Giuliani and Trump just can't keep their stories straight re AT&T

“The president had no knowledge of it,” the former New York City mayor told HuffPost.

“Whatever lobbying was done didn’t reach the president,” he added. “He did drain the swamp … The president denied the merger. They didn’t get the result they wanted.”

Now, to give Rudy a little credit, I’d like to see the full transcript but that one sentence “The president denied the merger” is exactly opposite of what they’ve been saying all along. It’s probably just a lawyer (Rudy) who is programmed to deny pretty much everything.

So either Trump, Rudy or the DOJ is lying. You pick.

If by drained the swamp, Rudy means Trump overflowed it with sewage, he’s right.

Told you so douggh…told you

The article says seemed to suggest that the president had a larger role.

Rudy said “The president denied the merger”…

I guess this is taken to mean that Rudy meant that Trump blocked the merger? Is that the lie?

Yes, the implication is that the lobbying didn’t work because Trump denied/prevented the merger:

“Whatever lobbying was done didn’t reach the president,” Giuliani told HuffPost. “He did drain the swamp … The president denied the merger. They didn’t get the result they wanted.”

Trump has clearly spoken out against it, and in that sense denied it. The DOJ has sued to block it, don’t think the case has even been ruled on yet. Has it?
