Rudy Giuliani on ABC’s This Week Sunday blasted Michael Cohen as “pathetic” and a habitual liar after the longtime Trump associate said he violated campaign finance laws at President Trump’s direction.
“The man is pathetic… He’s a lawyer. He’s the guy you depend on to determine whether or not you should do it this or way or that way,” Giuliani said on ABC’s “This Week.”

The President tweeted this morning, calling him a rat.
“Remember, Michael Cohen only became a “Rat” after the FBI did something which was absolutely unthinkable & unheard of until the Witch Hunt was illegally started. They BROKE INTO AN ATTORNEY’S OFFICE! Why didn’t they break into the DNC to get the Server, or Crooked’s office?”
Cohen’s lawyer — a Hillary lawyer/friend — responded and said Cohen wouldn’t take a pardon from Trump if it was handed to him.
Well, that’s good, isn’t it? Because Trump wouldn’t give him one!

OTHER INTERESTING QUOTES
Other quotes worth noting include Guiliani’s contention that Cohen asked for a pardon and the President refused to discuss it. The former mayor thinks that’s why he turned on the President.
Rudy Giuliani says he had a conversation with Michael Cohen’s lawyers about possibility of a pardon: “I told his lawyers there will be no discussion of a pardon.”
