IV. GO CLEAN THIS UP!
Around noon on Monday, July 11, Rudy Giuliani walked out of St. Patricks Cathedral into a gorgeous 80-degree summer day. He had been attending the funeral of his friend Peter Powers, who had been his deputy mayor back in the 90s. Walking beside Giuliani was Marc Mukasey, who had become something of a protégé and was the son of Giulianis good friend Michael Mukasey, the former U.S. attorney general. It was an emotional day for both men, but they quickly turned their focus to Roger Ailes. They had all known each other a long time. During the 1989 mayoral race, when he was barely out of Dartmouth, Mukasey had delivered doughnuts to Ailes. Now a top attorney at Greenberg Traurig, Mukasey responded to questions about his and Giulianis work for Ailes:
Rudy and I provided personal, private legal counsel to Roger, whom weve known for years. Our conversations about the matter are private.

Newt Gingrich: Independent Investigator Needed for Trump-Russia Probe
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich wants a special investigator to review the Trump team's alleged contact with Russian officials during the campaign one of the few prominent Republicans calling for such an examination.
Gingrich, when asked about the use of a special prosecutor Tuesday on Fox News, advised President Donald Trump to "take a lesson from the past" and assign a "very smart, independent person" to take on that investigatory role.
"Maybe somebody like Michael Mukasey, former attorney general [under George W. Bush] put them in charge of the whole project, and say, you know, there are questions here, the country has questions, the media has questions, even members of Congress (have) questions," Gingrich said.

Firing, placing and replacing with those friendly to Trump and his agenda.
