It's Giuliani Time! Rudy Ritualistically Suicides One Case To Try To Save Trump From Another
CRIME
It’s Giuliani Time! Rudy Ritualistically Suicides One Case To Try To Save Trump From Another
Thing is, I think Giuliani ineffectively inoculated Trump from campaign finance violations, while successfully murdering all credibility.

New Trump attorney Rudolph Giuliani went on Sean Hannity tonight and decided to completely blow up one of Donald Trump’s many legal cases. He blew it right the f**k up. It’s gone. Bye-bye.
Donald Trump has been arguing that he didn’t have a relationship with adult film actress Stormy Daniels, that he knew nothing about Michael Cohen’s hush-money payment to Daniels, and that he generally knew nothing about nobody. Trump went on Air Force One and said that he did not know about Michael Cohen’s payment.
And Rudy Giuliani just went on cable television and basically called Trump a liar.
Yep, Giuliani said that Trump did reimburse Cohen, “funneling” the money through a law firm (which is not a word you want to use when your personal attorney is under investigation for fraud), but Trump “didn’t know the specifics of it.” A flabbergasted Sean Hannity actually pressed Giuliani on the point. He noted that Cohen has repeatedly said that he paid the money out of his own funds, without asking Trump. Giuliani said, “I don’t know. I have not investigated that. No reason to doubt him… I like Michael a lot.”
Yeah, so, Cohen didn’t even get a full-throated expression of support from Giuliani. Chew on that, Michael, when you are weighing whether or not to plead out and flip.

12. WOW. Giuliani just said that Trump reimbursed Cohen for the $130,000.
"he didn't know the specifics of it, he knew the general arrangement."
