Guiliani is hanging Trump this morning on ABC.

Giuliani to @ThisWeekABC: "For every one these things he did, we can write out five reasons why he did it. Four of them are completely innocent, and one of them is your assumption that it's a guilty motive, which the president would deny." https://abcn.ws/2J7zLqP





Then slags off Congress, the guys who can literally hang Trump.





This is bad lawyer 101........

It turns the blame to reflect on whoever is calling the act illegal. What a twisted brain this man has!

If Trump is indicted for lying it will be to Mueller, FBI or Congress as part of a coverip.

He certainly isn't much of an attorney.

When the dust has settled, I expect Trump to sue him for professional malpractice.

We have no way these days to parse the statements to us, the conflicting missives, the leaks, the firehouse of distractions and horrific facts except through some form of press. We should be in the streets.

Trump will never be interviewed by Mueller. Never. At best, Trump will bullshit his way through written questions, but you will not see Mueller and Trump in an interview. My humble opinion.

mostly for comedy relief?

Or are they bringing him on for the purpose of having him show what a jerk he is?

First, some of the actions in question are illegal regardless of the reason he did them. If you want to get your client off, you need to dispute that those actions were performed by him at all.

Second, no list of reasons written by you (plural) will hold as much weight with a jury as Trump's own unscripted, uncoached words. And because he's an arrogant, ignorant babble-mouth he has given his reasons for some of these actions ON TELEVISION. The jury will be seeing those tapes during the trial.
