Not a good look. (A great look for us.)

I heard the staff and DUmmies over there are all drinking Drano.

One of the most bizarre aspects of the investigations engulfing the Trump administration is the lawyers involved. Here we have a presidency on the line, and this is Trump's team? The top legal spokesmen for each side are . . . Rudy Giuliani and Lanny Davis!? Up until this point, though, Giuliani was the Great Contradictor and Davis was merely a colorful character.

Helderman, Davis is backing off two massive claims he made in recent weeks, including that former...
