. >>> WHILE CONGRESSIONAL
REPUBLICANS INSIST NO WITNESSES
ARE NEEDED IN TRUMP’S
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL, APPARENTLY
ONE PERSON DIDN’T GET THE MEMO,
HIS LAWYER.
HIS LAWYER. >> I WOULD TESTIFY.
I WOULD DO DEMONSTRATIONS.
I’D GIVE LECTURES.
I’D GIVE SUMMATIONS.
OR I DO WHAT I DO BEST, I TRY
THE CASE.
THE CASE. >> PRESIDENT’S PERSONAL ATTORNEY
HELPED STONEWALL TESTIMONY TO
THE HOUSE AND FOCUS MORE ON
CONSERVATIVE MEDIA INTERVIEWS
THAN THE INVESTIGATIVE HEARINGS
AND DEPOSITION, BUT NOW GIULIANI
CLAIMS HE WANTS TO TESTIFY WHICH
MEANS GOING UNDER OATH WHERE
FALSE STATEMENTS BECOME A CRIME.
DEMOCRATS COULD SEIZE ON WHAT
YOU HEARD AS AN OPENING TO
BROADEN THE WITNESS LIST.
THERE COULD EMPHASIZE THERE’S
AGREEMENT WITH TRUMP’S OWN
LAWYER AND MAYBE ALL OF THIS
DRAMA AND MESSAGE PROBLEMS IS
WHY FORMER CONGRESSMAN AND
REPUBLICAN STALL WART TREY GOUD
I DID SAYS HE WILL NOT JOIN
DONALD TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM.
THAT’S NEWS TONIGHT AFTER MUCH
TALK HE MIGHT.
IN THIS SAME APPEARANCE BY
GIULIANI, HE APPEARS TO CONFUSE
THE POTENTIALLY ASSIGNMENT
ARGUING THAT THE DEFENSE FOR
TRUMP WHO IS THE DEFENDANT IN
THIS TRIAL, THAT WOULD INVOLVE
GIULIANI PROSECUTING A CASE.
>> I DON’T KNOW IF ANYBODY WOULD
HAVE THE COURAGE TO GIVE ME THE
CASE, BUT IF YOU WOULD GIVE ME
THE CASE, I WILL PROSECUTE IT AS
A RACKETEERING CASE WHICH I KIND
OF INVENTED ANYWAY.
SO, IT’S BEEN 30 YEARS AGO, BUT
LET’S SEE IF I CAN STILL DO IT.
>> YOU ARE WITNESSING WHERE
BLUSTER MEETS CONFUSION, AND
THAT’S PUTTING IT NICELY.
THERE’S NO PROSECUTION BY THE
DEFENSE LAWYER IN AN IMPEACHMENT
TRIAL.
TRIAL. AND THAT MAY BE WHY REPUBLICANS
WHO ARE INVOLVES IN ACTUALLY
RUNNING THE POTENTIAL SENATE
TRIAL DON’T WANT GIULIANI NEAR
IT.
IT. LOOK AT THIS.
A SENIOR RUNNING BACK CAN SENATE
AIDE SAYING HE WOULDN’T TRUST
RUDY TO REPRESENT ME IN A
PARKING DISPUTE.
PARKING DISPUTE. THIS IS TRUMP’S GREATEST
WEAKNESS WHEN IT COMES TO
GIULIANI.
GIULIANI. HE’S A DEFENSE LAWYER WHO
WRONGLY THINKS HE’S STILL A
PROSECUTOR AND WHOSE UKRAINIAN
INVESTIGATION GOT HIS CLIENT
IMPEACHED.
IMPEACHED. TO QUOTE ANOTHER LOUD TRUMP ALLY
WHO’S NOT ALWAYS THAT HELPFUL TO
THE CAUSE, KANYE WEST, WITH
FRIENDS LIKE YOU, WHO NEEDS
FRIENDS?
FRIENDS? SOMETIMES THE BEST ADVICE IS NO
