"Raw Story" featured Distinguished Criminal Justice Fellow at Pace Law School Mimi Rocah in "Giuliani’s butt-dialing mishap provides the ‘smoking gun’ that leads to Trump: ex-prosecutor"
Former federal prosecutor Mimi Rocah walked through all of the ways that the president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, is in more trouble than he might think.
Former acting national security adviser Charles Kupperman refused to give a deposition to Republican and Democratic members of the Intelligence Committee Monday. MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin asked Rocah if it was time for Democrats to begin going to court to demand cooperation.
“I think the Democrats are in a very good position,” she explained. “They already have several, what I would consider as a former prosecutor, several smoking guns. The transcript itself — the summary is incriminating — the summary of the call. I think, obviously, Bill Taylor’s testimony; it sounds like [Gordon] Sondland — he too saw, essentially, a quid pro quo. That’s what his lawyer is trying to say anyway.”
But a key component of the case, Rocah said, is Giuliani’s carelessness.
