Rudolph Giuliani is leaving his job at a powerhouse law firm, citing the "pressing demands" of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 presidential election.

Giuliani took a temporary leave of absence from the firm Greenberg Traurig when he joined President Trump's legal team last month. But in a statement on Thursday, the former New York City mayor said he intended to permanently resign from the firm.

"In light of the pressing demands of the Mueller investigation, I believe it is in everyone's best interest that I make it a permanent resignation," Giuliani said. "This way, my sole concentration can be on this critically important matter for our country."

"I have had a wonderful experience at the firm and I wish the firm and its Executive Chairman, Richard Rosenbaum, all the very best, now and in the future. I will always treasure the personal friendships I have made with everyone at Greenberg Traurig."

1. More likely pushed out.

Half-assed crazy lawyering on the TV is bad for business

[brush]

12. Yep, after those public TV debacles I'm sure he was asked to leave.

[Scarsdale]

24. The TV appearances

provided them with excuses to jettison his wrinkled arse.

[Sanity Claws]

2. He must have got a lot of money to go on Trump's team

No way he took a LOA from the firm without bags of money up front from this client who doesn't pay.

[Perseus]

5. He dressed like a woman once to do some skit with trump

One never knows if there is some passion in the guy that would make him volunteer to be a clown for a while and then be thrown under the bus, because that is the inevitable future that awaits giuliani...Anything for his friend.

[Botany]

3. My guess is that Greenberg Traurig did not want to get the shit splashed on them from ....

... the Trump/Russia mess.

[Perseus]

4. "Resigns"????

This is a time when being a fly on the wall would have been so good.

The toxicity of trump, and the clownish TV appearance of giuliani must have triggered the decision by the law firm to allow him to "resign"..."Resign" or "Get Fired"??

What is next for giuliani? He will be under the bus very soon, just like anyone who is close to trump. Talk about the "un-midas touch" that trump has, everything he touches converts to crap.

[Mr.Bill]

10. The correct term is

"He got resigned."

[brush]

14. I'm stealing that.

[Mr.Bill]

15. Feel free. I stole it from someone else

so long ago I can't remember who.

[Jedi Guy]

33. How about this one?

He was "promoted to customer." A guy I worked for used to say that whenever someone got the axe. I thought it was amusing.

[Iliyah]

6. What a sick episode

in the USA's realm of reality. I hope Mueller got some shit on him as well.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. Rudy alone can fix it

for the guy who has a dedicated fixer and who told the nation he could fix everything alone

what, me worry?

[TeamPooka]

8. Translation: Rudy stained his rep so much the law firm kicked him to the curb.

[mpcamb]

31. Agree, they kicked his worthless, lying, costly ass out.

[Chakaconcarne]

9. Giuliani should have left well enough alone...

whatever that was.... Maybe retirement was on the horizon anyway... or maybe he goes over to fox after his 3 week gig with Trump.

[truthisfreedom]

11. Everyone who gets near this administration becomes untouchable

And unemployable, in three... two... one...

[pwb]

13. The firm recognized how much he stinks as a lawyer .

He is just a fading name.

[Gothmog]

16. The Greenberg Traurig firm is a good firm

I would not be surprise to see that rudy was shown the door. The partners at Bracewell were happy to see Rudy leave

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Ghouliani is all in. He is going down with the ship. . . . nt

[Baitball Blogger]

19. +1

[NurseJackie]

18. Pushed out because he's now an embarrassment...

... and a liability.

[Vinca]

20. I bet Rudy still thinks Don will make him AG. Keep hope alive . . .

[SunSeeker]

21. Everything Trump touches dies. nt

[pangaia]

22. :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

That is all.
Over and out

10-4

23. I read last week

That Rudy was hired for his name. Had done nothing much for 10 years.

I Gisele his name does not mean as much now.

[Paladin]

25. I imagine the champagne is flowing at Greenberg Traurig today.

Getting rid of a cancerous growth like that is cause for celebration.

[procon]

26. They probably didn't invite him to the going away party either.

Door.
Ass.
Buh-Bye.

28. He Was Fired For Buffoonery! BTW: Ladies, He Is Single!

[flibbitygiblets]

29. Thankfully I'm not a blood relative, so he wouldn' be interested

oh, and barf

[Corgigal]

30. Yeah,

so we ladies can work two jobs to feed him, after he loses it all. All should pass.

[Blue Owl]

32. Rudy's pressing Donny's pants now
