It's become well known that the Malignant Loser's unhinged, reckless consigliere Rudy "Toot Toot" Giuliani is fond of Scotch, among other libations. His frequent intoxication has the interest of Federal prosecutors investigating the 2020 Presidential election fraud perpetrated by Giuliani and others operating on behalf, and at the direction of, the Malignant Loser. From the New York Times:
"For more than a decade, friends conceded grimly, Mr. Giuliani’s drinking had been a problem. And as he surged back to prominence during the presidency of Donald J. Trump, it was getting more difficult to hide it.
On some nights when Mr. Giuliani was overserved, an associate discreetly signaled the rest of the club, tipping back his empty hand in a drinking motion, out of the former mayor’s line of sight, in case others preferred to keep their distance. Some allies, watching Mr. Giuliani down Scotch before leaving for Fox News interviews, would slip away to find a television, clenching through his rickety defenses of Mr. Trump. [snip]
...to almost anyone in proximity, friends say, Mr. Giuliani’s drinking has been the pulsing drumbeat punctuating his descent — not the cause of his reputational collapse but the ubiquitous evidence, well before Election Day in 2020, that something was not right with the former president’s most incautious lieutenant.
Now, prosecutors in the federal election case against Mr. Trump have shown an interest in the drinking habits of Mr. Giuliani — and whether the former president ignored what his aides described as the plain inebriation of the former mayor referred to in court documents as 'Co-Conspirator 1.'"

The hair dye leaking loon has disgraced himself numerous times over the past few years: think of the attempt to smear President Biden by working with a Russian agent in Ukraine, or his absurd Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference, or his cameo in a Borat movie where he thinks an underage girl is attracted to him and he begins to fondle himself. On and on. His apparent alcoholism has driven much of it, in addition to his need to be in the spotlight and feel important again.
The significance of Giuliani's drunkenness, in the context of the Malignant Loser's defense, is described in the article:
"The office of the special counsel, Jack Smith, has questioned witnesses about Mr. Giuliani’s alcohol consumption as he was advising Mr. Trump, including on election night, according to a person familiar with the matter. Mr. Smith’s investigators have also asked about Mr. Trump’s level of awareness of his lawyer’s drinking as they worked to overturn the election and prevent Joseph R. Biden Jr. from being certified as the 2020 winner at almost any cost. (A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment.)
The answers to those prompts could complicate any efforts by Mr. Trump’s team to lean on a so-called advice-of-counsel defense, a strategy that could portray him as a client merely taking professional cues from his lawyers. If such guidance came from someone whom Mr. Trump knew to be compromised by alcohol, especially when many others told Mr. Trump definitively that he had lost, his argument could weaken."

Giuliani is facing financial ruin from legal expenses and from pending lawsuits against him for defamation, including Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic. We hope he's held fully accountable for his actions.
