Giuliani to Join Trump’s Legal Team
Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor and longtime friend of President Trump, will join the president’s legal team in an effort to “quickly” resolve the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference and possible ties to Trump associates.
Mr. Trump will also bring on Jane Serene Raskin and Martin R. Raskin, former federal prosecutors based in Florida, according to Mr. Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow.
“The president said, ‘Rudy is great. He has been my friend for a long time and wants to get this matter quickly resolved for the good of the country,’” Mr. Sekulow said in a statement.
The additions give Mr. Trump a broader legal stable to rely on as he faces not just the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, but the threat of an investigation by federal prosecutors in Manhattan into the president’s longtime personal lawyer and fixer, Michael D. Cohen.
Mr. Giuliani is himself a former federal prosecutor and is going through a divorce from his third wife, which is playing out on the gossip pages of The New York Post.

The Trump Reality Show goes on...
Did Matlock and Perry Mason have prior commitments?
Fred Thompson died or Trump could have hired him.
Fred Thompson would have never joined Trump's clown car. He had too much integrity.
Integrity is something Giuliani sold long ago, and tried to buy it back with the 9/11 atrocity. However, even that was not enough to buy it back.
Adding the senile and confused Rudy Giuliani seems to be par for the course in this reality show of a presidency.
... comedic value...
He's a crook himself. Maybe the prosecutors can investigate him in their spare time.
He is also a serial adulterer so no wonder Trump wants him on his team.
Oh my....this should be good. Taking on Giuliani to represent him will not be good for Trump. Giuliani is so corrupt himself that he certainly is not in a position to defend Trump against even a secondary lawyer.
And the side show goes on.....with one more clown joining in the circus.
I love Giualani! Our Country's mayor after 911. How easily we forget.
Giuliani probably has vulnerabilities himself if they investigate his hanky panky with the New York office of the FBI during the 16 election.
I don't think anyone has forgotten. But 911 was a long time ago, and Rudy has long since overdrawn the credit of sympathy he earned then.
Seriously dude? He forgot that 9/11 happened on his watch.
He's hardly alone. Bush ran his second campaign on "He kept us safe!" And he was elected...
How easily we forget? Seriously? He didn't even remember 9/11 happened on his watch.
Experts agree Trump needs a White Shoe Washington Lawyer. He is getting a High Heel New York Lawyer...
Rudy's high heels are why Trump likes him so much:
Trump has hair, sort of. Giuliani does not have hair. But, and most importantly, both of them are 'mouth maws' whom hold themselves in the highest respect above all others. This will be interesting.
Hey Rudy? Anyone ever figure out what happened to those hundreds of millions of dollars that went into the Firemen's boots after 911 and disappeared forever? Or what happened to all of the gold, silver and jewels that were secured in the basement of Tower One? And that Kerik guy, has it ever been determined how much money he got away with?
There are a lot more questions, but these three are good starters.
Giuliani has said, loudly bragged even, more then once on FOX during the election that he was receiving and revealing information about the Clinton Campaign leaked to him by active FBI Agents in the New York Office. When Comey was told of it he ordered an investigation, but was fired before the investigation was completed. The investigation certainly didn't go away (they never just do) so it is either being handled by the Justice Department IG, who is due to release a report within what is it, 2 weeks, or it was folded into the Mueller investigation. So it is certainly appropriate that Trump has hired another attorney that is a subject of a Justice Depart/FBI investigation, just like the one who is going to flip on him like a circus act when he is looking at the 30 or 40 years the Federal Prosecutors wave at him. I wonder how many years it will take for Federal Prosecutor to wave at Giuliani before he names the FBI Agents who leaked classified information to him?
Pulling another body from the recycling bin?
Who's up next, running out of folks to pull off of the ash heap of history.
It's funny to watch the pathetic wallowing by the far left, Left Wing Liberal Nutjobs. Have you figured out who to run in 2020 yet? It's not that far off you know. Or you can keep looking backward, wallowing in your hatred.
You know that Mayor Giuiiani ran one of the largest cities in the country successfully for many years. I'm going to guess if you add up all the accomplishments on the commenters on this article, it would be an ant hill compared to what he has done in his life. Keyboard Warriors Unite! You are really becoming the laughingstock of America.
Politics has nothing to do with it, Giuliani is yesterdays news. Like Gingrich, Palin and others he is looking for relevancy in a modern world.
Politicians seem similar to aging athletes, sometimes they just don't know when it's time to hang them up.
And Rudy was "Documented" too.
