I suspect the pool of available legitimate lawyers is beginning to dwindle. Who is going to be willing to listen to the drivel of ridiculous defense options the President thinks he has and not want to bust out laughing in his face? Who’s going to want to jeopardize their hard-won credentials for this guy?

Good luck to you.

Giuliani is exactly the type of lawyer Trump deserves. He’s what happens when your so toxic that other lawyers won’t represent you.

So is this McCarthy revealing that the GOP is done with Guiliani, or is this McCarthy just blurting out whatever bubbles up inside him again?

“That’s a question for the President about being the lawyer,” McCarthy responded. “I think there would be other people I would have represent myself.”

OK, if Trump still doesn’t see what an idiot he’s been …

McCarthy is a dumbbell. Giuliani will most likely enter treatment for alcoholism soon to endeavor to dodge the subpoena.

If Trump is getting paid by Russia, as you once alleged, then yes, Trump does indeed need better representation.

With any luck, Mr. McCarthy, you will soon not be answering this question as a hypothetical.

The guy from the ShamWoW commercials would be an upgrade.

Hey Rudy!
That rumbling sound you hear getting closer and closer to your back? That’s the BUS you’re being thrown under by your buddy Trump.

Enjoy your “time in the barrel”.

It’s likely both and chances are, he’ll be walking it back.

Conversely, Mr. McCarthy, if you were a lawyer, would you want Donald J. Trump for a client?

Much too complicated. He’d pass. Eventually.

Remember months ago when Trump was sharing with everybody the expansive powers he has under Article II of the Constitution. I thought at the time that meant somebody had been blowing smoke up his ass about how he could do anything he wanted with impunity. I wonder if Rudy was the President whisperer.
