Or as someone tweeted today.... this may be the first time a rat has jumped onto a sinking ship.

He last worked as an actual lawyer in 1989; his more recent employment in law firms was only as a consultant and lobbyist. That nasty old fuck will be about as useful as tits on a boar-hog.

I read tweets this morning that, by naming Giuliani as his (Trump’s) personal lawyer, the two can tidy up their testimonies to reduce legal risk. Ordinarily this would be witness tampering, given Giuliani is probably on Mueller’s witness list and Trump is surely a suspect. But the legal waters will now be muddied by potential lawyer-client privilege. Given that Giuliani hasn’t served as a lawyer in a courtroom since 1989, this sure looks like more obstruction of justice on Trump’s part.

Just a matter of time before Trump will recall that he's met Michael Cohen once or twice but hardly even knows him.
