One of the most complex questions of our time is this: What exactly is Rudy Giuliani trying to accomplish? An answer does not emerge in his interview with The New Yorker: Even If He Did Do It, It Wouldn’t Be a Crime. When asked by Isaac Chotiner if saying things for Trump and not always being truthful about it made Rudy worry that this will be his legacy, Giuliani responded: “Absolutely. I am afraid it will be on my gravestone. ‘Rudy Giuliani: He lied for Trump.’ Somehow, I don’t think that will be it. But, if it is, so what do I care? I’ll be dead. I figure I can explain it to St. Peter.” (Unless St Peter is the name of a new morning show on Fox News, I don’t think anyone will be convinced…)
