Of course the nature of the travel was very different.

In two recent interviews, Mr. Giuliani, 72, said his years of work as an international security consultant make him uniquely suited for the job in the Trump administration, along with the hard lessons he learned as mayor of a city that sustained the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil on Sept. 11, 2001.

“I probably have traveled in the last 13 years as much as Hillary did in the years she was secretary of state,” Mr. Giuliani said, in a reference to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who lost the presidential race to Mr. Trump. “My knowledge of foreign policy is as good, or better, than anybody they’re talking to,” he said…

Mr. Giuliani has ties to TriGlobal Strategic Ventures, a consulting firm that aids Russian companies and has links to the Kremlin. According to the company’s website, the firm arranged in 2004 for Mr. Giuliani to travel to Moscow and meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and “other prominent Russian politicians and businessmen.” The firm also arranged other visits for Mr. Giuliani to visit Ukraine and Russia.

Mr. Giuliani said he had never lobbied the American government or anyone else on behalf of other countries or companies. According to a disclosure form he filed in 2007 for his failed bid for president, he took home $9.2 million for more than 100 speeches in 2006 and early 2007 after fees collected by the Washington Speakers Bureau.

The 2006 disclosure, the most detailed accounting of Mr. Giuliani’s business dealings since leaving the mayor’s office, shows that his income that year was $16.1 million, including from the speeches and partnerships. Among the groups that he appeared before are  General Motors Co., Shell Oil, Oklahoma State University, Merrill Lynch and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

    waaa waaa! OMG this is the most pathetic group of assholes ever. just flush the toilet already, get rid of them. they are going to tear this country apart so bad, we’re gonna look like 3rd world.

    Using that logic, let’s make Hillary’s luggage Secretary of State. It travelled as much as she did, and won’t do nearly as much damage as he would.

    He should be the ambassador to the UK – his teeth look like a deserted graveyard.

    Giuliani for SOS? What’s next? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d3ccacb14466955491c7a41402cfa9b8ddf0753cf357d2e6e4595fd7a2eb84e1.jpg

      Is Bernie Jewish? He’d be perfect, trump said he likes guys with yarmulkes counting his money.

    every pick is just as stupid as the first. Sessions wants to amend the constitution to STOP granting US citizenship to people born in the US. if anyone can make sense of that and explain it, i suggest you seek mental help.

      They don’t like the fact that so many brown babies are born here and become citizens. Not white enough, you know.

      I guess Jeb was wrong, trump did insult his way to the Presidency. Too bad we don’t put enough money in education, that never would of been true if we had.

    Giuliani has my vote. When their party self-destructs, I want it to go down in a way that would make Armageddon look like a walk in the park. To do that, the cream of the republicans crop need to be sitting at the top and I will sit back and watch then destroy themselves.

      I think what you’re talking about here is actually the “cream” of the “crap.”

      • Suzanne McFly November 26th, 2016 at 19:40

        That sounds like a better description to me too

    • fahvel November 27th, 2016 at 03:58

      oh my! please send me a front row ticket!!!!

    Millions for speeches and sucking up to the largest country in the world run by organized crime and a lot of his travel covered by corporations that fund biased fake news outlets and ”think tanks”. Join the polar bear club nearest you Rudy Two Face and take a dip in the Hudson.

    • whatthe46 November 26th, 2016 at 18:15

      and then he and all the republiklans can toast to some Michigan water.

      • Warman1138 November 26th, 2016 at 18:41

        And I’ll toss in an ice cube.

  9. Willys41 November 26th, 2016 at 18:29

    Does anybody really give a crap what Rudy says about anything?

  10. fahvel November 27th, 2016 at 04:02

    why did people pay him to speak? other than being in nyc at a bad time and criminalizing looking like a bad guy, what did he do? NYC, maybe a small police state that couldn’t last,seems not to be a legacy of any value. So, again, someone tell me what qualifies this yammerer for anything worth millions.

    What did Giuliani do after 9/11? Nothing except take credit for all the work the search and rescue teams did.
