GREENBERG TRAURIG FIRES RUDY ON THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE COMEY FIRINGMay 10, 2018/1 Comment/in emptywheel /by emptywheel
For the last few weeks, Rudy Giuliani has been on a temporary leave from his firm Greenberg Traurig in a quest to negotiate the end of the Mueller probe of Donald Trump within weeks. As part of that goal, he has been badmouthing his former AUSA Jim Comey, calling him a disgraceful liar and a very perverted man.
GT’s Chair Richard Rosenbaum just issued a statement explaining that,
When Rudy Giuliani took an unpaid leave of absence from the firm, his intent was to play a limited role, for a short period of time, to address specific matters for President Trump. After recognizing that this work is all consuming and is lasting longer than initially accepted, Rudy has determined it is best for him to resign from the firm, effective May 9th.
Let’s be clear: this was not Rudy’s decision. The reputational cost of Rudy’s antics to the firm surely drove it.
Which is to say Rudy was made to resign. He was fired, effective May 9th.
What I especially love about it is the irony of the date: Rudy was fired on the one year anniversary of Comey’s firing.

Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.
