Walking, talking Drudge siren Rudy Giuliani is still out here doing his best imitation of an attorney who thinks he's really smart but is actually tanking his client's defense. Case in point: inadvertently creating a url in a Twitter typo that's then used to bash his client President Donald Trump.

On Friday, Giuliani sent the following tweet, which is your typical pro-Trump madlib about the Mueller investigation.

It seems Giuliani inadvertently created a live ".in" link that originally went to nowhere when he forgot to put a space after the first period in his tweet. But over the weekend, as Trump was randomly wandering off stage in the middle of a G-20 event, someone commandeered that http://G-20.In website and made it a new, anti-Trump redirect.

Pretty succinct.

Giuliani has a thing about bad tweets and it was all on display here. Not content to simply create the accidental URL that would be used against his client, Giuliani retweeted that tweet.

And as if retweeting yourself isn't thirsty enough, he dropped yet another gibberish tweet for the world to decipher.

According to GoDaddy, Jason Velazquez with Atlanta-based company Pixel Riot registered the domain on Nov. 30, the same day Giuliani sent that tweet. Which means the link wasn't an inside job perpetrated by the Deep State, just another indelible 2018 highlight from America's Mayor, a true political altruist.
