Giuliani goes on to argue that an earlier search on his iCloud might not have been a “search for the truth” but rather an effort “to trash a well-respected attorney’s reputation particularly as an attorney for President Trump.”

Or, it could be both at the same time.

One assumes Rudy would have to prove he is in fact a “well respected attorney,” and these days that would be a heavy lift.

Second time a lawyer for Trump has been raided, huh? How did the first one turn out?

“ Two people close to Trump say they have urged the former president to lay low on the matter and to refrain from making too many statements or commitments on Giuliani and the federal probe. These people have told Trump that it’s unclear what the feds have and that any statement could backfire both on him and on Giuliani. Moreover, various people in Trump’s social and political orbits have been trying to convince the former president for years that Giuliani has been too great a liability for him, and they have suggested that he cut the lawyer loose.”

Cute that Giuliani thinks that Trump (and therefore “Trump world”) won’t underbus him like they’ve done with previous Trump associates (see Manafort, Gates, etc). Unless Giuliani is still of use to Trump, he will get discarded to face the SDNY all on his own.

New York City lawyers have always amazed me. Really very little they won’t say in a legal proceeding.

Rudy’s defense is that he did everything for Trump, and with the participation of various Trump goons, so therefore everything is fine.

Exactly. Is there another attorney among the Drumph cabal that might get tarnished?

It’s all fine because he’s a “well respected lawyer.”
