Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, substantially weakened his case against Michael Cohen by going back and forth as to whether Cohen could tell federal prosecutors the truth, said Jay Goldberg, President Donald Trump's friend and former lawyer.

Giuliani called Cohen, Trump's former personal lawyer, "honorable" and truthful on several occasions before an audio recording of a discussion between Cohen and Trump about buying rights to a Playboy model's story about an alleged affair Trump took part in became publicized.

After CNN aired the audio, Giuliani called Cohen a "pathological liar" and said he doesn't "see how he has any credibility."

"I expected something like this from Cohen," Giuliani told CNN's Chris Cuomo on Thursday. "He's been lying all week. He's been lying for years."

1. So Giuliani is lying by definition

by saying contradictory things. Both can't be true. You don't even have to know which is true to know that he is lying.

2. Amazing they thought Rudy 2 Sides would help their case at all

Couldn't hire anyone else so they stuck with the senior brains in their orbit. Worse than useless.

3. I heard him last night.

He refused to hire Gulliano when he was Trumps Attorney. Made it clear what he thought of Rudy and the harm he is doing to the defense.

4. I say leave

Ghoulliani alone. He is doing a GREAT job as far as I can see. He is every bit as qualified for what he is doing as tRump is.

6. So Trump hires lawyers known to lie for years and years...find a mirror Mr. G. And then do

your client a favour and stop stroking your own ego with the TV blabber...but narcissists can not stop.

[DetlefK]

5. Wait... Giuliani just said that Cohen had been lying all the years he was working for Trump.

What doesGiuliani know about Trump and when did he know it? That has just become a legitimate question.

7. And no atty/client privilege between the two lawyers

8. Hysterical.

[duforsure]

9. I agree

And before its over with he may be facing many charges against himself.

10. Lock him up. nt

[Solly Mack]

11. Giuliani needs to stop and frisk himself.

If ever there was a broken window personified - it's Trump, Giuliani, and all the rest.

Since he liked the whole idea so much - judge the fucker by the same.

12. Giuliani just gets shriller and louder with each television appearance.

It's starting to sound a lot like this:

13. Giuliani only has that job to be a mouthpiece for the orange hilter

the ex-lawyers are the ones who told spanky to shut up, let them do their jobs.

[IcyPeas]

14. this is just a game to these idiots. /nt

[marble falls]

15. Rudy did some damage to cheetolini - no doubt at all, but the critical damage was done by ...

cheetolini himself by doing the crimes to begin with.

Someone told me that cheeto wants to go to Moscow this fall. If he goes only one way I will buy him a ticket myself. Does he want the chicken or the artisan cold cut sandwich?

[Marcuse]

16. Lying is a marketable skill set in Trumpworld.
