Giuliani says he is joining Trump’s legal team to ‘negotiate an end’ to Mueller probe
WaPo ^ | April 19, 2018 | Robert Costa and Josh Dawsey

Posted on 04/19/2018 2:27:15 PM PDT by jazusamo

Former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, a combative former prosecutor and longtime ally of President Trump, told The Washington Post on Thursday that he has joined the president’s legal team dealing with the ongoing special counsel probe.

“I’m doing it because I hope we can negotiate an end to this for the good of the country and because I have high regard for the president and for Bob Mueller,” Giuliani said in an interview.

Giuliani, who joins a legal team that has struggled to recruit new members to its ranks, said he has been speaking with Trump for weeks about joining the group of legal advisers. He said he would work alongside Trump’s current attorneys, Jay Sekulow and Ty Cobb, who focus on the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. He also said he will soon take a leave from his law firm, Greenberg Traurig.

Thanks! Yes, there is a lot of history there. Some of it not very pretty. I do not think Rudy is the man for this job at this time.

Huh? Rudy and The Donald are personal friends. Rudy has no incentive to get involved in this matter other than helping a friend.

Rudy has said many times he in NOT interested in public office, and instead, is going to pursue his own business interests.

“Comey repeatedly invokes Giuliani’s craving for publicity”

Comey’s wacko loony hypocritical statements about the vices of others has gotten on my last nerve.

..FR split wide open in ‘08 over Rudy running for president. Having said that, I would have no problem with a former federal prosecutor who went up against the Mob on Trump’s team. Plus the’ve known each other forever—welcome aboard Rudy...

Rudy has stuff on Mulehead and Comedy, that they don’t want out in the open.

He will ‘negotiate’ behind closed doors and end this eternal bs.

We will never know why.

Mulehead will nail some minor player and fade into the DC swamp.

Comedy could have a disaster and end his misery.
