How Trump’s free personal lawyer’s post 9-11 profiteering is a NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS.
In this video & thread, investigative legal analyst @tracygreen documents Giuliani’s BIG GREASY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
1/ SHREWDY RUDY: Watch the video: it’s a fast seven minutes, and it lays out each hat Giuliani wears—the ones that we know of—and the explosive conflicts of interest.
2/ KOMPROCATIONS: White collar crime expert and veteran trial lawyer @tracygreen asked a very simple question: who’s Giuliani working for... the answer is, well, komprocated.
3/ THE HAT TRICK: As @tracygreen began tallying the numbers, nine was her initial tally. But since Giuliani doesn’t do disclosures—we’ll get to that—the actual number may be cranked up to 11.
4/ THE OPPORTUNIST: Personally, I was shocked to learn that Giuliani built quite the empire profiteering off the tragedy of 9-11. Who knew
Check out first four hats:
1. Giuliani Security Crisis Mngt
2. Trump freebie
3. Lawyer for foreign & domestic clients
4. Giuliani & Co LLC

5/ LOSS LEADER: Hats five through seven are revealing, as doing free p.r. for his pal Trump is looking like quite the loss leader.
5. High-buck speaker—except free for Trump
6. GOP fundraiser & campaigner (who ran for Pres. and Senate)
7. “Informal” Gov’t Cyber Security Advisor

6/ RUDY CONFIDENTIAL: So let’s examine the year 2006-2007—Giuliani was paid $11 million dollars for speeches.
In the fake email below, we illustrate the stark reality of Giuliani accepting money to give speeches for foreign entities while working for Trump.
That’s problematic.

7/ WONKS WANNA KNOW: Before we reveal more hats, let’s get wonky.
As Trump’s personal attorney, communications are secret. Who pays his Ukraine investigation expenses? Who paid for his indicted gofers expenses? Rudy says “none of your business” but the ethical issues loom large.

8/ GIFT HORSE: @tracygreen says: “To analyze the ethics of Trump accepting Rudy’s gifts, we need answers to basic questions—who are Rudy’s clients, will Rudy deduct the expenses of his gifts to Trump, did they exchange gifts before and what’s the value of free legal svs? A mill?”
9/ GIULIANI & SON: So now that we revealed the komprocations posed by hats 1-7, let’s see what’s behind hat number eight.
Shocked not shocked: nepotism.
8. The “dad” hat: Giuliani’s son the golfer works directly for Trump in the White House.

10/ F.O.G. HAT: Coming it at No. 9 is the “Friends of Giuliani” hat. If you make the cut, you too coulda received Big Money from Giuliani now-indicted Soviet born gofers.
Just ask Pete Sessions.

11/ RE-CAP: Nine hats, and a whole lotta lack of transparency led @tracygreen to pursue Giuliani’s missing chapeaux.
12/ FARA-WAY: Hats 10 & 11 are murky but what’s under the brim
10. Lobbyist? Does Rudy work for Trump for free to avoid registering as a lobbyist?
11. FARA Agent? He appears to be acting as a lobbyist for foreign nationals, co.’s & govts. So why isn’t he registered under FARA?

13/ FRAUD GUARANTEE: The many, many, many hats of Rudy Giuliani—9 that we know of and possibly 11—reveal profound entanglements, huge conflicts of interest and massive national security risks.

Q1 Con.

HSC: Giuliani’s son works for Trump.
@tracygreen “His son has no prior pol experience. It’s all about loyalty. Rudy can tell clients/govts ‘my son works in the White House.’ I wonder how much confidential information Andrew ends up having that can benefit his father.”
