Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has been asking around for possible defense attorneys, a notable move since he asserted last week that he’d only lawyer up if absolutely necessary.
As a New Yorker this is kind of amusing since as mayor he had it out for legal services, the folks who represented the poor, working class and those at risk of getting evicted.
I’m sure many of them would be happy to give him legal advice.
I am going to go a little off topic with this post to address Josh’s editorial comment last night.
Josh is missing the much bigger point here, unless I am completely misreading it.
“He goes on to confirm the extraordinary detail that Barr asked Italian intelligence officials to confirm or explain the actions of US intelligence officials.”
This is precisely the worry I voiced some time ago when Barr started rooting through intelligence files and then hit the road on his adventures.
He is revealing sources and methods…and most probably is revealing classified information that originated with the country to which he is speaking. So, he is burning our intelligence agencies world wide, with our allies. I can imagine no way these conversations are happening where Barr is going into “extraordinary detail” on intelligence matters, without these things happening.
