Former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, a combative former prosecutor and longtime ally of President Trump, told The Washington Post on Thursday that he has joined the president’s legal team dealing with the ongoing special counsel probe.
“I’m doing it because I hope we can negotiate an end to this for the good of the country and because I have high regard for the president and for Bob Mueller,” Giuliani said in an interview.
Trump counsel Jay Sekulow said Thursday in a statement that Giuliani is joining the team along with two former federal prosecutors, Jane Serene Raskin and Marty Raskin, a couple who jointly run a Florida-based law firm.
“Rudy is great,” Trump said in the statement issued by Sekulow. “He has been my friend for a long time and wants to get this matter quickly resolved for the good of the country.”
Jesus, is that what you get when you scrape the bottom of the barrel, freaking Rudy Giuliani?
I think the last time that Giuliani practiced law he was chasing horse drawn ambulances.
It does not appear however that Giuliani is coming on board to do much legal work, but rather as a go between for Trump to reach out to the Mueller team.
Yes, because that's how these things work.just talked to Giuliani who said his role on Trump team is limited. He worked with Mueller at DOJ & as NYC Mayor (Mueller at FBI) He hopes knowing Mueller can help bring the investigation to conclusion, saying it "needs a little push." How soon? "maybe a couple of weeks"— Dana Bash (@DanaBashCNN) April 19, 2018
You just need to find a friend that you and the investigator have in common, and they will convince them that you are a good guy and they should back off.
Besides isn't that kind of how Trump got into this mess in the first place?
The President then returned to the topic of Mike Flynn, saying, "He is a good guy and has been through a lot." He repeated that Flynn hadn’t done anything wrong on his calls with the Russians, but had misled the Vice President. He then said, "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go." I replied only that "he is a good guy." (Source.)
It is VERY unlikely that Giuliani is going to be able to persuade Mueller to wrap things up quickly or see his way clear to "let it this go."
In fact there are currently rumors that Giuliani is ALREADY under investigation by the Mueller team.
That seems a little awkward.
By the way also keep in mind that Giuliani is waste deep in this Russia collusion thing as well.
Yeah, that was a lie.July 28, 2016: https://t.co/MI4BqmvBxE— Natasha Bertrand (@NatashaBertrand) April 19, 2018
And certainly not the first or last one that Giuliani has told on Donald Trump's behalf.
Just another clown added to the clown car.
