Rudy Giuliani tries to clean up his hubris-inspired mess

by Aaron Blake,

I disagree with the prevailing wisdom that Rudy Giuliani committed one giant blunder Wednesday night. When Giuliani disclosed that President Trump had reimbursed Michael Cohen for the Stormy Daniels payment, it contradicted what had been said before, yes. But legally speaking, it made some sense, especially regarding claiming attorney-client privilege and getting ahead of what might come out of the Cohen case. Time will tell.

But other parts of the Giuliani interview were clearly blunders which Giuliani is now cleaning up. And if Trump is about to dispatch Giuliani regularly to speak for him, buckle up. Because Giuliani is a uniquely Trumpian blend of confidence and lack of discipline.
