Rudy Giuliani has disappointed and infuriated his former colleagues in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan.

Giuliani served five years in that role, overseeing federal prosecution in Manhattan, and then famously moved on to serve two terms as New York City’s mayor, but these days he’s confounding his former colleagues with his wild TV appearances defending President Donald Trump from various investigations, reported The Daily Beast.

“I have heard not one person defend him,” said Mary Shannon Little, a former assistant U.S. Attorney who worked with Giuliani on high-profile corruption cases. “Rudy’s behavior has sparked a particular kind of outrage. He might as well be Roy Cohn.”

Cohn was Trump’s attorney and mentor, and the two perfected the future president’s legal strategy of denying any allegations and filing aggressive countersuits — and Giuliani’s former colleagues are disappointed to see their old boss tarnish his reputation in service of an apparent lawbreaker.

“Rudy would have been the first to go after a guy like Michael Cohen and use a search warrant to do that,” said Elliott Jacobson, who served in the Justice Department for three decades after he was hired by Giuliani. “The Rudy I knew was a fearless corruption prosecutor. I don’t think he would’ve had any question in going after this guy. He is in my view a different person.”

1. I've seen him on some old tv shows when he was still a real person and

people actually paid attention to what he had to say. Sad to see him now.
