Trump frequently posts video clips of Hilton&#8217;s drooling homages to Trump on Twitter. He&#8217;s done so twenty-two times this year. And each one of them show Hilton delivering glassy-eyed, pro-Trump monologues and discussions with equally adoring Trump sycophants. <em>(Posted below is an example of a recent one, if you have the stomach for it)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Which makes Giuliani&#8217;s latest outrage seem all the more preposterous. Rudy lashed out at Hilton for remarks he made that were indeed somewhat less than flattering. The comments came even as Trump himself was gingerly trying to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-distances-himself-from-giulianis-ukraine-efforts\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">put some distance<\/a><\/strong> between himself and his smarmy lawyer whose dealings with Ukraine are being scrutinized by the feds. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/rudy-giuliani-threatens-to-sue-fox-news-host-steve-hilton-for-calling-him-part-of-the-swamp\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Hilton said<\/a><\/strong> in part that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cThere\u2019s a swamp going on with the commercial interest of Rudy Giuliani&#8230; He\u2019s going around trying to make business deals out of the Ukraine situation, at the same time as acting for his client, President Trump. He\u2019s trying to make money off his relationship with President Trump.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When Trump was asked about these matters, he told reporters that they would have to <em>&#8220;talk to Rudy.&#8221;<\/em> Which is a typical dodge that Trump uses when he&#8217;s about to shove someone under an oncoming bus. Hilton&#8217;s commentary actually contained some pretty tame criticisms for behavior that could possibly make Giuliani a felon. But Giuliani can hardly attack Trump, so went after Hilton instead:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Since representing Trump I have considered and turned down all deals in Ukraine, even those not presenting a conflict. <\/p>\n<p>Lawyers tell me <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveHiltonx?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SteveHiltonx<\/a> is a wild card and I should sue him for libel. <\/p>\n<p>He recklessly disregarded the truth!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rudy W. Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RudyGiuliani\/status\/1201526340958244864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Rudy is considering suing Fox News? That would be interesting. How would Trump&#8217;s State TV network respond to being sued by his personal attorney? Could Trump continue to appear on Fox while his lawyer is suing them? And you have to wonder what lawyers Giuliani was referring to as having advised him that he could sue Fox. After all, he is a lawyer himself who is often on Fox. And his closest legal associates are, like him, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=43273\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">TV lawyers who have little litigation experience<\/a><\/strong>. They are people like Mark Levin and Gregg Jarrett and Jay Sekulow &#8211; all regulars on Fox News, the network that is the target of Giuliani&#8217;s litigation threat.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell where this goes. In all likelihood Giuliani will forget about it before long. Like his easily triggered client, Giuliani is prone to lunatic outbursts in the heat of anger. But they rarely lead to anything, because they rarely have any substance behind them. Still, the circular firing squad formation that forms among these toy soldiers is fun to watch.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;The Truth About Impeachment&quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SteveHiltonx?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SteveHiltonx<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NextRevFNC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NextRevFNC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3Pe2zClfUK\">pic.twitter.com\/3Pe2zClfUK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J.
