Two days before FBI director James Comey rocked the world last week, Rudy Giuliani was on Fox, where he volunteered, un-prodded by any question: āI think heās [Donald Trump] got a surprise or two that youāre going to hear about in the next few days. I mean, Iām talking about some pretty big surprises.ā
Pressed for specifics, he said: āWeāve got a couple of things up our sleeve that should turn this thing around.ā
The man who now leads ālock-her-upā chants at Trump rallies spent decades of his life as a federal prosecutor and then mayor working closely with the FBI, and especially its New York office. One of Giulianiās security firms employed a former head of the New York FBI office, and other alumni of it. It was agents of that office, probing Anthony Weinerās alleged sexting of a minor, who pressed Comey to authorize the review of possible Hillary Clinton-related emails on a Weiner device that led to the explosive letter the director wrote Congress.
