And while that isn’t very moral, it isn’t a crime either, so tell us, what crimes were uncovered? If Trump is the ‘mob boss’ you claim than you should have some examples of all this crimes that took place.

The difference here is the person being used is his personal lawyer, a time honored technique for hiding criminal activity because of the confidentiality privilege associated with being a lawyer. The other presidents mentioned in the article used other people yes, but not people legally allowed to participate in a scheme or nefarious activity without being legally obligated to answer questions about it in a court of law should there be a trial.
      You yourself said he used Cohen, correct? So what crime did the FBI raid uncover?

        Interesting theory.

        But in today's world, where Trump's previous attorney was hounded and threatened and had his office raided, I doubt Trump worries much about attorney/client privilege anymore.

        I'm pretty sure Trump is using Giuliani because he trusts him. He doesn't trust too many people - especially entrenched bureaucrats. I can hardly blame him.

          why is Cohen in jail?

          Source: CNN

          President Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was sentenced to three years in prison Wednesday for crimes that included arranging payments during the 2016 election to silence women who claimed affairs with Trump after the President's onetime "fixer" attributed his offenses to "my duty to cover up his dirty deeds."

          Only an idiot would claim Trump is 'not guilty' in relation to the crime he ordered Cohen to do on his behalf (there is at least a conspiracy to commit a crime there). The reason Trump was not convicted of the same has nothing to do with his guilt or innocence in the matter.

          Such may well be Giuliani's fate before all is said and done ...

            But the bottom line answer is this:

            The same reason Mobsters do it. Lawyers can't be forced to reveal the private conversations with their client. As long as Rudy is acting on the president's behalf, no agency or official function can demand his testimony about what the president has put him up to, during or as importantly after his presidency. A little extra 'insurance' in case 'executive privilege' isn't quite enough.


            Always fun to know your president has more in common with a Mobster than George Washington.
            Do you see the word 'crime' or 'criminal' in there? Did I even accuse Trump of committing a crime through Giuliani? Nope.

            You brought it up Pix.

                      Let's cut the the chase - this is boring. Trump has already used Giulianni as an instrument to pressure Ukraine into make the investigation announcement. That was part of the illegal Quid Pro Quo he was engaged in for which he will be tried by a mock court set to acquit in the Senate. Trump is using a personal lawyer for the same reason Mobsters use them - to cover their tracks. But I did not speculate as to which if any additional tracks he might be covering or wanting to cover outside the ones we already know about related to the impeachment inquiry. Just that he's put the mechanism in place and is making use of it.

                      That, just like the fact he had a 'fixer' (Cohen), and especially in light of the fact he had a 'fixer', and that in addition that 'fixer' is serving a 3 year term, is sufficient for to know it is not a good thing.

                          Well of course it’s boring because you’re making assertions you can’t prove. You have no evidence, but simply don’t care.

                            You’re accusing him of being a crime lord. Being a crime lord, implies crimes happened. What were they?

                              pix - I'll explain it one more time, after that you need to drop it. (that is not a request)

                              I am not saying trump is a crime lord. I am saying he is using the same tactics mobsters use to cover his tracks. And I do not doubt for an instant one of the reasons he wants his tracks covered is potentially illegal actions. He has already done so with Giuliani as part of his abuse of power as it relates to the Ukraine and with Cohen for who knows what but including the Stormy Daniels payoff. This then is what he has in common with mobsters. That he uses lawyers to cover his potentially illegal tracks.
