Rudy Giuliani, Trumps latest addition to his attorney's list says a lot about the type of people Trump aligns himself with. Rudy's long time personal attacks against Hillary Clinton makes he and Trump soul brothers and both bring out the worst in each other's corrupt mentality. Attorney's are generally ethical people and that is why Trump has a hard time hiring respectable attorneys to represent him.
Nothing good can come out of the Trump-Giuliani relationship because neither can be trusted. That showed up this week when Giuliani appeared on Fox News, his and Trump's favorite cable network for lies. Rudy disclosed that President Trump indeed knew about his pay off hush money to Stormy Daniels through his attorney Michael Cohen prior to the 2016 Presidential election, something Trump always denied. Rudy's bomb shell was quickly addressed by the news media in general and the very next day and all this week Rudy has tried to change his story and so did Trump. All of Trump's lies as a candidate and President are being acted out non-stop and when one has to deal with people like Trump and Giuliani, lies are their method of operation and it becomes obvious.
In order to distract the news media from Giuliani's statement Trump proclaimed he would "love to talk with Robert Mueller only if he is treated fairly." Well Mr. President what is stopping you? Mr. Mueller has not said one negative word about you, but of course, every one knows how unfair you have been to his investigation and that you still call it a witch hunt even though people in your campaign have already pleaded guilty of committing crimes.
Lies, falsehoods and leaks are the corner stone of the Trump administration and all the while the American people are being exposed to a President and republican controlled congress that has been regressive and non-productive. No action on any immigration policy or debate, health care is unspoken, gun control is off the agenda, tax fairness no where to found, looming record deficit spending off the agenda, infrastructure repairs and rebuilding bill only a memory. The list goes on and on but the GOP controlled congress is in their do nothing mode and Trump has no plans to change the inaction.
Scandal, born of this President's lies continue unabated and America's character continues to diminish with the malignant actions of this President. America can not afford to allow this President to establish such a precedent for its future. And that really says it all.
