Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is joining President Donald Trump’s personal legal team to help represent Trump in the special counsel’s investigation. White House lawyer Ty Cobb confirmed the move to CNBC. “I’m doing it because I hope we can negotiate an end to this for the good of the country and because I have high regard for the president and for Bob Mueller,” Giuliani told The Washington Post.

If Mueller still doesn’t have the goods on collusion (and it looks more and more like he doesn’t) you can bet that he’s eyeing an exit strategy. Cue the left-wing meltdown in 3…2…1…
