Lanny Davis shreds Giuliani & suggests we all "Stay Tuned"

@LannyDavis

Did @rudygiuliani really say on Sunday shows that @michaelcohen212 should cooperate with prosecutors and tell the truth? Seriously? Is that Trump and Giuliani definition of “truth”? Trump/Giuliani next to the word “truth” = oxymoron. Stay tuned. #thetruthmatters

should anyone care just what he tweets?

This argumentation via Twitter simply proves nothing in my opinion.

He's also very close to the Clinton's and worked through the late 90's.

So, there are, uh, reasons to care what he tweets.

And for people to just take a minute to hit the old google search before looking foolish.

Enjoy insulting people who you do not know. Speaking volumes more about you than me.

Good Day.

As a rule, I try to discount anything an attorney says on TV about a client or the opposition. It's going to be spin-ish.

is a big middle finger to Trump. He certainly could have hired plenty of other lawyers, but hiring one so close to the Clintons is telling.
