Rudy Giuliani in Talks to Join Trump's Legal Team

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been in talks to join the President Donald Trump’s personal legal team, according to a person familiar with the matter. No decision is currently final.

A slew of foreign policy matters which Trump has had to deal with has slowed the process of expanding the president's legal team, according the person familiar with the matter. Trump’s time has been absorbed by North Korea and Syria, which has limited his availability to speak with potential new members of his legal team.

Giuliani did not immediately return a request for comment. But he is a close ally of the president, having campaigned closely with him during the 2016 election. Giuliani gave an impassioned speech in favor of Trump at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

“What I did for New York City, Donald Trump will do for America,” he said at the convention. “I have known Donald Trump for almost 30 years. And he has created and accomplished great things. But beyond that this is a man with a big heart. Every time New York City suffered a tragedy, Donald Trump was there to help.”

4. Attorney client privilege

[More_Cowbell]

15. That's what I was thinking, they might have some conspiracies in common

So they could share representation.

[louis-t]

5. Nothing but excuses for why he has no legal team.

He's soooo 'busy'. Doin' all that presidentin'. North Korea and Syria are taking all his attention. I guess when you only work 12 hours a week, there's only time for so much.

6. "A fool for a client has a fool for a lawyer"

[MBS]

23. +1000 n/t

[janterry]

7. I suppose that crap might play to someone outside of NY

but no one who actually lives there thinks Trump has a big heart or has done a thing (not one single thing) to help out the City.

8. Hahahahahahaaaaaa

[MGKrebs]

9. Yeah, that's a gravy train...... as long as it stays on the rails.

And it's already got a couple of wheels off.

20. Don't forget Kellyskank Spinway and slow-eyed Chucklebee!

[stillcool]

11. that's priceless..

another egotistical gas bag. He probably wants to get a look at what the feds have on him.

[gerryatwork]

12. Since Trumps money laundering and real estate schemes go....

...back before Giuliani's term and through it, I wouldn't be surprised if he is complicit with some of the stuff that was going on.

[rsdsharp]

13. Didn't Rudy say he would never represent Trump

because Trump views a layers invoice as the opening of negotiations.

I guess it's different if fees are being paid by campaign contributions.

[dweller]

14. I would think there would be

a conflict of interest ... surely Rudy is criminally complicit somewhere ...

[Yavin4]

16. And now, this

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Would be very good to root compromised Giuliani's traitorous FBI agents out of the NYC office

Until then, Giuliani is at least compromised.

There is a good chance he is complicit in Trump-Russia.

[Sedona]

18. Another swamp creature

Feeding at the trough of GOP donors

[BumRushDaShow]

21. OMFG

It must be Thursday.

[Leghorn21]

22. Confirmed via WaPo:

Rudy Giuliani tells WaPo he has joined Trump's legal team dealing with the Mueller probe.https://www.was

[Le Gaucher]

25. As long as the 'end' is about which maximum security prison will Trump spend

The rest of his miserable life in - I am cool

[Paladin]

24. Talk about a sure means of hastening trump's removal from office.

Do it, Rudy!

26. Sometimes I've wondered if his pursuit of Gotti was to get rid of his patrons competition.

And that was during the 90's when he was supposed to be "America's Mayor" - and yet, while the Costa Nostra and the established gangs were getting weaker, the Russian and Mainland Chinese Mobs we're getting stronger...
