Disgraced lawyer #RudyGiuliani is set to meet with #FultonCounty #DistrictAttorney #FaniWillis in #Georgia on Wednesday, presumably to discuss bond provisions relating to 13 #racketeering and other felony charges he faces, @CNNNetwork reports. Why #Giuliani is flying down to personally discuss the terms is unknown, although he could just walk over to the jail once an agreement is reached. And curiously, Giuliani is taking fellow felon #BernieKerik with him.

👀 "#Trump ally #BernieKerik met Monday with special counsel #JackSmith’s investigators who are handling the probe related to the 2020 election aftermath and the #Jan6, 2021, insurrection.

The interview largely focused on what Trump’s former attorney Rudy #Giuliani did to prove that really won the election..." https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/07/politics/bernie-kerik-trump-grand-jury/index.html

#BernieKerik had plan 2 keep former President #Trump in office after losing #2020election — & he knew how much it would cost. Roughly.

Per an email surfaced in #defamation #lawsuit brought against #RudyGiuliani, Kerik wrote 2 then-White House #ChiefOfStaff #MarkMeadows in a Dec. 28, 2020 missive that he would need “between $5 to $8M” to put plan into action that would pressure state legislators into throwing their electors behind Trump.
