Giuliani reverses: Trump should interview with Mueller
The Hill ^ | 05/23/2018 | Jacqueline Thomsen

Posted on 05/23/2018 12:19:03 PM PDT by GIdget2004

President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday that he believes that Trump should interview with special counsel Robert Mueller, in a reversal of his previous statements on the topic.

“I guess I’d rather do the interview. It gets it over with it, it makes my client happy,” Giuliani told The Washington Post. “The safe course you hear every lawyer say is don’t do the interview, and that’s easy to say in the abstract. That’s much harder when you have a client who is the president of the United States and wants to be interviewed.”

Giuliani has cast doubt on Trump interviewing with Mueller in the past. He told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Tuesday that if he were to make a decision on the interview in that moment, he would decide against it.

The former New York City mayor told The Post in the new interview that Trump has vacillated over whether or not he wants to interview with Mueller in the probe.

“There have been a few days where he says, ‘maybe you guys are right,’” Giuliani said, referring to members of Trump’s legal team who have warned him against talking with Mueller.

“Then he goes right back to, ‘why shouldn’t I?’” he added.

He also said that he was concerned that a Trump interview with Mueller could be set up to catch the president on a possible perjury charge because “truth is relative.”

“They may have a different version of the truth than we do,” Giuliani said.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Trump giving Mueller an interview. Over the telephone. Through the glass in Mueller’s prison.

Rudy may be a double agent. Sorry if already said.

I am. The same as I was right when I noticed Trump on escalator day.

Was Cruz (barring an alternative), but Trump locked it for me in Iowa.

Nooooo...........it is a trap. Just because Meuller said he will not indict, if the left wins both houses this year they will still impeach him.

Read the article. Rudy doesn’t want him to do it, but his client Trump wants to do the interview.

I wonder how the public would react if the corrupt media were to broadcast daily, Trump said, "No way he would ever talk, it's just way too risky, never going to happen, etc"

I would guess that would leave questions in the minds of many out in the hinterlands as to why Trump was so fearful of an interview. My hunch is Trump is effing with their minds.

Giuliani is and has always been light in the loafers as a man and a politician. He talks a big game, but does not deliver. If your client wants to testify, and you know it is a bad idea, you resign. You do not allow him to destroy himself.

Why do we have to nit-pick every possible what-if scenario here?

because many here are legends in their own minds ... and clairvoyant too ...

If President Trump would agree to it, it would only take about 30 minutes of a practice session to illustrate the point that he shouldn’t agree to an interview.

I agree with this.

And don’t forget the kneejerking.

I’ve done it. You’ve done it. We’ve all been guilty of it from time to time. But threads like this - from the Hill - seems specially designed to provoke kneejerking responses.

.... Well .... Giuliani should demand, just to be fair, on getting the same amazing deal that Hillary Did ... You know ... Like a guarantee to be Exonerated well before the interview, and not being under Oath when actually Interviewed. I mean obviously... What is good for the Goose ... Is also good for the Gander.

... Then when the deal is turned down ... Go public with it saying ... "We just wanted the same treatment Hillary did ... "

Tell Mueller he has to falsify his interview notes, just like Strouk.

I hope you’re right. Trump should know better than to take the bait and fall into a trap.
