Discussion: Giuliani: Trump Fired Comey Because He Wouldn't Let Him Off The Hook In Probe

IANAL. Despite years of watching Law & Order, I was not permitted to take the bar exam.

Not sure about that as a media strategy but it would be a damned good legal strategy. Giuliani is the worst lawyer I’ve ever seen. Worse than I could have ever imagined possible.

Rudy’s talking and revealing things like an old New Yorker at the corner deli sitting down and regaling friends and, really, anyone, with stories and tales. I think, regardless of the sensitivity of the topics, he simply started talking and forgot where he was. Fox News studios could do that.

Wow! I am gobsmacked at how stupid Giuliani has proven himself to be after that extraordinary campaign he ran for the Republican Party nomination for president in 2008.

Ouch. Below Cohen even.

I think in this situation it’s a mashup of the Frog and the Scorpion and the Farmer and the Viper. So in this case it’s the Scorpion and the Viper. Aesop was a pretty clever guy, but even he couldn’t imagine two individuals as depraved and self-indulgent as Trump and Giuliani.

Hey, leave the poikilotherms out of this! They are just innocent bystanders.

socalista · May 3, 2018, 1:39pm

Except even that doesn’t make sense. If I believed I were totally innocent (actually even if I didn’t believe that), I’d want to offer my co-operation in completing the investigation as soon as possible to clear my name, which is obviously important to me personally but doubly so now that I’ve taken on the responsibilities of President.

It’s the logic of a child: “I don’t like this, it’s making me unhappy, make it go away”. Whether it pays off in the future has no bearing on this is unpleasant right now.

Same as “I don’t like going to the dentist, so I just won’t, ever”.

Because, y’know, he really is a child in most meaningful mental senses.

Thanks but most of us already figured that one out.

grack · May 3, 2018, 1:47pm

I finally figured out where Rudy’s lips are

As has been posited oft before: this is not a legal defense, this is a PR defense.

footballreddog · May 3, 2018, 1:50pm

Won’t somebody ask him about his membership in the SDNY FBI Boy’s Club ?

socalista · May 3, 2018, 1:50pm

I’m just waiting to see if the entire rest of Spanky’s legal team quits now that Giuliani’s been brought in to incriminate their client on twitter and on national TV

pike_bishop · May 3, 2018, 1:51pm

‘You’re gonna’ need a bigger boat, bitches!!’

jslinderml · May 3, 2018, 1:52pm

Dear lord. I was only trained as a paralegal and even I know NEVER to say anything approaching this stuff. That said, it is Giuliani, so I am waiting for the 9/11 tie in.

upstateny13027 · May 3, 2018, 1:52pm

Pump up the base, baby…Pump up the base!!

Trump’s base believes all of this shit…

They love Rudy and his roll [sic] in this theater of the absurd.

Giuliani: Trump Fired Comey Because He Refused To Publicly Exonerate POTUS

Um, that is, by definition, OBSTRUCTION.
