A new Rudy scandal: FBI agent says Giuliani was co-opted by Russian intelligence - Lemmy.world

>In July, Buma sent the Senate Judiciary Committee a 22-page statement full of eye-popping allegations, and the document leaked and was first reported last month by Insider (after a conservative blogger had posted it online). According to Buma’s account, Giuliani was used as an asset by a Ukrainian oligarch tied to Russian intelligence and other Russian operatives for a disinformation operation that aimed to discredit Joe Biden and boost Trump in the 2020 presidential race. Moreover, Buma says he was the target of retaliation within the bureau for digging into this.

before Rudi was mayor, he was helping clean up the Italian mafia in NYC.. the Russian mafia filled a bunch of the vacuum left behind, and Rudi and the Russians have been friends ever since for some reason..

It had been reported that the Russian mafia were feeding information to Giuliani on the Italian mob. It was how Guiliani was able to make his cases, build his reputation to become “America’s mayor”, AND also compromised him to become a Russian asset. The story was reported a long while ago, and I don’t remember which journalist(s) broke the story or who they wrote for, nor their reliability, anymore, but recall them as very highly rated as accurate in their facts.

Appreciate that but gonna need some facts to support that one. If nobody is reporting it (other than you) then it is hard to believe, as much as I would like to.

We still gotta see receipts. If it was reported on it will be on the internet. Rudy is a shit bag but we don’t gotta make up stuff if there’s no proof there’s plenty there already for us to go on

I’m making an assumption by asking for some proof? Mate idk what you’re going on about lol
Show threadtheodewereSep 2, 2023
yeah, you're assuming it's made up because YOU don't have what you call proof, whatever that is.. i'm still trying to figure out what receipts you're imagining.. you think they went to Niagara Falls together or something? go get us the proof you need, detective, if you need some more proof.. get on those receipts..

You’re right my man, we need to see what they’re talking about. Never believe what some random dude just comments online with no reputable source material other than “I read it somewhere, trust me man”.

I tried to find my reading, but the post was too long ago for my searches to pull it up. Some supporting facts did turn up. ^1^ The Russian mob was warring with the Italian mob over turf at the time. ^2^ No Russians were indicted in NY at the time, though, by my search of records. ^3^ The KGB were looking for assets, and Giuliani would be a plum target. ^4^ The KGB’s MO is to find kompromat and keeps its victims ensnared, once they get compromising info. (Spy craft that all sides exploit.) ^5^ Giuliani needed money, even then, for his lawyer(s) and his first divorce settlement. These do not prove anything, but I find nothing that doesn’t raise more suspicions, either.
