Trump's axis of evil felt Giuliani's free-wheeling monologues were hurting the president.

‘Stop talking’: Trump advisers want Giuliani dumped

“Rudy Giuliani needs to stop talking,” said a former campaign official who remains close to Trump’s [axis of evil].
<snip>

Giuliani fed Trump the information that largely led the president in a phone call to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The former New York mayor had spent months trying to make contact with Ukrainian officials to collect evidence and convince them that they should be looking at Hunter Biden’s work for a Ukrainian gas company and Joe Biden’s Obama-era efforts to have a Ukrainian prosecutor removed over corruption concerns. There is no public evidence that either Joe or Hunter Biden broke any laws.

“It’s so messed up,” he said. “You’d think a president would want to have competent counsel if you’re talking about fighting for your political life. We’re so far not seeing that with the caliber he’s been using.” - Politico


I love knowing that it'll be both Ghouliani's incompetence and tRump's arrogance that'll get them arrested or impeached. Couldn't happen to two more ethically bankrupt individuals. What do their wives think???

Melania probably has to time it right though so she can get her pre-nup before the Trump “empire” collapses from losing it’s “funny money” support system.

Anything that is illegal for for state and the campaign to do, the lawyer did it, and has lawyer client privileges. Anything he couldn't legally do as a private lawyer and campaign operative, he did thru State, and no oversight is constitutionally permitted.
