Rudy is doing Trump no favors

Two clients of Rudy Giuliani just got indicted on serious federal charges. The two men, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, were born in the former Soviet Union, are tied up with Ukrainian state-owned oil companies and marijuana ventures in Las Vegas, and a federal court found them to have stiffed business partners in the past. Federal authorities on Wednesday nabbed the two at the airport while trying to leave the United States with one-way tickets.
While everyone ought to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, these guys hardly look like model citizens.
Yet Rudy Giuliani, while serving as President Trump’s personal lawyer, has become intimately involved with Parnas and Fruman. No attorney is responsible for the character of his clients, but these two are not merely Giuliani's legal clients. They are full-fledged partners with the New York mayor, it appears. Giuliani has used the men as special envoys of a sort in his hunt through Europe for dirt on Joe Biden or the Democratic National Committee.
