Giuliani has lawyered up.

[sheshe2]

Watergate lawyers.

1. Rudy Giuliani hires Watergate prosecutor as attorney in impeachment inquiry.

'Florida attorney Jon Sale, who worked as an assistant prosecutor on the legal team investigating the Watergate scandal, is representing Rudy Giuliani in the matter of the congressional impeachment inquiry, Giuliani and Sale both confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.

Giuliani was subpoenaed on Monday by the three committees in the House of Representatives investigating President Donald Trump's interactions with the Ukrainian government. The subpoena requests documents and correspondence from Giuliani related to Ukraine.

Giuliani has so far declined to say whether he will comply with the subpoena. Reached by phone Tuesday, Sale told CNN he had just started looking into the requests.

"What I've already learned is this is very complex," Sale said when asked if Giuliani planned to comply. "I really have to study it. I can't shoot from the hip."

"Every time I turn around, Rudy's on another TV show," Sale continued. "He and I could have a conversation, and then I turn on the television and he could be doing something else."'

5. Thanks for the detail, elleng.

"Every time I turn around, Rudy's on another TV show," Sale continued. "He and I could have a conversation, and then I turn on the television and he could be doing something else."'

The lawyers are lawyering up, then the lawyers lawyers are lawyering up … and so on and so on it goes.

10. Glad I'm retired, and they're not calling me!

[sheshe2]

12. Lol!

You could be making a bundle. However sanity and retirement are healthier. Who needs that s**t.

[elleng]

14. FEW of us need that s**t!

I had a few stressful (and productive) years working in DC, and glad as heck I'm away; looking forward to first Cherry Blossom season after these clowns are GONE!

13. What are the grounds for refusing...

...to comply with a subpoena? I thought one had to appear. Or, I used to think that before all the Trump administration members basically gave the finger to this mechanism.

[elleng]

15. Few (if any,) but don't ask me, I'm retired!!!

[no_hypocrisy]

24. Speaking as a lawyer, you can be the return of Clarence Darrow and still

lose because you're limited by the facts your client presents you.

I hope Sale got a sizable retainer in cash as I wouldn't trust Giuliani as a client -- or an attorney second-guessing my decisions. (Think malpractice action ready when Giuliani loses.)

2. So Trump's lawyer has hired a lawyer.

This president is so toxic, even the lawyers lawyers will need to hire lawyers.

[sheshe2]

7. I just posted something similar.

18. This started with Cohen

3. Crazy times we live in

Rudy hires a lawyer outside of Trump’s circle. Could be interesting.

[Iliyah]

4. Well at least Rudy G will shut up for a while.

[elleng]

16. IF he does what he's told,

better chance that ghoul will listen to counsel than that trump will.

[BigmanPigman]

6. He was just on Fux Ruse.

MSNBC showed him. His lawyers are advising him to sue Congress and Schiff. Suuuuuuure Rudy.

[sheshe2]

9. Bwahahahaha.

[MiniMe]

19. His lawyers are advising him to do that, or he is telling us that is what

his lawyers are saying. Rudy is such a loose cannon, you never know.

[BigmanPigman]

21. He was reading it off of something

that was on his side of the desk he sat at. Who knows what it really says. His lawyer must be a hack.

[ffr]

8. I don't understand how that'll help, other than to perhaps with negotiating a plea.

Which is about Ghouliani's only option.

[sheshe2]

11. He and tRump?

They can't be helped. They keep opening their mouths and digging a deeper hole.

Fugg em.

[RainCaster]

17. Will he listen to his attorneys?

I'd love it if he STFU

[sheshe2]

20. He is like tRump.

They don't know how to STFU,

They just keep digging a deeper hole.

22. MAGA-Make Attorneys Get Attorneys

Perfect!

Thanks, Gothmog.
