Here's where @GStephanopoulos asked Giuliani earlier today about one of my interviews with Giuliani —>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfe_Fplsnek …

That's not to say whether that's what happened or not, but I do think it's accurate to say that Giuliani has tried to distinguish between those two scenarios. I noted that in my story from Friday under point two of Giuliani's clarification statement:https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/rudy-giuliani-trump-clarifying-statement?utm_term=.kerNna7Rp#.pxGL7kyEG …

Sure, but...is it remotely believable that a lawyer would make binding agreements on behalf of his client without even telling his client about the existence or content of said agreements? Using money from a retainer in his trust account?
-
He wasn’t using money from a retainer in his trust account. After the fact, once the payment was made, Trump agreed to pay $35,000/mo, to repay expenses and offset taxes and interest, plus leave some profit (per RG). So. I mean, the whole arrangement is not ... usual.
-
Oh. Hm. Well, still.
-
I mean, you're assuming Cohen was applying traditional ethical considerations to a situation that raises several legal and ethical questions, so I'm not sure that's the right framework to start from.

"The retainer agreement was to repay expenses, which turns out to have included this one, to the woman that you saw on Saturday Night Live"... wiggle room in that "turns out to have included".
-
That’s not “wiggle room.” That is his whole argument. He is saying that Trump agreed to repay expenses, but that he did not know at that time when he agreed to do so that those expenses included the payment to Stormy Daniels.
-
What I meant was that it's wiggle room for Rudy if in fact (a) there was payment to Stormy Daniels; and (b) Trump knew it at the time. They are admitting (a). Rudy could be pretending not to know (b), as he is still working on some of the facts, or however he puts it.
