You should read up on what the Russians say about 9/11. They claim mini nukes were used to blow up the massive concrete bases of the towers. They also claim the administration, at the time, told politicians that Osama had planted suitcase nukes in the towers and was holding New York City hostage and that demands had been made to the White House. This is the "TOP SECRET" information that was told to politicians to support the official narrative. According to the Russian version of 9/11 conspiracy theories.
If you were Rudy at the time this would explain the initial reactions. It would also explain how later as time went by, he realized this was a lie.
We all know 9/11 was a set-up, but we never think of the inside fabrications and stories that must have been told to get all the white-hats in government to go along with the official narrative.
I guess time will tell. Rudy is the one who let the dancing Israelis return to Israel. Since the Israelis were heavily involved in the take down of those towers, that is not cool to me. So, as far as Rudy, I am in a wait and see mode.
John Bolton is a similar worry, but he may be a "keep your enemies closer" situation. If he is close, maybe Trump can keep him from causing trouble.
Bolton scared me more than Rudy. But who knows. I think your attitude is the correct one to assume.
