Holy moly, it just doesn’t stop. Today’s insanity is that former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is joining Trump’s legal team – and he’s doing it to negotiate an END to the Mueller probe!!!
From the Washington Post:
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.
Giuliani, who joins a legal team that has struggled to recruit new members to its ranks, said he has been speaking with Trump for weeks about joining the group of legal advisers. He said he would work alongside Trump’s current attorneys, Jay Sekulow and Ty Cobb, who focus on the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. He also said he will soon take a leave from his law firm, Greenberg Traurig.
Giuliani said he formalized his decision in recent days, including over dinner last week at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
What?! The?! Heck??!?
I don’t even know how to process this. I don’t think Mueller is susceptible to Giuliani’s “negotiation,” I mean what is he offering exactly? And that means that Trump is really looking for a way out, and that means that if Mueller doesn’t go for it, then he’s probably gonna get fired, and then the fireworks really start…
