monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Rudy Giuliani is still speaking for President Trump, even as his week-old comments continue to come back to bite him and complicate things for his bosses.

It was announced Thursday that Giuliani is turning his leave of absence from the law firm Greenberg Traurig into a resignation. The stated reason was that Giuliani's duties as Trump's lawyer have monopolized his time. “This is a full-time job working for the president, and we’ve got to figure this out and get this over with,” Giuliani said.

He dismissed the idea that his uneven advocacy for Trump had alienated his employer, saying that “half the firm is for [Trump], maybe half against — fifty-fifty. It wasn’t about that.”

But at least one comment Giuliani made did seem to ruffle feathers at Greenberg Traurig: when he suggested that Michael Cohen's $130,000 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels was just business as usual. “That was money that was paid by his lawyer, the way I would do, out of his law firm funds,” Giuliani told Fox News on May 2. “Michael would take care of things like this like I take care of this with my clients. I don't burden them with every single thing that comes along. These are busy people.”

Turns out, Greenberg Traurig would rather not associate itself with such arrangements.

“We cannot speak for Mr. Giuliani with respect to what was intended by his remarks,” a spokeswoman, Jill Perry, told the New York Times. “Speaking for ourselves, we would not condone payments of the nature alleged to have been made or otherwise without the knowledge and direction of a client.”

In addition to suggesting Giuliani may have burned some bridges, the statement also undercuts the idea that this is a standard practice for reputable lawyers. Giuliani's own (now-former) employer is now openly disputing a central claim Giuliani made about the Cohen payment.

And it's merely the latest Giuliani comment from last week that has caused problems and been reeled back in:

5 senior ISIS officials have been captured, including a top aide to the group’s leader, 2 Iraqi officials said Wednesday

the Stormy issue is a non-issue except for the DNC

Ho Ho, the Stormy interview brought in 24 Million viewers on a Sunday night.

President Trump has yet to contact or publicly praise Waffle House hero James Shaw Jr.

"I haven't heard anything, but that's not to say he didn't try to contact me, or not," the 29-year-old admitted when asked by CNN's Van Jones on 'The Van Jones Show' if he had been contacted by President Trump, despite White House press secretary Sarah Sanders saying on Tuesday that the White House intended to invite him for a visit.
Shaw gained national recognition after he pried a rifle from a gunman who killed four people at a Waffle House in Tennessee. Hours later, Shaw launched a fundraiser to help the victims and their families, raising more than $225,000 as of Saturday afternoon.
Last week, Tennessee lawmakers officially recognized his heroism in a General Assembly joint resolution that praised his "brave actions."

Ho Ho, the Stormy interview brought in 24 Million viewers on a Sunday night. Next you'll be telling us the DNC sent 24 Million hirelings to hold a gun to the head of American TV viewers and force them to watch the Stormy Daniels interview on 60 Minutes.

You'll post anything your right wing sources tell you to post, won't you?
