His honor Mayor Giuliani

Right on cue, Hiz Hona' the Mayer goes on Fox tonight, promptly opens his mouth and inserts his foot. You would think he would at least have reviewed the public record for opening his mouth. At the very least Hiz Hona' has tromped all over the Stormy Daniels case and has admitted to more crimes while trying to deny any crimes.

That is not the only screwed up mess Rudy made tonight. It is probably the one that the Trump team will have to repair immediately. Worse than just creating more legal problems for Trump, Rudy has tonight completely and directly contradicted Trump's Air Force 1 statement about the Stormy Daniels payment. Lying to the press is not a crime. However nobody has been able to directly nail Trump down to a specific lie in this manner and now Rudy has done that. Nice job yur' hona'.

I would give him about another week before he is bounced out of the Trump legal team on his rear end.

A week? You think it will take that long? It might happen tonight.

To top off this day of legal wonderment for Rudy apparently the entire Trump legal team had a come to Jesus moment tonight as Cohen and Trump refuse to tell their lawyers what documents were swept up in the warrant on Cohen's office and home addresses. GULP!
 
What we likely learned last night was that Trump and team consider things wrapped around Michael Cohen as the larger threat than the Mueller Investigation. The only one of the cast of characters that got a little relief from Rudy's Fox rant last night was Cohen. That said, Rudy's argument was so convoluted and involved so many turns that even Cohen probably did not get much relief.

Rudy did call his client an outright lier as that was all Rudy was left with in making his argument. But they are opening the door to looking into whether Trump did make payments to Cohen to cover the Daniels $130K and if so when. Was it after this became a potential campaign finance issue or before? If Trump did make payments, what was the source of that money? That gives us the 2nd thing we got out of Rudy's rant.

So here is all I can make out of Rudy's Fox rant:
1) In the opinion of the Trump team, the whole Cohen mess including all those documents that are now sitting in suspension before the court is the larger existential threat to Trump than the Mueller investigation
2) Trump and Cohen have gotten into so many shady entanglements internationally some that may include illegalities that they are left only with trying to confuse the issue further even if it means Trump himself ends up taking some hits for things like an outright lie on Air Force 1. Either Rudy was lying last night or Trump was lying about the Daniels Payoff when he made his brief Air Force 1 statement a couple of weeks ago.

That said, for Rudy to sit on the Fox set and make definitive statements about the Daniels Payoff and then claim that he had not fully looked into the matter speaks volumes to the ridiculousness of their current position. The thing I really don't get about this "strategy" is that once you have gone so far down the rathole that you have actual investigations and actual legal action taking place, confusing issues does not buy you anything. It does not end anything and if it does not end investigations for legal actions then they have just extended them.

Oh my God. Having managed to call his client an outright lier last night, Rudy just this morning robs away the one single benefit either Cohen or Trump could have gotten out of last night's Fox Rudy rant.

Rudy just said this morning Cohen made the payoff in October 2016 to make an uncomfortable issue "for the campaign" go away at a critical moment. Rudy has just confessed to a campaign finance offense against Cohen. It does not any longer matter where the money came from if that was Cohen's intent. If I understand the law correctly, Rudy just tossed Trump right back down there with Cohen because now that Rudy has claimed Trump repaid the money in separate payments at a later date, Trump has been drawn into an unreported campaign contribution made by Cohen when he paid off Daniels in October 2016 specifically to benefit Trump's campaign.

So Cohen just got thrown right back under the same bus Rudy tried to pry him out from under last night and has called his client, Trump a lier in the process.

Rudy is just too old and too detached and too subservient to Trump to be doing either any good at this point.
 
Suddenly Rudy has anointed himself as the Trump town cryer I guess. Rudy has just announced that the 3 American citizens held by N. Korea are about to be released which the WH would not confirm. Earth to Rudy...you are not the WH Rudy. You are a Trump attorney or at least you are until Trump realizes what a scene stealing showboat you are and pushes you off the good ship Trump. There is nothing Trump hates more than a scene stealer. You are not a net positive for Trump anyway Rudy and that will not take Donald long to figure out.
