It is also possible that the FBI could say that Giuliani is lying
Surely not!

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I wonder if The Big Guy approved it, or it was just the AG.
If he didn't know about a raid on that high profile of a target, he's an incompetent fool.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Apparently, there was an "unidentified source" that WaPo, NYT, NYPost, CNN, NBC News, and others quoted which claimed that Giuliani was warned by the FBI before he went to Ukraine that the Russians might be mounting a disinformation campaign. Turns out that was false.
The newspapers retracted/corrected that part of the story:
But, as the saying goes, a lie makes it around the world before the truth gets its trousers on. And in this case, the truth doesn't stand a chance:

In preparation for writing this article, I spent the day notifying close to a dozen of these media luminaries that their false tweet remained up and asked whether they intend to take it down and/or correct the false tweet. Only one — NBC White House Correspondent Geoff Bennett — responded. He did so by blocking me on Twitter, while leaving the false tweet up, uncorrected. Put another way, this NBC News journalist is well aware that he lied to close to 200,000 followers when he falsely told them that “Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Ron Johnson were warned in late 2019 that they were targets of a Russian operation intended to damage Joe Biden politically” — a story (as it pertains to Giuliani) which even his own outlet has retracted — but simply refuses to note that it was false or to remove the false posting. This NBC News reporter is knowingly spreading Fake News all over Twitter.

Time to change the libel laws.
It's going to be the only thing that curtails this silliness.

Yes, for many reasons.

This silliness, I don't think, rises to the live of "libel." Let's just call it what it is - a lie, rather than a mistake. WaPo and others issued their retractions (probably on page 24) to their credit, but this clown's tweet is still out there, and he blocked Greenwald for pointing out the falsehood.
