Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said on Thursday that he plans to leave Trump’s legal team after he’s done with the post-Russia probe “cleanup.”
Giuliani told the Washington Examiner on Thursday that he would “probably not” continue representing the President once he’s finished dealing with any legal issues state prosecutors may raise from the evidence handed over from special counsel Robert Mueller.
“Depends on if I’m needed,” Giuliani said.
“Cleaning up” and “Depends” are very interesting choices of words, considering who he works for.
Considering that in mid-April 2018 Giuliani predicted the Russia probe would be wrapped up within a week, two weeks tops I expect he does not plan on leaving any time soon.
I was thinking the same. Plus you have Dowd out there squealing like a stuck pig and Barr getting ready for a contempt charge. The walls are closing in on the Trump admin.
A dozen lawyers could spend their entire careers trying to extricate trump from himself. Assuming he does nothing else criminal there is more than enough legal casework to be done that it will last the rest of trump’s life. But we know that trump can’t help it. He will continue to fuck up.
He’s backtracked, folks, via Twitter…
“I have no plan to cease personal representation of @realDonaldTrump. I was brought on to handle the Mueller investigation and I am still dealing with the possible crimes committed by the investigators. I’m here until Pres. doesn’t need me or needs something else.”
