Although he be may be the most unabashed conspiracy cheerleader of them all ...

I think it’s called building the case — following the evidence, wherever it may lead …
Especially if we looked at the time-frames in which, these evidence-holding devices were legally acquired. On the orders of judges, convinced of probable cause that crimes had occurred, based on the evidence that the DOJ and the FBI provided.

Thinking that their whiny defense would exonerate him, Giuliani's attorneys use some vivid imagery, that’s probably far more accurate than they intended (sans the Qanon-drug bit) ...
Following the search, Giuliani's attorneys said that federal agents treated their client like a "drug kingpin" rather than a personal attorney to the former president.
Given that Rudy’s devices cache seems to be the 1st Domino in the chain, calling him a “kingpin” may not that far off the mark. All one needs to do, is substitute the phrase “fake conspiracies” for the word “drug” — and I think they’ve nailed it.
Then again with MAGA-Q-Republicans, that may be a distinction without much of a difference.
