Rudy Giuliani Begs To Be Trump's Impeachment Trial Lawyer

Rudy Giuliani Begs To Be Trump’s Impeachment Trial Lawyer


Rudy Giuliani is daring Donald Trump to give him the case and allow him to argue in Trump’s defense at the president’s impeachment trial.

NBC News reported:

“I would testify, I would do demonstrations, I’d give lectures, I’d give summations, or I’d do what I do best, I’d try the case. I’d love to try the case,” Giuliani told reporters as he made his way into a New Year’s Eve celebration at the president’s Florida resort on Tuesday night.


Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor, suggested he’d lead the president’s defense with a prosecution.

“I don’t know if anybody would have the courage to give me the case, but if you give me the case, I will prosecute it as a racketeering case, which I kind of invented anyway,” he said, referring to his pioneering use of racketeering laws to take down New York mob leadership in the 1980s.

“It was 30 years ago, but let’s see if I can still do it,” he said.


I don’t know if I’d be any good at it, or if anyone is crazy enough to give me the case, but I would love to be Trump’s impeachment trial lawyer is not exactly the most convincing sales pitch that one could hear.

If there is one person who could get Donald Trump convicted at a rigged impeachment trial, it’s Rudy Giuliani.

It would be fascinating and fun to see Rudy Giuliani hijack the Senate for weeks and ramble insane conspiracy theories, as Mitch McConnell loses his mind over Rudy dragging out the trial for days, weeks, or even months.


Trump is not going to allow Giuliani to be his impeachment trial lawyer, but the fact that it is even a possibility suggests that 2020 could be even crazier than 2019.

...this is what Rudy wanted all along. He came on during the Mueller Investigation as the guy who was going to be the "savior" of Trump. Only Barr went ahead and pulled his magic.

Rudy wants something from Trump.

He'd essentially attempt to try Joe Biden, who had nothing to do with Spanky's Ukraine policy.

But Republicans likely would go along with it, just to make the sideshow complete.

RiCO laws were enacted on 1970. The first RICO prosecution was in NY in 1979. Giuiliani was appointed to sdny in 1983. Giuliani wouldn’t know how to tell the truth if it bit him in the ass. But, please proceed.

Rhoody forgets whose side he's on, halfway through a sentence?

Trump should take trial by combat! It would at least be merciful for him!
