Rudy Giuliani's "Liar, liar" attack on Michael Cohen seems a wee bit problematic considering his current client (POTUS).

1. And Rudy himself

Since September 4, 2008 until 2016, out of 15 statements by Rudy evaluated by Politifact, 73% were mostly false, false or pants on fire false.

And he's lied plenty since 2016 .. which is probably why he's a natural to work for Trump

2. I think being a competent liar is required to be in trump's inner circle

[Jarqui]

3. I would think 'competent liar' means that the person

lies so effectively, no one finds out.

Trump, Rudy et al don't seem to be able to do that very well. Cohen doesn't either.

Washington Post has documented over 3,000 false statements by Trump made during his 400+ days in office.

The criteria for Trump seems to be a willingness to lie a lot and they do not seem to be required to be good at it - maybe because they lied to get the job and those in the Trump White House lied when they hired them.

5. Maybe 'accomplished liar' would be more accurate

I'm not sure any of them are actually GOOD at it....

8. Accomplished to me implies a certain admiration of their skill

You may know it's all a lie, but they have such a flair that you can at least be entertained.

This crowd doesn't have enough respect for anyone to even try and make us believe their crap. They just fling BS and dare anyone to challenge them.

Maybe bald faced liars is the closest to capturing their bravado.

9. Oh, they have accomplished a LOT with their lies!

Altho I take your point...even if they all grew beards, they would still be bald-faced liars!

[bigbrother05]

6. Umm, maybe you meant to say "compulsive liar"?

Competent implies they are good at it, compulsive implies continuous.

10. they're fucking brilliant liars.

7. The mobster Giuliani

knew about and released Russian hacked info before the election. That criminal is as guilty as the orange hitler.
