The Lincoln Project: 'We are going to sue the s*it out of Rudy Giuliani' (And possibly Donald Trump as well)

During an appearance on Steve Bannon’s podcast today, Rudy Giuliani suggested that the Lincoln Project was somehow partially responsible for the siege of the Capitol on January 6. Have a watch:

I’m sorry, is Rudy saying @ProjectLincoln coordinated groups to turn 1/6 violent? CC @TheRickWilson @gtconway3d pic.twitter.com/9ombA5LD3B

We’ll note that Bannon was clearly not on board with this assertion:

In which Bannon literally laughs at the claim Rudy is making and suggests he maybe knock it off. https://t.co/vksVDXCtqV

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” he said:

Bannon not buying it: “You’ve got to be kidding me.” https://t.co/smsUb5sKZl

And does Rudy actually think this would help Trump at his trial?

So the Giuliani Theory of 1/6 is literally that Antifa allied with the Lincoln Project to storm the Capitol, with the LP bringing in all sorts of anti-Trump right-wing groups to join Antifa.

I don't even know how they could agree on the songs to sing during that bus ride. https://t.co/FsCFuhCeUh

Anyway, it appears the Lincoln Project is preparing to sue the president’s lawyer over this statement:

I have written a prayer “Dear God, please let it be the case that our lawyers see what I see. May we soon be on our way to suing Rudy Guiliani. @ProjectLincoln. I’m pretty sure that since Rudy is Trump’s lawyer we may get to sue Trump also. Praise be.” https://t.co/PdNE2x7TLu

And possibly Trump himself:

It seems my prayers have been answered. Rudy will hear from us soon. But —- Glory Be! Since his is working for Trump in an official capacity he has opened the door to ??? (guess who?) https://t.co/lPZVdsrZqy

“We are going to sue the s*it out of Rudy Giuliani”:

.@TheRickWilson @stuartpstevens @reedgalen @ProjectLincoln . We are going to get to sue the shit out of Rudy Guiliani. I’m so happy that I’m literally choked up.
