The Trump lawyer showed up on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” Thursday night, and once again did what he apparently does best: cause more damage to his client. On Twitter, “Cuomo Prime Time” shared a key part of the interview that host Chris Cuomo conducted with the former New York City mayor :
“He has lied all his life… a person who is found to be an incredible liar, he’s got a tremendous motive to lie now… I don’t think anyone believes that.” Rudy Giuliani dismisses report Michael Cohen claims Trump knew in advance of 2016 Trump Tower meeting https://t.co/xd4PFYYpcQ pic.twitter.com/9gxjNGWLRA

As seems to happen these days after every one of this hapless TV appearances, Giuliani once again caused a social media firestorm, with critics across the political spectrum eagerly parsing his words. Here, for instance, is what Joe Walsh, the conservative talk show host and former Republican congressman from Illinois, had to say:
Rudy Giuliani said tonight that Michael Cohen has been lying for years.
Uh…Michael Cohen has had one, and only one client, for years.

That observation was made countless other ways on Twitter, including:
