Now Giuliani?
Seeing a pattern?
The investigation into Giuliani is of course connected to the arrest of Giuliani’s associates, Parnas and Fruman, who were part of the Ukraine matter for which Trump will be impeached.
In March of 2018, Bob Bauer, writing for Lawfare, predicted that the way Trump “uses and abuses” lawyers may well bring his presidency down.
Bauer noted that Trump doesn’t look to his lawyers for legal advice. In fact, he openly disregards legal advice.
Instead, he sends his lawyers to do his bidding. Trump’s view is that his lawyer’s job is to find a way around the law while providing him with a veil of deniability.
Bauer reminds us that Nixon’s lawyer Kalmbach managed secret funds that he used to finance sabotage and spy operations against Democrats. Kalmbach was convicted of illegal fundraising and sentenced to prison.
All eyes now on Giuliani.

In trying to give Cipollone the benefit of the doubt, Bauer concludes with:
Speaking of Trump and mob behavior, yesterday I co-authored an NBC News Think piece with Glenn Kirschner.
