Giuliani: I never said there was no collusion, if there was it happened a long time ago

[lulubee]

With friends like Rudy, who needs enemies!

I like the part where Rudy laughs heartily at the notion that Trump knew what was in the GOP Party Platform.

[hwyflier]

Rudy has done this before. This is Rudy, lubing the truth.

Expect big reveals soon.

Either way, guiltyz

Mueller wasn’t head of SDNY a decade ago.

Indictments must be coming down soon. Friday’s seem to be a popular day for big news to be released.

Rudy screenshots always look like Rudy is reacting to some crazy thing that Rudy Giuliani has said.

Nixon didn’t break into the Watergate hotel!

I’m enjoying watching “It’s a witch-hunt!” claims clash with a statement directly from the Presidents lawyer that he had no idea what his staff might have been up to during the campaign.

The difference is extremely important. If there was collusion (the Manafort thing probably raised the question) and it was illegal, then whether Trump was involved, even to the extent of approving it, is a critical difference. It is potentially the difference between impeaching a President and tacking a little bit more onto Manaforts already weighty sentencing.
As far as Giuliani’s statement, he is only saying the obvious…that he doesn’t know what everyone in the campaign was up to. Give him a large staff of government lawyers and millions of dollars to work with and he might be able to find out. That job is already taken.

A troop of monkeys on meth would be more comprehensible and coordinated than this administration.

That might also be his “O-face,” during which he may just shout out: RUSSIA!!!

[Guntsu]

We are now at the “There was collusion, but not by Trumo stage” that is not a good look things will continue to get worse.

@GrandWazoo

Last night Mimi Rocah speculated that in the past when Rudy goes on these rants he knows that something is about to hit the fan. Joe Scarborough was asking this morning what is Rudy on?

I believe it.

There might be some ■■■■ going down soon.

Oh Michael Cohen. You were only too willing to do that ■■■■ then.

The Presidents lawyer everybody….

So I guess he’s going with a boil the frog approach to this whole thing.

Start with no collusion no collusion no collusion, then insist it doesn’t count if the President can’t be proven to personally order it, to “If the collusion happened, it happened a long time ago”

Too late everybody! Statute of limitations on conspiracy and all that.

Yeah, so funny. Rudy laughs and says “The president didn’t know what was in the party platform…” as if that’s a good explanation…

So funny.

@Candyman

No doubt Giuliani is just as senile and mentally addled as Trump is. He makes perfect counsel for the president. I almost feel for him. He has fallen so far. America’s Mayor is now just America’s Toadie.

Yeah, that should be said continually.

So, the buck doesn’t stop there? Is that it?

[DougBH]

No. A candidate is not responsible legally for what everyone working on his campaign does.
