Rudy Giuliani (almost definitely) farted while flailing to overturn Michigan election results
A simple truth: Farts are funny. Try as you might, no one — no person with a shred of humanity — is immune to laughing at a toot.
And Rudy Giuliani — President Donald Trump's grease-dripping lawyer and loyal sycophant — ripping ass during a hearing? That's just plain hilarious.
OK, so we can't fully prove it was definitely Giuliani that let one loose, but it sure as hell seems like it. First, all credit must be given to the good folks over at Gizmodo, who first heard the flatulence and clipped video from a long hearing in Michigan about the 2020 election that Trump lost.
But if you go to the 4:11:41 mark in this video, I mean...there is definitely a squeaker. It's so...farty...it almost sounds fake.
Funnily enough, and apparently still gaseous, just before the 4:13:00 mark, there is another comically loud fart sound in the video. Again, it's not definite that Giuliani passed gas — we weren't in the room to smelt who dealt — but it sure seems like it.

Giuliani's co-counsel, Jenna Ellis, even seems to give her counterpart a grossed-out "dude, you beefed" look.
One moment Giuliani is asking Michigan Representative Darrin Camilleri "be disciplined for" bringing up reports that Giuliani wants Trump to gift him a pre-emptive pardon, the next moment there's audible gas.
This is took place in front of the Michigan House Oversight Committee, to whom Giuliani slung his normal crap about election fraud that even Attorney General Bill Barr admits has no basis in reality. The fact that Giuliani (likely) added some farts to that overall farce, well, it's kind of perfect.
