As President Trump prepares for his impeachment trial, his personal defense lawyer Rudy Giuliani is seeking a role. CNN reports Giuliani is lobbying to join Trump's trial team as he continues to push the Ukraine scheme that got Trump impeached. Trump allies warn Giuliani is a witness, under investigation and unhelpful. Former Federal Prosecutor and former Giuliani colleague, John Flannery argues it is “unlikely” Giuliani will “be there” at Trump’s trial, adding there are “very few Republicans” who want Giuliani on the impeachment defense team. Aired on 01/14/20.

https://youtu.be/uEK9oK02D1M 🍷😵😂
@Tseleng Botlhole They dropped that nut nibblin escapade. Next lie please.Fem dems are painting themselves as scum.
@Bud Fudlacker EVANKA with CHINA trade rights JARRED PAID MILLIONS BY THE PRINCE TO BAIL OUT MONEY PIT 666. Trump was stupid ENOUGH to admit Saudi ARABIA gave Trump 1 billion, Trump’s personal account. FAKE UNIVERSITY FAKE CHARITY FAKE BILLIONAIRE FAKE PRESIDENT PATHOLOGICAL LIAR PRESIDENT PUTIN PUPPET EMBRACES THE WORSE DICTATORS DISES ALLIES. YOUR idea of a PRESIDENT? YOU REALLY SET the bar VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY LOW.
Funny how he wants one of the oj simpson lawyers on his team
“Where’s my Roy Cohn?!”
coz its a good thing to have a “businessman” as president, u know, a change
Doucheowitz and TRAMP are two pedophiles in a pod.
Rudy will squeal like pig in jail
Domino Ryan ; oh let’s hope so!
Kick in all MOTHERGUCKING DEMON RAT DOORS LIKE THEY DID TO STONE AND FIXER LAWYER, MAKE THEM STAND IN SOLITARY LIKE MANIFORT DEATH TO CNN MSN OBAMA;S DOJ FBI CIA NSA TEAMS TRAITOR
Domino Ryan stop defaming pigs.
Why aren’t US crooked lawyers disbarred, in Australia Giuliani’s career would already be toast, the profession itself would have removed him.
Things today do seem backwards in many ways.
The reason Giuliani is desperate to be on the legal team is so he can be exempt from testifying.
@Jeannie Winters
Yes…they are ensnared…but, Trump…still holds the power over these insects…!!!
Trump…is so despicable, I can honestly, say…my stomach literally, gets a knot in it…at the very mention of his name…!!!
@The Lions Cub I know exactly how you feel. I can’t stand the sound of his irritating voice, much less his face.
I want to believe that all the trouble our government officials have gone to will bring that narcisstic corrupt orange clown to his knees and his little dog, too! (Judy) Make him rue the day he took that first step toward running for office.😊
Thanks to fraud traitor Trump we’re going to have a clean sweep into Folsom prison 😦😧😨
@sam getalong A crazy man representing a crazy man.
A professional lawyer/liar will eventually screw himself.
Michael Cohen can understand that comment.
But only in America: People who tell lies professionally can “win” and no matter smart comments on air, but on the ground people dont care. #stupidsupporters
Something tells me Giuliani’s insurance policy has been cancelled….he has been declared a poor risk.
Do you think there will be a helped hand suicide…..????
People are coming up dead that are friends of Donnie……
Gerald Sutton friends and enemies. Probably that murderous navy seal
It’s a safer bet that Rudy Colludie committed fraud when he filled out the application.
Put him on a stand, he’ll hang them all and purger himself in the first ten minutes.
I got my popcorn ready hoping they put him on the stand
“perjure”
@Vlodec Yes, perjure is the correct word, but what a magnificently double-edged malaprop ‘purger’ is. This country needs nothing more than to be purged of Giuliani and the other criminals he defends.
I see no reason why Rudy Giuliani can’t multi-task and work for both sides as hes been doing that already.
It’s such an occurrence when our democracy becomes a dramatic suspense comedy.
If you ask FOX and Friends, Hanity, Judge Jeannie, Jim Jordan, consevative radio prophets, etc, they would claim America is all time GREAT due to their darling President Trump.
@blueberries rasberries yes and then cry misery because of the dang gone Democrats who are against dee pressident.
Why are all Trump’s associates either in jail or having legal troubles?
COZ THEY ARE CROOKS EVERY GOD DAM ONE OF THEM, AND TRUMP IS THE KINGPIN THUG, ARREST THAT FOOL AND FIT HIM WITH A ORANGE JUMPSUIT
It’s a game known as ‘follow my leader’.
Because the criminal “nut” doesn’t fall far from the “criminal” tree…
Pub Comrad Because they’re criminals.
@Sheriff Of Nothingbutham “Crooked” Hillary is LFAO!
Trump will always be the ‘illegitimate president’.
Rudy: witness defendant, advocate. So much conflict.
Lobbyist, snot-ball, unethical liar, etc….
Leave him alone he is showing today real colors he should be paid
Rudy is preparing for his diminished capacity defense.
SayWhat 😂😂😂
Donald Trump: “I NEVER meet LEV PARNAS” hahahaha… LYING piece of SHT. 👍😉
M. Rodrigo Lemus He obviously thinks pictures of them together don’t exist, or are photo shopped !! Sorry Trumplestiltskin you can’t pretend they’re not out there
@Liz Roberts oh yeah, watch him do just that. Bet the phone call is still “perfect” too.
Remember the old joke? “I had a speeding ticket I needed to get fixed, so I took it to Giuliani. He had it reduced to manslaughter.”
Funny
Totally priceless and true
“The most dangerous place in New York is standing between Giuliani and a TV camera.”
— old New York aphorism
There is much in this reply. Rudy will do ANYTHING to get attention.
PLEASE put Guiliani in, he has EARNED it. Ohh, and let our eloquent, illustrious, well polished president testify as well.
How many likes equals Rudy’s jail time
Trump has Mitch, he doesn’t need any other defense.
