Rudy Giuliani was hired for one reason: to immunize the Trump base from revelations of the president’s wrongdoing with respect to Russia. He has no other purpose. He’s not a lawyer here. He’s not a fixer. He’s a party mouthpiece and his job is to give the base enough information in just the right way that it softens the blow for the truth and they dismiss it as unimportant.
“He didn’t know about the payments”
“He knew about the payments but didn’t authorize them”
“He authorized them but that’s not illegal”
“It might be illegal but it’s a minor infraction. Everybody does it”
Now this:
“I never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign… I have not. I said the President of the United States,”
Next will be:
“Ok, the President was colluding with the Russians but that doesn’t mean he knew what they were going to do.”
Then:
“So he knew what the Russians were going to do but he didn’t authorize it”
“He authorized it but he didn’t know it would be successful”
“It was successful but that doesn’t mean he agreed to do anything for Russia in return”
“Ok, so he agreed to lift sanctions, exit Syria and undermine NATO but that doesn’t mean he’s a Russian asset”
“Sure he’s a Russian asset but that doesn’t mean he knew what he was doing. Everybody knows that Trump is a fucking halfwit. ”

“I got nothin'”
Now we all might be wondering why Giuliani is diving into his fall from Grace. A couple of possibilities:
1.) His recent divorce is expensive and he needs the money.
2.) He likes the attention.
3.) He’s a cynical SOB and he figures the law will catch up with Trump eventually. At least Hillary was never President.
Or all of the above.

And now this:
Isn’t Liberty University a Jerry Falwell creation? Yes! Yes, it is! Fancy that. The evangelicals were paid to rig a poll (lie to the public), in order to get a very bad, unscrupulous man elected.
Hmmm, that sounds like something that I’ve heard before…
