Saw that report on another site last night and it cracked me up. I would guess that more lawyers will be bailing from the lawsuits now.

I guess this is proof Giuliani isn’t really a vampire as some have suggested. He seems to be clinging desperately to his last moments in the sun. I imagine irrelevance is the worst fate for guys like this.

He ain’t good but he works cheap. Seriously it’s getting more shambolic literally every day. I was just marveling to myself what a week it’s been since they called it for Joe. How long ago does that day seem? This has to be the most epic self-beclowning in history.

Well, his efforts in Ukraine went so well, I guess Trump was so impressed by that, he keeps bringing him back.

Seriously, I have to wonder what is going on between Trump and Giuliani. G. has fucked up everything he has touched and Trump keeps going to him.

He could have done the talking circuit and gotten lots of money and adulation. He would make an interesting study of how supposedly smart and competent people work to destroy their lives and reputation.
