In just one week, Rudy Giuliani, acting as Donald Trump's lawyer, has changed previous no-collusion denials to admit the 2016 Trump campaign might have colluded; backtracked from that; admitted Trump was negotiating a Moscow tower through the last days of a campaign in which he vociferously denied any Moscow deals; dismissed the notion there would've been anything wrong with Trump possibly directing lawyer Michael Cohen's congressional testimony; and suggested he knew that Trump didn't urge Cohen to lie because "I heard the tapes."
Tapes? "I shouldn't have said tapes."
Cry not for him, but for all those who cheered his inauguration as New York's 107th mayor 25 years ago this month and applauded his ensuing victory over crime. This is the way a man's credibility ends _ not with a bang, but a whimper.
