[h=1]Rudy Giuliani butt-dials NBC reporter, heard discussing need for cash and trashing Bidens[/h]“The problem is we need some money,” Giuliani says to unidentified man during accidental call to NBC News writer.

The fact that Giuliani was reaching out wasn’t remarkable. He and the reporter had spoken earlier that night for a story about his ties to a fringe Iranian opposition group.

But this call, it would soon become clear, wasn’t a typical case of a source following up with a reporter.
The call came in at 11:07 p.m. and went to voicemail; the reporter was asleep.
The next morning, a message exactly three minutes long was sitting in his voicemail. In the recording, the words tumbling out of Giuliani’s mouth were not directed at the reporter. He was speaking to someone else, someone in the same room.
Giuliani can be heard discussing overseas dealings and lamenting the need for cash, though it's difficult to discern the full context of the conversation.
...

The voicemail yielded no details about the meeting. But Giuliani can be heard telling the man that he’s “got to call Robert again tomorrow.”
“Is Robert around?” Giuliani asks.
“He’s in Turkey,” the man responds.
Giuliani replies instantly. “The problem is we need some money.”
The two men then go silent. Nine seconds pass. No word is spoken. Then Giuliani chimes in again.
“We need a few hundred thousand,” he says.
It’s unclear what the two men were talking about. But Giuliani is known to have worked closely with a Robert who has ties to Turkey.





This plays like an FBI recording of mobsters discussing their illegal activities. Giuliani isn't the lawyer defending a mob boss. He's part of the mob crime family.
 

I mean, on one hand, I want him in jail, but on the other hand, it's a joy to continue watching him **** up so badly. Wish they'd posted the whole recording though.
 
Giuliani needs his passport revoked...

It essentially is. If he checks in for an international flight, they'll arrest him. He cancelled his trip to Vienna as soon as Parnas and Fruman were arrested at the airport.
 
So many questions. Who is Charles and what fraud? Who is the “we” that needs hundreds of thousands of dollars and for what?
 

To think he was once called Americas Mayor. The man is a leech on Trumps arse.
 
Giuliani is what happens when mediocre men stay in power long after their prime.

Sent from the Matrioshka in the WH Christmas tree.
 
How do we know this is a butt dial?
 
Besides the Ukraine extortion attempt (campaign finance violation), it is surmised in legal circles that Giuliani is also under investigation for FARA violations (i.e. a lobbyist for Turkey).
 
How do we know this is a butt dial?
Well, when one intends to call, they dial and say hello to whoever answers. If it goes into VM, they leave a message. Nobody leaves a 3 hr VM while talking to a 3rd party.
 

It's unclear what is being discussed or why Giuliani needs a few hundred thousand dollars yet, for whatever reason, it's got to be damning and tied to mob activity?

OK. Lock him up and throw away the key. That will be the new standard for butt dialing a business associate.
 

Ah, the trump clown show continues.
 
We don't know exactly, but it sure sounds like it should be investigated. He talks about a few hundred K and Turkey and Bahraini.
What do they have to get on Bahrain?
What fraud case does he mean?

And why does he urgently want to talk to someone who launders money for Iran?
 

Do people usually call someone late at night to talk about fraud and an urgent need for hundreds of thousands of dollars and to speak to a money launderer?
 
Not even the Adorables attempt to defend this Trump stooge.
 

But but but but but Trump is worth ten billion, and he's his own team. Why can't Rudy just get more money from President Stable Genius?

Well, people get called in the middle of the night all the time and that tends to happen a lot when you're dealing with international calls. As far as speaking to a money launderer, I think you may be reading things into the report that aren't there. The report does mention a certaon "Robert" who was a lawyer for someone accused of laundering money to get around sanctions on Iran but it does not say that "Robert" is the money launderer nor does it explicitly state that's even the "Robert" Giuliani is trying to contact.
 
Watergate: "Deep Throat"
Trumpgate: "Deep Butt"
 

He did it twice!

This just confirms that there is no underhanded master plan with some sophisticated operatives and thinking behind it. The Trump organization is just a bunch of incompetent people potentially screwing everthing up at all times.
