After an Arizona grand jury indicted 18 people in late April, including Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows, over an alleged attempt to alter the results of the 2020 presidential election, prosecutors in the state have tried for weeks to serve Donald Trump's former bug-eyed attorney with notice of his indictment. Where could Rudy be? He hasn't made many friends. Early last month, a judge determined that Giuliani could remain in his Florida condo for now after a NY bankruptcy judge declined to rule on a motion filed by his creditors that would've forced him to sell the Palm Beach property.

Giuliani owes the election workers he propped up to publically and falsely demonize a whopping $148 million from a defamation judgment. And now he's missing. Has anyone checked Mar-a-Lago? I hear that at least one potential felon hangs out there.

CNN reports:

Giuliani is among a group of former President Donald Trump's allies indicted last month in Arizona alongside the 11 individuals who acted as fake GOP electors from the state in the last presidential election.

But the former New York City mayor and one-time attorney for Trump is the only defendant prosecutors have been unable to serve with a summons, according to Richie Taylor, a spokesperson for the Arizona attorney general's office.

The summons is a formal notice that Giuliani has been criminally charged and must appear before a judge on May 21.

So, they had no problem locating individuals like former Trump bootlicker Mark Meadows then.

A team of prosecutors and investigators working for Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, has made multiple attempts to locate Giuliani, Taylor told CNN.

The day after the state-level grand jury handed up its indictment, two agents for the attorney general's office traveled to New York City with plans to hand-deliver the notice to Giuliani, Taylor said.

The agents believed Giuliani was likely in his New York City apartment because he had recently video streamed from there – which they determined by matching the setting of the feed with pictures of the interior of the residence from an old real estate listing.

But upon arriving at the building, a person at the front desk told the agents they were not allowed to accept service of the documents, according to Taylor, who added that the individual did not dispute Giuliani lived there.

"We were not granted access," Taylor added, confirming details previously reported by the Washington Post.

How rude! Who would have thought that someone in Trump's orbit would try to evade being served and be rude about it? Not me! Have they checked all the bars in the area? We're just trying to be helpful!
