It's ironic that as a prosecutor and mayor Giuliani built his reputation on creating a spectacle around criminal defendants — and now he's a criminal defendant creating a spectacle around himself. He could've avoided this by refraining from purposely avoiding the authorities. Instead, he's been served with more surely to come.
The Arizona AG's office's attempt to embarrass Giuliani and ruin his birthday party failed. He had an incredible time on his big night and the serving of his indictment was nothing but a minor distraction and a publicity stunt. Giuliani looks forward to being vindicated as the case plays out.
There's a 5% chance that Donald J. Trump will be convicted of at least one count in his federal court cases before the end of 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
