Rudy Giuliani and other Big Whiffs

Rudy Giuliani is out front of Trump’s legal team with new revelations about payments to Stormy Daniels, just days after the same legal team leaks the Special Counsel’s potential questions. Is there a method to this legal madness? Plus, a shout out to Mossad and our new favorite doctor. In sports, strikeouts reign in MLB, Bama tops the preseason NCAA poll, and can the Cavs take the Raptors? Joel and JC break it all down.

Show Rundown:

The Big POS: When former federal prosecutor and NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani took the helm of the Trump legal team, he predicted the Mueller probe could end in weeks. If he keeps doing cable news appearances, he may prove himself correct but not in the way he thought. Giuliani dropped a bomb into the news cycle when he revealed Trump did, in fact, know about Michael Cohen’s payments to Stormy Daniels - contradicting previous statements from both Trump and Cohen, and something that could have implications with regard to campaign finance violations. This comes the same week as the Trump legal team released an outline to the questions Mueller wants answers to from the President, in an attempt to show the Special Counsel investigation has gone off the rails. Was it a shrewd legal move, or a huge backfire?

Hot Takes: Joel gives a shout out to Mossad, the Israeli special forces that made a brazen document grab in Iran. JC delves into Trump Doc Harold Bornstein, who we can’t help feel a little bad for.

POS Nuggets: In what some people are calling an anomaly, others are calling a sign of how baseball is now played - for the first time ever, the MLB went a full month where strikeouts outnumbered hits. Joel and JC discuss why it might or might not be significant. Plus, another way-too-early NCAA football preseason ranking is out, and the guys break down what’s right, what’s wrong, and what’s probably just click bait.

Predictions: Will the Cavs take the Raptors, and will Trump be subpoenaed?
