Rudy Giuliani Surfaces With New, Bizarre Comments

Donald Trump’s lawyer, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, seems to have escaped from the doghouse. After months on TV telling lies and saying strange, indecipherable things, Giuliani disappeared from public view. Now he has reappeared and he is right back at it, making comments that can best be described as bizarre.

It’s not clear whether Giuliani is officially off the leash or if his new comments were made without Trump administration approval. Regardless, Reuters reported yesterday:






But here’s the thing: what Giuliani is reported as saying cannot be true.

Paul Manafort now works for Bob Mueller, and Mueller would not allow a  “joint defense agreement.” If he did allow this to continue, then Manafort and his attorney could tell Giuliani and Trump everything going on inside the special counsel’s investigation.

Mueller would never let this happen. You can only have a joint defense agreement where there is a common interest between two defendants who are both being prosecuted for the same crimes. Since Manafort pleaded guilty, he is no longer being prosecuted and doesn’t have need of a defense agreement.

Clearly Giuliani is telling lies again. Apparently he can’t help himself. The question here is: why is he doing it? What good does it do his client Donald Trump to lie about something like this?

The answer is it does no good legally, but it helps Giuliani by getting in the headlines again with what appears to be good news for his boss. Giuliani may be saying these things only to make Trump feel better.

Paul Manafort has sold out Donald Trump, and he knows it (and Giuliani knows it). While waiting for the shoe to drop from Mueller, they can make themselves feel better by living in a fantasy world, and that appears to be what Rudy Giuliani is doing.

Bob Mueller is waiting until after the midterms to reveal the next steps in his strategy. We don’t know exactly what will happen next, but we do know that it won’t be good news for Donald Trump.
