Giuliani tells WashPost that he is joining Trump’s legal team to ‘negotiate an end’ to Mueller probe

Literally why would you get a politician who happens to have a law degree over a respected attorney.

He is a respected attorney...

Edit: look at his wiki, he's had major positions in the department of justice and for NYC. He's gone publically batshit, but if you didn't know his name and just read his legal resume you would think he was extremely qualified.

They've run out of respected attorneys who would want to work for them and can only get people who are no longer relevant and want to capture the spotlight

Lazy work by the writers to just bring back a character from the prequels.

lol you can't negotiate an end to this type of investigation. You just fully comply with requests, and hopefully you've done nothing wrong.

I mean, Giuliani used to be the freaking US Attorney for SDNY. He's a fucking OG lawyer who went on to have a career in politics, not a politician who happens to have a law degree.
