https://www.politico.com/story/2018/05/07/trump-giuliani-fallout-stormy-daniels-573196"SNIP......
President Donald Trump has shaken up his legal team in the last three weeks and hes still not happy.
The president has been griping to associates that Rudy Giuliani, his new personal attorney, has failed to shut down the Stormy Daniels hush money saga. And he has expressed frustration that Giulianis media appearances are raising more questions than they are answering, turning the story into a days-long drama capped by the admission Sunday that the president may have made similar payments to other women.
For now, White House aides said, Giuliani still has a direct line in to Trump the two speak almost daily and nobody in the West Wing is eager to insert themselves between the two irascible New Yorkers by yanking Giuliani off TV. But some aides said they expect the president to fire Giuliani if his behavior doesnt change.
In a phone interview Monday, Giuliani pushed back against the notion that the president is unhappy with his performance. If Im not up to it, I dont know who is, he told POLITICO. I know the Justice Department better than just about anyone.

I don't think anyone is up to the challenges presented by a constantly lying and scheming president, who's sole objective is to enrich himself and his cronies. Period.
Giuliani in my opinion, is grasping at straws, trying to stay relevant. Too little, too late, and too stupid.

It's two senile old coots who don't have the first clue what the fuck they're doing. It doesn't get any more complicated than that.
