This MSNBC Panel Reacting to Rudy Giuliani's Bonkers Comments About Donald Trump and Michael Cohen Is All of Us
MSNBC

Pretty much.

Guests on an MSNBC morning show panel with Joy Reid reacted with disdain for presidential attorney Rudy Giuliani's recent television appearances, noting that Giuliani has continued to contradict himself about the extent of President Donald Trump's ties to Russian operatives and the reality of what he knew about Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential election.

“Every week Rudy Giuliani gets on TV and confesses another crime. I expect him to say in two weeks that Trump is guilty of everything," said Tara Dowell, who once appeared on The Apprentice with Trump.


“I do billion-dollar deals all the time, so some of them just kind of slip my mind, I guess," said Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne. “If there’s ever a trial on all of this, I think a whole day of the trial will just be jurors watching old Rudy Giuliani tapes and clips because the number of times, he is essentially confirming Trump lied through his teeth about doing business with Russia in that period—it’s just astounding."

Former House GOP staffer Kurt Bardella also mocked Giuliani's conflicting stories, saying:

“I don’t think he [Giuliani] understands anything that he’s saying half the time at this point. It’s almost like, does Rudy even talk to Donald Trump at all? This has got to be the worst lawyer in the history of mankind. He should be disbarred for being such a terrible lawyer. Every time he goes on television he contradicts himself...in the same conversation..it is maddening..but it is also part of what they do, throw out so many different things that it is impossible to focus on any one point.”

Many have criticized Giuliani in recent days, in large part due to the way he responded to an explosive Buzzfeed News report alleging Trump directed his former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about a construction deal for a Trump Tower in Moscow.

Giuliani recalled a conversation he had with Trump in which Trump said the Trump Tower Moscow talks were “going on from the day I announced to the day I won.”

He was immediately criticized.

Despite these contradictions, Giuliani has continued to try and impugn Buzzfeed News's credibility.

He has also insisted his "statements on collusion haven't changed."

He has also attacked Cohen on a regular basis while insisting that those who criticize the president are suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Giuliani had a flippant reaction recently when questioned about Cohen's decision to testify before Congress on February 7.

“Big deal!” he said. “I have no concerns about Cohen at all because I can prove with very little effort that he is a total, complete and absolute liar.”

Giuliani further came under fire after he suggested that Trump’s legal team should be given the opportunity to “correct” Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report before the American people or Congress see it.

“As a matter of fairness, they should show it to you — so we can correct it if they’re wrong,” Giuliani said. “They’re not God, after all. They could be wrong.”

Giuliani says it’s a matter of executive privilege.

“Of course we have to see [the report] before it goes to Congress,” he said. “We have reserved executive privilege and we have a right to assert it. The only way we can assert it is if we see what is in the report.”

Mike Johnson Slammed After Downplaying Arrest Of Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Who Plotted To Kill Hakeen Jeffries

House Speaker Mike Johnson was criticized after he deflected to call out Democrats and downlayed the arrest of Christopher Moynihan, a January 6 rioter who was pardoned earlier this year by President Donald Trump, over his threat to kill House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

New York State Police arrested the 34-year-old Moynihan after being alerted by the FBI that he had allegedly made threats to kill a member of Congress. According to court documents, Moynihan’s arrest followed a series of text messages in which he allegedly threatened the life of Jeffries, writing, “I will kill him for the future.”

Gavin Newsom Makes Perfect Analogy After Photos Of Trump Tearing Down Part Of White House Emerge

California Governor Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is doing to the White House what he's doing to the U.S. Constitution after photos of construction on the White House to build his new ballroom went viral

Earlier this week, The Washington Post published photos showing construction crews demolishing parts of the East Wing, actions that have stunned preservationists and fueled criticism that Trump was overstepping his authority to advance a personal project. A White House spokesperson said the administration plans to “modernize and rebuild” the East Wing in its entirety.
