Joshua J. Friedman: Giuliani doesn’t have a lawyer yet but says he’ll get one. He says the state hasn’t yet given him a copy of the indictment, but he has a “general familiarity” with the charges from reading the news. (via Jeremy Duda, Axios)

NEW: The Arizona AG's office is asking for a $10,000 bond for Rudy Giuliani—they didn't seek a bond for any other defendant—because of his evading service. (via Jeremy Duda, Axios)

AZ AG's office: “He has shown no intent to comply with the legal process in Arizona.” Giuliani: “I haven’t been hiding from anyone.” Giuliani says access to his apt is restricted because he gets a lot of threats. He says the Iranian government tried to kill him 4 years ago. (via Jeremy Duda)

Giuliani: “I do consider this indictment an embarrassment to the American legal system,” but I always show up. After a while the court commissioner tells Giuliani he needs to stop talking or she’ll mute him. Giuliani gets a $10,000 secured appearance bond. (via Jeremy Duda, Axios)

Missed this before, via Will Steakin: Giuliani at the start of his arraignment in AZ: "I'm sorry I'm late, I got the time wrong." Giuliani is appearing via Zoom. Giuliani seemed to leave his mic on while on hold, and it appeared to pick up some ... water sounds? Something you'd hear in a bathroom.

Lordy, there are tapes (Rudy Giuliani appears via videoconference for his AZ arraignment, with mysterious water-like sounds in background) x.com/wsteaks/stat...

rudy adjacent numbers can relax now. 😏

I would not have guessed that a criminal arraignment would use Microsoft Teams. Kind of a surreal moment.

rudy was in the tub i guess, glad it was audio only

when does the pee start?

...asking for a friend

that guy doesn’t care in the slightest about anything it seems, not even an arraignment

Being drunk 24/7 is good for that

on information and belief that sound is piss

Life is stranger than fiction. Also Rudy is a performance artist.

WTF!? Are you kidding?

The guy's a class act

Couldn’t remember his name for the life of me but absolutely remember this is how he did himself in.

Watching The Jinx season 2 while the Trump trial goes on makes me certain that being the eldest son of a New York real estate family makes you a broken person.

This is not the pee tape we need, but this is the pee tape we deserve

Given everything we've learned about ol' Rudy these past few years, I think we're lucky he's using a toilet at all. Besides, let he among us who has not opportunistically peed during a Zoom meeting cast the first stone.

Joshua, I love what you do here but there are some things we don't need to be kept up to date on. Ah fuck it. Odds Rudy makes itto trial befit he accidental does his pants on camera?

Yeah, it's the indictment that's the embarrassment

It's just drippings from his head, no need for bathroom humor sir.

Is this man for real

Who could imagine Rudy not understanding Zoom? Oh wait, everybody? OK then.

Remember this shit?

The Iranians tried to kill him? Why? Killing people won't get you on my good side, even if it Rudy.

Maybe they got stuck in an elevator with him once, that’d do it

Iran ordered hits on a lot of top Trump folks after Soleimani. They haven't seemed to have much success so far though.

It is regrettably still firmly in our national interest to protect these people from stuff like that.

I consider a man of law hiding from the law to be most embarrassing.

did he literally post on social media, bragging that he was hiding? wtf

Yes!

he's a human face palm.

To be immediately followed by his tweets taunting the Arizona AG.

jeremy how could you

I feel like Giuliani undermined his “I haven’t been hiding” argument when he did that tweet about “lol you losers haven’t been able to serve me that means I win lololol”

He thinks he's untouchable. First night behind bars will be hard

Also from doing the crimes

Oh is he gonna claim no proper service?
