Former New York Mayor and current Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani put his foot deep into his lipless maw Thursday by insisting that Donald Trump‘s hush money scheme was “not a big crime” because “nobody got killed,” but his attempt at a correction was even more hilarious.

“Nobody got killed, nobody got robbed,” Giuliani told The Daily Beast, referring to the payoffs for which Michael Cohen will serve up to three years in prison, and in which Trump has been implicated. “This was not a big crime,” he said.

By Friday morning, Giuliani realized he’d made a mistake — and tried to “correct” himself via Twitter:

That claim would come as a surprise to the Southern District of New York, which just sent Michael Cohen to prison for that not-crime. Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano has been on television warning about the seriousness of Trump’s alleged crimes so frequently that he’s up for his own “Law & Order” franchise.

Trump’s legal jeopardy grows deeper by the day, and with a lawyer like Rudy Giuliani on his side, Trump hardly needs enemies.

1. "If it isn't a witch-hunt why are they pursuing a non-crime."

If it wasn't a crime, why did 13 lawyers (some representing Cohen) & 2 FBI agents sit there in court and let Cohen plead guilty to a crime that wasn't committed? Why would a federal judge go along with it?

Who do we believe? A chronic bullshitter or all those people above? Rhetorical question.

3. Nobody got robbed?? I beg to differ.

The American people were robbed of the person they voted to serve as President of the USA. So yes. We wuz robbed, Rudy. And we consider it a big damn deal.
