President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has concluded it can’t indict a sitting president.

Conservative radio host and best selling author, Dr. Michael Savage asked his audience this week, “How did Schneiderman fall so fast?” Why did former New York AG Eric Schneiderman get taken down now after his abuse of women was known to many for several years? Why now? Michael Savage has many theories about Schneiderman’s fall at lightning speed: Who got Schneiderman to fall so fast? It’s not that he fell, it’s the rate at which he fell. It happened in one day. One article in The New Yorker and he was gone by the evening. Was it the Trump team?...

President Trump has reportedly considered blocking his new attorney, Rudy Giuliani, from making more television appearances in the wake of a series of controversial interviews. The Associated Press reported that Trump and Giuliani speak frequently, but the president has been frustrated with Giuliani's public comments, particularly about a $130,000 "hush money" payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels. Trump was reportedly upset at Giuliani and Fox News host Sean Hannity following an interview last week in which Giuliani explained that Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen, had "funneled through a law firm" the $130,000. Giuliani then revealed that Trump reimbursed Cohen, contradicting Trump's...

The exclusion of Harvey Weinstein and the director Roman Polanski from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences forty years after the rape of a minor girl and the porn actress are the elements of Plan B of the Deep State because Plan A – the "Russian dossier" – did not work. Harvey Weinstein is an entirely unremarkable piece in terms of Hollywood mores. Hollywood just continues the tradition, which originated from ancient Greece, where the first modern theater was created. Since then, in every theater and every film studio, there is a so-called "role assignment sofa." This site...

Rudy Giuliani’s account of Donald Trump’s role in the payment to Stormy Daniels has collapsed into near-incoherence. In his latest interviews, the newly minted Trump lawyer has adopted a posture of impenetrable epistemological modesty — there’s nothing he knows about the case, or can possibly learn about it anytime soon. Giuliani retreated to this tack after directly contradicting the president’s denial of knowing anything about the hush money, and getting rebuked by Trump for being ill-informed and not yet up to speed. It shouldn’t be this complicated. Getting their story straight would be much easier if they adopted a simple,...

The questions Mueller's team would like to ask Trump, which were leaked to the media, stand as proof as well. Mostly, these questions concern the firing of Comey and not Trump's collusion with the Russians. Also, many of the questions are merely ridiculous, such as "What did you think about the recusal of Attorney General Sessions?" and "How did you come up with the idea of dismissing Comey?" Should these irrelevant questions be worthy of a special prosecutor in the case of an alleged international criminal conspiracy? The prosecutor should be interested in what the person did, not what he...

Trump 'Committed' to Iran Regime Change, Giuliani Says Days Before Nuclear Deadline President's lawyer and confidant calls regime change 'only way to achieve Mideast peace and 'more important than an Israeli-Palestinian deal' ■ Rohani warns of 'historic' mistake Amir Tibon (Washington) May 06, 2018 8:31 AM WASHINGTON – U.S. President Donald Trump is "committed" to regime change in Iran, Trump's lawyer and confidant Rudy Giuliani said on Saturday. The unusual statement comes just days before Trump will have to make a dramatic decision on the fate of the nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic. Giuliani, the former New York City...

Interviewed by George Stephanopoulos on This Week today, Rudy Giuliani, lawyer to President Trump, laughed in response to several questions. Clearly, Rudy wanted to show that neither he nor the President were concerned by the various allegations raised. But have a look and see if you think this was an effective strategy on Rudy's part.

The tornado that was Rudy Giuliani's media appearances this week -- plus personnel changes to President's Donald Trump's legal team -- may signal a drastic change in how Trump will approach his legal strategy as the Russia investigation and a probe into Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen swirl around the President. Trump's legal team now consists of several accomplished attorneys with extremely disparate personalities. While Giuliani, who besides his political career is a former federal top prosecutor in Manhattan, captivated journalists with disclosures about Trump this week, three fresh lawyers who've shunned media attention are positioned to handle serious legal...

Which element of Donald Trump do you delight in despising most? Every day brings a fresh example of pugnacious behaviour, another execrable opinion, more insights into his arriviste 24-carat gold tap taste or strutting vanity. We lap up every revelation; his bombast is brilliant clickbait. The Trump Show gains top ratings in our everyday dialogue; his latest tweets are a failsafe conversation starter. This week alone brought a basketload of delights (he’s the gift that just keeps on giving. No wonder sales of the New York Times are up 10 per cent). Now we know he’s the author of that...

President Trump's newest legal adviser, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, shocked White House allies on Wednesday when he admitted in a televised appearance that President Trump reimbursed his personal attorney for the $130,000 payment he made to porn actress Stormy Daniels. ..Another attorney, who requested anonymity because of his ties to Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow, said Giuliani's comments were even worse because they appeared to contradict a comment Trump made to reporters in early April about Cohen's payment to Daniels...

Former New York City Mayor and President Donald Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani said on Wednesday that the president fired former FBI Director James Comey last May in part because Comey wouldn’t assure the president he wasn’t a target of the FBI's Russia investigation. “He fired Comey because Comey would not, among other things, say that he wasn’t a target of the investigation,” Giuliani said on Fox News. “He’s entitled to that. Hillary Clinton got that and he couldn’t get that. So he fired him and he said, ‘I’m free of this guy.’” Special counsel Robert Mueller told President Trump’s attorneys...

A year ago Donald Trump suggested the media is the enemy of the people. Check out this new tweet from The Hill: Really? Here's a piece from the article: Rudy Giuliani said late Wednesday that men like senior presidential adviser Jared Kushner are “disposable,” but it would cross the line for the special prosecutor to go after first daughter Ivanka Trump. Scroll down a little more and you see what Giuliani did actually say: “Jared is a fine man, you know that,” Giuliani, who joined President Trump's legal team last month, said on Fox News. “Men are disposable. But a fine woman like Ivanka?...

As Rudy Giuliani enters the center ring of the legal fight between President Donald Trump and special counsel Robert Mueller, the former New York City mayor is already anticipating one possible battle – a subpoena for President Trump to testify. “I think it's 50/50,” Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, told ABC News regarding the possibility of a subpoena. “But I got to prepare for that 50 percent.” As ABC News confirmed earlier this week, the president’s legal team was told by Mueller he could “compel” the president to testify before a grand jury via a subpoena. As Ty Cobb steps...

Rudy Giuliani called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to intervene in the Michael Cohen case and put the people behind the probe “under investigation” in a phone call with The Hill on Thursday. “I am waiting for the Attorney General to step in, in his role as defender of justice, and put these people under investigation,” Giuliani said, reacting to an NBC News report that phones belonging to Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal attorney, had been tapped by investigators. The former New York City mayor argued that the reported wiretapping of Cohen, if true, was a blatant transgression of attorney-client...

President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said on Thursday he doubted the veracity of a bombshell NBC News report from earlier in the day that federal authorities wiretapped the president’s longtime counsel, Michael Cohen. “Us lawyers have talked about it, we don’t believe it’s true,” Giuliani told The Daily Beast. “We think it’s going to turn out to be untrue because it would be totally illegal. You can’t wiretap a lawyer, you certainly can’t wiretap his client who’s not involved in the investigation. No one has suggested that Trump was involved in that investigation. So they’re going to wiretap the...

Trump attorney and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani joined Sean Hannity Wednesday to discuss the Trump presidency and Mueller witch hunt.

Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to step in with special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and end it. According to the former New York City mayor, the original basis of the case is dead and is expanding into other things.

President Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said late Wednesday that men like senior presidential adviser Jared Kushner are "disposable," but it would cross the line for the special prosecutor to go after first daughter Ivanka Trump. "Jared is a fine man, you know that," Giuliani said on Fox News. "Men are disposable. But a fine woman like Ivanka? Come on." The former New York mayor appeared on Sean Hannity's show to attack special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion between Trump's campaign and Moscow.

Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to step in with special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and end it. According to the former New York City mayor, the original basis of the case is dead and is expanding into other things. “Everybody forgets, the basis of the case is dead,” he said. “Sessions should step in and close it. And say, ‘Enough is enough.'”Giuliani reiterated his claim that the probe was setting President Donald Trump up for a process crime.(snip)
