me a recording inadvertently.” Or when he mistakenly texted what appeared to be a password to reporter Roger Sollenberger.

Giuliani is probably the most accessible star of an international political scandal in modern history, open to corresponding directly with almost anyone, anytime, telling them information that may be repetitive or mundane but that just as likely may be a real development in the story that determines the future of this presidency. (Trump, too, is known for compulsively using his phone, but to make phone calls, not text.) On big news days in Washington, it can feel like everybody is texting with Giuliani at the same time — and sometimes it’s because we are. Or we sure hope it’s Giuliani we’re talking to. “He changes numbers somewhat randomly,” one White House reporter said, “so you never really know if you’re texting the right number.” Personally, I have half a dozen numbers for Giuliani saved.

Apparently, frequently switching numbers allows him to believe he's a super cyber guy. Or just a super important guy. Or maybe a criminal?
Giuliani uses iMessage, and, like so many men over 50 who work for Trump, he has read receipts enabled and often uses iMessage’s reaction feature to like questions sent to him instead of providing an answer. Just as often, he likes his own messages. On one occasion, he scrolled back an entire day in our conversation to add a like to a message of his own. He didn’t explain why. “It’s unclear what it means,” the White House reporter said before recounting a similarly odd, like-related experience. “He once liked a question I sent him about him being accused of illegal lobbying, and then he didn’t respond to the question about lobbying.”
You think he uses those likes as bookmarks for things he wants to use later?

Somebody get the net.
