"There might be a gazillion Stormy Daniels," said Rachel Maddow tonight, summing up this story. We knew things were going to become very interesting when Rudy Giuliani joined Donald Trump's legal team.
On Fox News tonight, Rudy Giuliani sure let some words loose. Sean Hannity sounds shocked in this video clip, and says "I didn't know that" when Giuliani says that Donald Trump reimbursed Michael Cohen for the money paid to silence Stormy Daniels.

He said Donald Trump reimbursed Michael Cohen for that $130,000 paid to Stormy Daniels, meaning no campaign violations.
Giuliani said the money was "funnelled through a law firm."
Giuliani also called James Comey a pathological liar, and explained why the President fired Comey.
Michael Avenatti on MSNBC as the news broke said he was "speechless."
"The President of the United States should not be lying to people about this," said Avenatti. "There may be campaign finance issues, money laundering, bank fraud. This is a very serious matter that deserves the attention of the American people."

Giuliani just referred to federal law enforcement agents from the district where he used to be US attorney as "stormtroopers." What a despicable human being he is.
