Does anyone find it odd that just yesterday, Rudy Giuliani, said "No Go" on Secretary of State?

No one was more vocal in his support of Donald Trump than Rudy Giuliani. How is it that the news of him withdrawing his name for consideration for Secretary of State happen one or two days before this information released from the CIA?

I think this story has legs, and it's going to go all the way up to Donald Trump.

He was told he wasn't going to get it and he pulled out. Pretty ordinary.

I hope he feels betrayal by his good friend Trashpot Trump. I can't even say when you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas...because Rude E had fleas already.

And hopefully he'll be implicated. He ADMITTED he leaked info and had to recant.
