Rudy Giuliani will go down as one of the worst lawyers that a sitting President has ever had. He’s made Trump’s case so much worse.

There was his early statement on Fox News about Trump reimbursing Cohen the $130,000 which was brand new information and he said it even though his client was publicly denying knowledge of the entire thing. Then there was his trying to make James Comey look worse by saying he could go down for Misprison of Felony for not reporting Trump’s comments about the investigation into Flynn whilst inadvertently admitting that Trump did say the things that Comey wrote in a memo because Comey could only go down for that if Trump committed a felony and then last week he did an interview with the Huffington Post where he said that Trump used the word please when talking with Comey about Flynn. Again he inadvertently confessed that Trump did say those things.

This cartoon sums him up perfectly:

Now a further FBI report replicates this previous report in September re Russian cyber backing of Trump's election campaign but emphasis placed on how significant it was. I'm wondering if this is a prelude to Robert Mueller unleashing a "bombshell" on Trump's future existence as the US President!? Watch this space!

Trump called Michael Cohen a “rat” on Twitter. Now in the old mob days a rat was someone who flipped on their bosses and told the truth about them to the police, FBI etc. Trump’s use of the word “rat” makes him look guilty of something and that Cohen has told the truth about him.

The guy with the biggest brain and best words (bigly, covfefe, smocking gun, Scott Free) has tightened his own noose a little bit more in the public eye.

Aye! It looks the Trump administration is at an "all time low" and a government shut down now enacted. I wonder when Robert Mueller is gonna "make his move"? Sometime in the new year when we can finally shut down this OP?

Watch Trump’s entire financial life play out in the stock markets right now. Too bad the world doesn’t have daddy’s money to save it from itself. Thems the breaks.

Secretary of the Treasury calling the heads of the six largest US banks as they're on holiday from his own holiday in Mexico (don't laugh) right before Christmas to check their liquidity and any 'issues' around margins.

Trump believes his own press, he thinks his policies were responsible for the economy in 2017 so he could afford to conduct a trade war with China even if the FED raised rates. He's thick as xxxx.

Scary times ahead.

This is a very good "read" re all the reasons why a US President can actually be impeached. Abuse of power is high up in the list and it does indeed look like Trump's impeachment is inevitable. It is all about timing.

Rudy Giuliani has said that they will consider invoking Presidential privilege over the parts of Mueller’s final report that refers to Trump. If Trump is completely innocent like he says he is, why do they need to consider invoking that privilege?

The new Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff, has said previously that he will subpoena the full report if Presidential privilege is invoked or the full report is blocked from release by the Attorney General.
