Fortunately for us, YOU don't get to determine 'connotations", definitions or inferences for everyone else.

No Leftists get to do that.

However there are some definitions so old, so established and so true that they bear keeping in mind:

U.S. investigators are seeking to review Rudy Giuliani's phones and computers for communications with more than a dozen people, including a high-ranking prosecutor in Ukraine, according to a warrant executed at his apartment this week.

They also are searching for communications with any U.S. government official or employee relating to Marie Yovanovitch, the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine who was ousted by the Trump administration in 2019, the warrant says. . . .

This 5 minute "read" is the next best thing to having been a "fly on the wall" when FBI agents executed search warrants at Rudy Giuliani's Manhattan apartment home and office, seizing more than 10 cell phones and computers.

According to the warrant, investigators are looking for evidence that Giuliani acted as an unregistered foreign agent, a violation of lobbying laws.


I think there's likely something more in store for "Rudy G." More than just a single charge of not registering as a foreign agent.

Unregistered foreign agent.

Meanwhile the richest lobbying group in America is AIPAC, and they don't have to register as a foreign lobbying agency. Because they buy off politicians. The rest they threaten with political force to resist having to register.

Clown world.

By that whackadoodle "logic", YOU are obviously a closet, Putin loving, Russian with an big affection for former President Trump.

Let's get something else crystal clear for you. My username on this forum is: randye

You do not have my permission to call me anything other than that.

If that is a problem for you we will take it up with Cliff Pennock and I'm sure you will not like the result.

WaPo, NYT and NBC News have all retracted on something in their reporting on Rudy Giuliani. That Giuliani received a defensive briefing from the FBI about Russian-backed disinformation efforts from people that Giuliani might have been working with. He did not receive such a briefing from the FBI.


quote
NBC News said in its correction that its story "was based on a source familiar with the matter, but a second source now says the briefing was only prepared for Giuliani and not delivered to him, in part over concerns it might complicate the criminal investigation of Giuliani."

"Washington Post, New York Times, and NBC News retract reports on Giuliani"

Ah.....remember the good old days when reporters used multiple sources to verify their information before it was released for public consumption?

Propaganda does not need to be verified.

Propaganda is only ever "retracted" if it serves the purpose of the propagandist.
