The role of a defense lawyer is to help the client minimize or avoid legal jeopardy. Generally speaking, you do not want your lawyer himself to be the subject of a criminal investigation. Yet that is the position President Trump finds himself, as his lawyer Rudy Giuliani is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation being conducted by federal authorities, according to ABC News.
Giuliani has been working closely since at least March with Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. Giuliani’s role has been to enlist the two former Soviet émigrés to pressure Ukraine to investigate various domestic opponents of President Trump — focusing first on law enforcement officials who conducted the Russia investigation, and later on Joe Biden.
Why did he get involved with Parnas and Fruman, and what did they have to offer? Parnas owns a club called Mafia Rave. He is, amazingly, the less shady of the two. Fruman has ties to Russia mafia figures and runs a company called Fraud Guarantee. If you were looking to undertake an aboveboard investigation into political corruption, those are not the two people you would pick to run it.
Parnas and Fruman were arrested at the airport yesterday, with one-way tickets to Frankfurt, the day after meeting Giuliani, and charged with campaign-finance violations. Neither had any previous interest in political activity, yet they donated millions of dollars to Republican causes after hiring Giuliani.
I wonder if Big Bubba won the short straw to be the Welcome Wagon for Rudy in prison?
Asked if Giuliani still represented him, trump said, “I don’t know.”

Giuliani's been set up as the fall guy for this latest Trump corruption fiasco. He's earned it tho'!
Hillarious. All these lawyers needing lawyers. Rudy, Barr, Pompeo, trump, flynn and who else knows who? Only the best!
To be fair, it's generally a terrible idea to represent yourself in anything of importance.

And Rudy will gran his knees and do the hunched over ANIMAL HOUSE line .... "thank you sir may I have another?"
You two have some sick fantasies. Does the FBI know about you guys?

He is probably going to completely throw Giuliani under the bus like he did his last lawyer
I dont have any objection to any investigation that is conducted fairlyCrickets from the Trump town cult here. Must be waiting for Hannity to tell them what to think.
I am wondering when they fired Rudy, and if Rudy gave them legal advice on setting up false companies to funnel money to the GOP.
