In an exclusive interview with "The Beat," Donald Trump's former personal lawyer of 15 years, Jay Goldberg, goes public with tough criticism for fellow Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, critiquing his work, competence and service to Trump. Goldberg suggests Giuliani may have opened himself up to criminal liability and that he was “seduced” by the Trump “lifestyle” which drove him to lose "his sense of balance." Goldberg also dishes that he personally advised Trump not to hire Rudy Giuliani, and says now is the time for Trump to fire Giuliani, given the impeachment probe and Giuliani's own criminal investigation. Aired on 10/17/19.

'Off The Rails' : Longtime Trump Lawyer Slams Giuliani On Ukraine And Criminal Exposure | MSNBC
Sorry Jay nobody gets “ seduced” by a millionaire president… they get cash!
Arthur Morgan
There must be a few million stashed in that Oval Office wall safe as it gets replenished every other week
Millionaires are not that bad, billionaires are a disaster for the economy and many other things that effect our lives.
Worked for Joe Biden’s family didn’t it??? Is Joe giving back the $900,000 he got from the Ukraine deal?
I’m surprised the Orange Clown hasn’t throwed Ghouliani under the bus yet. But I believe he will soon once he knows he’s in trouble.
*Oh he will soon and all the inbreds that Support their Orange Master TrumPutin*
He started to the other day with “You’d have to ask him if he’s still my lawyer…”
They will throw each other under the bus.
They aren’t lawyers…
They’re “outlaws”.
Just like the “Conman-in-Chief” himself.
Liars
They always project.
Commander-in-Thief….
That is what they are, criminals that abuse the law and tax money far to long.
you’d have to be slow , to think everybody doing trumps dirty work makes trump clean
They become TREASONOUS like TRUMPUTIN.
It’s not seduction it’s called a treasonous heart.
or just corruption
@Rosalind Barbier Or both.
“9/11 never forget” … buildings don’t fall that way naturally.
This is double talk. Red herring. That old guy is so corrupt, and that young guy is there to keep the crap from dripping out the the old guys diaper. Try again donny.
@Tj Duncan – quite literally. On the news. In plain sight. Lol
@Lotta Sunshine uhh..ok..I don’t think anyone is questioning his intelligence,quite the opposite in fact. I think he was smart enough to take the opportunity of the interview to instruct Rudy is all
ROFLMAO 😀😁😂🤣😃😄
I was thinking the exact same thing! This minder/ babysitter sat beside Goldberg to restrain any braggadocio that would be incriminating.
@Tj Duncan Goldberg has just made sure that Giuliani can’t get rid of the book. He’s throwing Rudy under the bus to insulate Trump from blame.
Tess Bennett, I think you are correct. But Goldberg also didnt take to kindly to being brushed aside to make room for “new blood”. Trump forgot that Goldberg was set free with a heck of alot of power to bring the Trump dynasty along with any associates down. This “book comment” was a warning shot. Goldbergs age = undeniable experience, knowledge & powerful contacts galore. He may or may not still feel loyal to Trump and this is a good way to send that message.
Is the attorney on the right blinking in Morse code or something? It’s seriously distracting.
Hahahahhahahah you just made me notice lmol
Rudy should be disbarred for defying a congress
Agreed, if Rudy Condracula gets jail time. It needs 2 b vampire years. Like if he gets 40 human yrs. Vampire Rudy needs to get 40 thousand yrs.
Did you know that Pelosi and Schiff are using the Russian “Play Book of Rules and Regulations of Impeachment?” They are conducting the Impeachment hearings almost word for word out of Soviet Law. Can you believe they would try this stuff on an American Congress??
Rudy can act as a “jailhouse lawyer” while disbarred, behind bars 👍
TRUE AND JAIL. TREASON IS DEATH.
Jay will always stand in Treasonous Trump’s corner and defend him, but it’ll be so interesting to allow him to keep talking…
Then why is Jay disclosing palace secrets that may feed the Congressional inquiry ??
@sush139 that was a very wink wink for those who may be listening. The way he worded it seems to me that if the house was able to get there hands on that book it may help crake that case
Mulvaney: ” Get over it.”
Me: Hey Mulvaney, here’s a bus, get under it.”😄
Mulva?
Trump’s gonna say the same thing.
Don’t look now, but we need a bigger bus,
I don’t think Mulvaney will be around much longer.
Congress and SDNY y’all need to subpoena this Giuliani book.
Just keep him making talk show apperances, he’ll give it up.
Giuliani, Cohen and Jay Goldberg are all, slimy, creepy thugs. Criminals all.
Of course they are!!! Look at their creepy, crooked, criminal client!!!
Jay Goldberg knows when to fold them tho.
Goldberg was the craftiest of them all.
One by one, all in Trump’s Criminal Enterprise will fail… Trump’s nothing more than a Russian Puppet…
i have always believed #TratitorTrump and his wife #MedicoreMelanie were a russian set-up by #PootyPutin …
@darlene harris
Heard that before and not hard at all to believe…
@darlene harris the tRump’s were not set up. They agreed to Putin’s plans. Treasonous SOB’s!
Amen, brother!
GOLDBERG: “Rudy has a book…”
TRANSLATION: “Rudy, get rid of that book…”
CONGRESS: “Where’s the book…”
GUILIANI: “What book…?”
@Jack Boot 🤣🤣🤣 he would too!!!!
Exactly
That’s what it sounds like to me.
I’ve never seen this book that’s in my hand right now! How dare you accuse me of having this book that I don’t not have! I’m proud to have this book!
Jack Boot, 🤣😂🤣
If your lawyer needs a lawyer, then you probably need a disguise, a passport, and an escape plan. 😄
And don’t forget – purchase a round-trip ticket.
@Betty M. A one-way ticket. You would come back only when it is safe to do so.
Hope you know a guy with a vacuum cleaner shop and you have the cash to pay.
No. THE smell of fear would follow him. Easy to find.
Davis J., good one😁👍🏼
Giuliani is not defending Trump as an attorney, but as an accomplice.
@SouthSide Chicago go away while we figure out what to do with you traitors, I don’t think it’s feasible to hang all trump followers.
@jkieck73 Just remember, we aren’t going anywhere. We run this country and no phony impeachment attempts or pathetic democratic candidate is going to change that.
TRUE
Jay is trumps Obi wan Kenobi-“there is nothing here to see”
Criminal exposure is what Trump uses to get that orange tan.
MVVpro 😀 😅 😂
Let’s be clear: this is a guy bragging about being so good at getting criminals get away with their crimes
Exactly Goldberg is a THUG.
Donald Swamp it’s beginning to look like all who worked for Trump are thugs, crims and generally scum
Right. I do not trust Goldberg, what is he up to? Is this his application to the White House?
I know I was thinking the same but then he announces what could be very incriminating evidence. What is he playing at?
The next person who claims Trump is insulated from any wrongdoing needs a bullet between their eyes
