Giuliani Decides To Turn Alleged Kiddie Porn Over To Cops After All

Good plan, Mister Mayor!

“They’ve set up an Iron Curtain so you can’t get out the New York Post story which I happened to know is 100 percent accurate,” America’s Mayor told a North Dakota radio host on Tuesday. “But even if it isn’t accurate, the American people are entitled to know it.”

Is there a First Amendment right to slander the children of your political opponent, or … ?

Never mind.

Rudy Giuliani’s fantastic claims about Hunter Biden abandoning a laptop containing evidence of extensive corruption in a repair shop 3,000 miles away from his home in California have landed with a thud. Apparently, no one believes that Hunter Biden used his laptop to text “his siblings” (wait, he only has one surviving sibling!) bitching about having to “collect money for his father, take care of the family expenses, and kick back half of it to Joe Biden. For 30 years.” Hunter Biden is 50, so apparently he’s had to pay a vig to the old man since college. Harsh!

Even though Giuliani admitted that he chose the New York Post because “either nobody else would take it, or if they took it, they would spend all the time they could to try to contradict it before they put it out,” multiple reporters at the outlet refused to put their names on an unvetted story with such obvious credibility problems. The Post found its Twitter account throttled, with most social media platforms limiting the spread of the story, and despite Fox hyping the story all hours of the day — a story the network itself passed on as beneath its own journalistic standards — it’s having no effect on the race.

So Giuliani and the Mensa Squad have kicked it up another notch. What if … KIDDIE PORN? Hey, it’s working for the Q-anon loons. Why not, right?

Hence Giuliani’s seamless pivot to the “Hunter Biden: Sex Pervert” storyline.

And if you can’t trust One America News Network, who can ya trust?

The problem, as we pointed out on Monday, is that possession of child pornography is a crime. So if Rudy and the gang have been making copies and passing this stuff around for weeks without notifying law enforcement, they might be in deep shit themselves.

Which may or may not have been the impetus for Giuliani’s field trip, accompanied by the ever-upstanding Bernie Kerik (he was pardoned!), to visit the New Castle County Police Department and turn over whatever he’s got.

That’s Giuliani sharing with a Newsmax anchor what is either a hacked or fake text of Hunter Biden explaining that his sister-in-law was worried about the impact of his drug use on his children. It is clearly an excruciatingly painful family conflict, but in no way suggests the existence of child pornography. Nonetheless, Giuliani intones ominously that “this is supported by numerous pictures of underage girls.”

If the subpoena published by the New York Post is genuine, then the FBI has had these documents since late 2019, and no arrests have occurred. But if anyone’s taking advantage of a child, it’s Giuliani and the Post, which used a family photo of Hunter Biden and his minor children, their faces completely unpixelated, to “authenticate” its story.

Local law enforcement seems to have been underwhelmed by Giuliani and Kerik’s shocking, belated disclosures, swiftly lobbing Rudy’s printouts back into the FBI’s court.

“In light of ongoing questions about the credibility of these claims and multiple reports that the FBI is investigating their veracity, law enforcement is referring this matter to the FBI,” the Delaware Department of Justice said in a statement to The Daily Beast.

But speaking of ill-advised images, The Guardian got a look at the new Borat movie, and …. UHHHH.

In the film, released on Friday, the former New York mayor and current personal attorney to Donald Trump is seen reaching into his trousers and apparently touching his genitals while reclining on a bed in the presence of the actor playing Borat’s daughter, who is posing as a TV journalist.

Following an obsequious interview for a fake conservative news programme, the pair retreat at her suggestion for a drink to the bedroom of a hotel suite, which is rigged with concealed cameras.

After she removes his microphone, Giuliani, 76, can be seen lying back on the bed, fiddling with his untucked shirt and reaching into his trousers. They are then interrupted by Borat who runs in and says: “She’s 15. She’s too old for you.”

Criminy.
