"It's all your fault!" Trump screamed at Giuliani & blamed him for putting Don Jr in legal jeopardy

Raw Story
August 21, 2018


A new report from "Vanity Fair"s Gabriel Sherman claims that President Donald Trump is now blaming attorney Rudy Giuliani for supposedly putting his own son in legal jeopardy.

According to Sherman's sources, Trump blames Giuliani for not taking up the job of Attorney General, which eventually went to Jeff Sessions because Giuliani wouldn't have recused himself as Sessions did, the president's logic goes.
Giuliani could have kept the president safe had he agreed to become AG.

A person described by Sherman as "close to the Trump family" claims that the president is particularly furious with Giuliani because it appears that special counsel Robert Mueller's probe appears to be turning it's attention to Donald Trump Jr., who set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting with Russian government officials to get dirt on then-rival Hillary Clinton.

"A lot of what Trump is doing is based on the fact [that] Mueller is going after Don Jr.," the source said.
"They're squeezing Don Jr. right now."

Hard to understand why that is, considering how many times Trump has declaimed his utter innocence.

I could be wrong. Perhaps I'm thinking of the former governor of New Jersey...

Rudi is not doing the best job as a lawyer (my opinion) and I think that he wants to be in the forefront of politics again, which is why he's again involved. Obviously he (Rudi) has a lot of catching up to do, in just about everything he's doing.

Perhaps the best thing for him is to simply shut up?

were hoping to be at least Attorney General, and Christie was probably Trump's top choice for VP until Manafort convinced him to pick Pence.

would have been competent enough to keep Donny Dollhands and family safe.

Sessions has been smart and downright dastardly as AG.

But Jr. had an active hand in all his Dad's misdeed's, so I wish him the sort of warm welcome in prison his dad would force any of us to get.

Trump doesn't give two shits about any of his children! He knows that because of the kind of father he is and has been, that there's a good chance that little Donnie will roll over on daddy dearest if enough pressured is applied!

Trump is only concerned with covering his own ass...Giuliani has bungled this from the beginning...it was Mayor 9/11 who began pointing the finger at Donnie and Jared...no doubt at Trump's command!!!

If Donnie goes down he still has Eric and Barron!!!

Of course this is just my opinion!!!

Rudy if you had just taken AG you could just use the office to kiss Trumps ass and be another Republican political hack in the sphere of Trumpworld.
