Giuliani: No Problem With Trump Witness Tampering



Earlier today on CNN, bumbling TV lawyer and logorrhea sufferer Rudy "Ghouliani" Giuliani said his felonious client, demagogue and Kremlin asset Donald "Rump" Trump (Individual-1) may have spoken to his fixer Michael Cohen about testimony that Cohen was about to give to Congress on Rump's secretive Trump Tower Moscow deal. Perhaps realizing he once again screwed up, Giuliani quickly added that if Rump had spoken to him, "so what if he had talked to him about it?" (He also defended Rump's attack on Cohen's family, which is a classic Cosa Nostra tactic).

Well, we only play lawyers on this blog, but that would certainly constitute a potential target of an investigation (Individual-1) speaking to a witness in the investigation (Cohen). Isn't it just a teensy bit possible that Rump would want to know what Cohen planned to tell the Congressional Committee, and that Cohen would want to make sure it squared with Rump's account?

While we find Giuliani sickening and deeply corrupt, we're happy that he unburdens himself on national TV about his client's words and actions. He's a prosecutor's dream.

I still don't know what Giuliani's purpose is. He has yet to properly defend his client, or is Trump even considered a client? Did Rudy get this gig so he eventually could wiggle his way into an Administrative position with Trump? 'Cause he's not doing Trump any favors. And every time he opens his yap, he incriminates Trump or Jr in some way.

So how come Rudy's still his frontman?

donnah -- There's the school of thought (Joyce Vance and Mimi Rocah) that he's putting negative stuff out there to diminish its impact -- to numb us -- when the actual evidence comes in, and to muddy the waters for Trump's followers.
