Trump Lawyer Rudy Giuliani Under Criminal Investigation

The role of a defense lawyer is to help the client minimize or avoid legal jeopardy. Generally speaking, you do not want your lawyer himself to be the subject of a criminal investigation. Yet that is the position President Trump finds himself, as his lawyer Rudy Giuliani is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation being conducted by federal authorities, according to ABC News.

Giuliani has been working closely since at least March with Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. Giuliani’s role has been to enlist the two former Soviet émigrés to pressure Ukraine to investigate various domestic opponents of President Trump — focusing first on law enforcement officials who conducted the Russia investigation, and later on Joe Biden.

Why did he get involved with Parnas and Fruman, and what did they have to offer? Parnas owns a club called Mafia Rave. He is, amazingly, the less shady of the two. Fruman has ties to Russia mafia figures and runs a company called Fraud Guarantee. If you were looking to undertake an aboveboard investigation into political corruption, those are not the two people you would pick to run it.

Parnas and Fruman were arrested at the airport yesterday, with one-way tickets to Frankfurt, the day after meeting Giuliani, and charged with campaign-finance violations. Neither had any previous interest in political activity, yet they donated millions of dollars to Republican causes after hiring Giuliani.

I can imagine him rolling around in the dust, taking a bath like a chinchilla. It makes him feel like 9/11 all over again.

To be fair, it's generally a terrible idea to represent yourself in anything of importance.
 
Anyway: hah. hah. hah.



HAH!

It's also a bad idea to do illegal things for a criminal president.
 
Crickets from the Trump town cult here. Must be waiting for Hannity to tell them what to think.
 
I hope they indict that Trump ********er.
 
I really wonder what he could have done illegally though...i mean, these guys use others to do the dirty work, they know how to avoid getting their own hands dirty...
I mean, for most of us it would look bad if we kept hiring/directing felons who engaged in corruption, but apparently Trump supporters see that as a sign of Making America Great..Again.

Asked if Giuliani still represented him, trump said, “I don’t know.”

Also, this thread:

@Olivianuzzi: I don’t know how to describe Giuliani’s response to my follow up question so I’m just going to include a screen shot here.

He is probably going to completely throw Giuliani under the bus like he did his last lawyer

What amazes me are the number of otherwise upstanding individuals who brought impressive resumes and solid reputations to the Trump administration that are now forever soiled by getting too close to this man.

Guilliani, Barr, Sessions, Mattis, Pompeo, Tillerson and even Lyndsey Graham (who am missing that should be on this bus?) and soon, Trey Gowdy, will have their reputations forever sullied in American history books for generations. For what? What did this man ever do for them? Why do these people continue to fall on the reputation grenade for this guy who is more than happy to throw them under a bus? It makes no sense. These are supposedly bright people. I can only conclude that Trump has the charisma of a cult leader. But, similar to being in any cult, it just makes you look stupid.

Trump is to your reputation what a hometown nuclear meltdown is to your health.

I know he was still representing them as of May 18.
Giuliani.webp

And they had lunch with him at Trump's DC Hotel the day before they got arrested. All 3 were headed to Vienna, probably to meet with Dmytro Firtash. Toensing and DiGenova were working for him too.

But if I had to put my money on it, I'd say they severed official ties shortly after the existence of the whistleblower complaint was publicly reported.

He already got someone to replace him. Remember, Rudy is an 'outside consul'. So is Gowdy.
