Wasn’t Rudy Giuliani’s job supposed to be about the Russia investigation?  He was brought on board the President’s leaky ship of lawyers to deal with a potential Trump interview with Robert Mueller.  But last night, there was Rudy confirming on Sean Hannity Trump’s payoff to the porn star Stormy Daniels.  We didn’t see that one coming.  After denying he knew of the payment, Trump is now acknowledging it and trying to explain it away and “clarify.” Good luck with that.

And if you thought Giuliani would be put out to pasture after  interview with Hannity, think again. He joined Fox & Friends today to double down.

So, was this a planned Trump tactic or a Rudy blunder that the White House trying to clean up?  Regardless, their “nothing to see here” strategy isn’t playing so well the morning after.
