In early 2017, long before Rudy Giuliani would entangle himself in an international amateur-diplomacy scandal that launched America's fourth-ever presidential impeachment inquiry, the former New York City mayor occupied a more modest and less criminal role in the Donald Trump extended universe: as the head of a presidential working group on cybersecurity. Or as he explained it on Fox & Friends at the time, "security for cyber."

Around the same time, however, the nation's newly-installed expert on protecting U.S. elections from foreign interference was grappling with a much more foundational technology-related problem—one that has vexed countless men and women of a certain age ever since the late Steve Jobs promised to "reinvent the phone" a decade earlier. In February 2017, according to NBC News, Giuliani locked himself out of his iPhone after forgetting his passcode and entering the wrong one at least ten times, and needed someone at an Apple Genius Bar in San Francisco to fix it.

    “Very sloppy,” said one of the [NBC News sources], a former Apple store employee who was there on the day that Giuliani stopped by in February 2017.

    “Trump had just named him as an informal adviser on cybersecurity and here, he couldn’t even master the fundamentals of securing your own device.”

Did you know Giuliani was a cyber security specialist?  Between butt-dialing reporters and locking himself out of his phone, I don't know where he has time to strong arm foreign countries for political dirt.

It's his NY 'mentality' don't ya know?
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
