Michael Cohen should be "summarily disbarred," according to Rudy Giuliani, who called the former attorney for the president's secret recordings of Donald Trump unethical and the "ultimate betrayal of trust."
"He [Michael Cohen] should be summarily disbarred - in some states what he did would be a felony, which is taping someone without permission," Giuliani, who is now Trump's attorney, told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton on "Rising."
Giuliani also once again questioned Cohen's claims of loyalty to the president, saying he is "going to lie his head off to keep himself out of jail."
"He just lied the other day - he stood up and he said 'I was fiercely loyal to Donald Trump' - no he wasn't, he taped him surreptitiously...he hid it and he disclosed it, which is maybe a bigger sin for a lawyer than a crime, it's the ultimate betrayal of trust," he told Hill.TV.

Guiliani is also using Trump to keep his own name on the lights.

(1,603 posts)...dumbass Rudy just provided it.
The irony is that Cohen and Rudy are both going to be disbarred before this show has ended.

(7,220 posts)Actually I think that changed in 2017 but at the time it was legal.
Rudy, you a shitty lawyer.

(82,849 posts)Rudy is fulminating about how what Cohen did and when would be against the law in other states, but he's curiously silent about the fact that in New York it was perfectly legal. It's almost as if Rudy doesn't understand that different states have different laws. Or he figures his intended audience doesn't understand it.
I won't pretend to understand Giuliani's motivation for keeping on with this gig. I don't think Giuliani is a fool, but he's definitely on a fool's errand, representing Trump.

Cohen recording the conversations insured he could flip to minimize his sentence if he got caught and would not be the one left out to dry.
I do not think Cohen is the sharpest knife in the drawer but I think he was smart to do what he did.
