ROBERT MUELLER/RUDY GIULIANI/SOCIAL MEDIA/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Rudy Giuliani, former New York City Mayor and personal attorney to President Donald Trump, tweeted a minor typo Friday [11-30-18]– and by Tuesday [12-4-18], he knew there could only be one explanation: an anti-Trump conspiracy at the heart of Twitter. It began innocently enough, with Giuliani posting a tweet denouncing special counsel Robert Mueller as ‘out of control!’ But amid the post implying Mueller was timing his indictments to embarrass Trump ahead of potential meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the president’s attorney failed to leave a space between G-20 and the start of his next sentence, inadvertently creating a hyperlink to http://g-20.in/. (urls ending in .in are associated with India). The url wasn’t in use before Giuliani’s tweet, The New York Times reported, but it caught the attention of Atlanta web designer Jason Velaszquez, 37, who decided to buy the domain for $5 and post an anti-Trump message on the page.”
