Fox News analyst and columnist Andrew Napolitano wrote in a recent column that President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani has told his friends that the real reason he bashes special counsel Robert Mueller is not to change the outcome of the investigation, but rather to convince the public that Trump shouldn’t be indicted or impeached if that’s what it comes down to.

“He has assumed two roles for his most famous client — as legal strategist and as cheerleader,” he wrote in an editorial Thursday. “As a legal strategist, he brings a wealth of experience in federal criminal procedure, but he has no serious experience defending a person accused by the feds — hence his morphing into the cheerleading role, in which he has candidly acknowledged to friends that his goal is not to dissuade the special counsel from pursuing his client but to influence public opinion so that if an indictment or impeachment of Trump were to come down, it would generally be unacceptable to the public.”

    If I had Giuliani as my lawyer, I’d plead guilty to get away from him before he had me sentenced to life imprisonment for a parking ticket.

    He’d be wrong about that.

  3. “I wonder if Rudy could keep his mouth shut for one day?” Said no one this century.

  4. Well, duh.

    Giuliani was my lawyer once. I got a citation for J-walking. He got it plea’d down to murder-2.

  5. He has three roles including legal strategist, cheerleader and HEAD CLOWN!
