Yesterday’s FBI raid on Rudy Giuliani’s home, in which agents seized his electronic devices, most likely is related to Guiliani’s Ukraine dealings entwined with Trump’s first impeachment.
Today, Trump’s ex-personal lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, who began singing long ago, predicted Giuliani “would give Donald Trump up in a heartbeat” to save his own butt, the U.K. tabloid Daily Mail reported (on April 29, 2021; read story here).
Cohen had no kind words for Giuliani. He called him an “idiot” (I agree) who “operates in a ‘garbage can orbit'” (hard to disagree with that one, if he’s referencing Rudy’s most prominent client), adding that, “Rudy drinks too much. Rudy behaves in such an erratic manner, that, who knows what’s on those telephones or … his computers?”. In other words, this could get interesting.
Meanwhile, Giuliani’s lawyer is screeching “attorney-client privilege and other constitutional privileges!” (Read that story here.) That could get interesting, too. What’s clear, though, is people with law licenses shouldn’t be (and usually aren’t) above the law. And neither, apparently, are Trump’s cronies and henchmen now that he’s out of office and can’t protect them anymore. So this could get bad for Rudy. Maybe real bad, as in perp-walk and go-to-jail bad. At his age, he probably doesn’t care that much about his license to practice law.
I can’t think of a more deserving guy, other than Trump himself.
