Unleashed Rudy Reveals Chaotic Approach Of Trump's New Legal Team

By Tierney Sneed | May 3, 2018 3:32 pm

When Rudy Giuliani wasn’t blowing up the White House’s account of payments made to a porn star who claimed to have slept with President Trump, or exchanging an old set of legal liabilities for Trump with some new ones, his one-two punch of Fox News interviews Wednesday night and Thursday morning allowed him to workshop some of the arguments Trump’s legal team could be making if its showdown with Special Counsel Robert Mueller escalates.

“You can’t possibly not feel, as a citizen of the world, that his negotiations with North Korea are much more significant than this totally garbage investigation,” Giuliani said on Sean Hannity’s show Wednesday.


The smear campaign against Mueller and the Department of Justice is taking on some sharper elbows, now that a confrontation over whether Trump should have to sit down for an interview seems nigh.

The former New York mayor, who joined Trump’s legal team a few weeks ago, cycled through a whole bunch of anti-Mueller talking points. Here are some of the things he had to say:

Flood is one of the few lawyers on Trump's team who has a distinguished reputation to protect. If he has a lick of sense, he'll bail before he gets Trump's shit all over him and can't get it off.

In prior presidencies, we tried to pay them off, we ignored them, we tried to isolate them. What has Trump done that we don't know about, if anything?

Has it really been so simple and quick?


I'm not saying there is anything suspicious about this opening between North and South Korea and the US, but I wonder about it. Are we being told the entire story?
