Giuliani Laughs His Way Through Stephanopoulos Interview
YouTube ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/06/2018 9:38:58 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Interviewed by George Stephanopoulos on This Week today, Rudy Giuliani, lawyer to President Trump, laughed in response to several questions.

Clearly, Rudy wanted to show that neither he nor the President were concerned by the various allegations raised.

But have a look and see if you think this was an effective strategy on Rudy's part.

Like Joe the Groper laughed through his debate with Paul Ryan when they were VP candidates. Apparently it worked.

I'd be more inclined to think Giuliani is purposely throwing bait to the media and then he and Trump sit back and watch them run with it.

I agree with you. He may be caught into the same ‘Vanity Trap’ as Sheriff Arpaio, who remains tied up in the pursuit of lost causes, such as Obama’s Birth Certificates, and is the only one who doesn’t get the futility of that effort. Giuliani thinks he’s winning by scrambling or confusing perceptions. Not necessarily.

I predict (I hope) by Wednesday, we will be seeing a lot less Rudy on the TV in reference to the President. Remember when KellyAnne Conway had a string of ‘mis-statements’ or unclear messages. She was pulled off the front lines for a while.
It happens to all of us, even the heavy hitters like Giuliani. Simply put, Rudy is not helping at this time.
Those of us who support this president, do no favors by remaining blind to the overall effect.

He didn’t overplay it at all, this video is cut so many times you’d think it was making chipped beef!

Exactly. And here I thought libs were the only ones dumb enough to fall for a cheap snooze media trick like this.

I lived in Manhattan in the 80s

This is so weird

Rudy back then was this hard assed never laughed prosecutor chasing bent nose capos on the local nightly big apple news

Now he’s Bob Newheart

And the womanizing stuff

I like him as a personality now but man I never figured he’d be so jovial

You bet. I call them as I see them. He was a great mayor but that was 20 years ago. Hasn’t done much good since.

Yes, massive disinformation campaign(s); MSM not really credible; who really thinks Donald Trump took on a disease prone porneia woman?

Rudy’s use by date has expired. Put the old stupid coot out to pasture.

Your watching greatness and do not realize it. President Trump and Rudy are playing the Liberals as Martin and Lewis. Its the Best Damn show in town.

See the full interview. This laugh montage is designed to malign Rudy Giuliani. It shows how the media operates with other interviews, where they cut and manipulate the content to say what they want. And the American public is getting sick and tired of their con game.

Spot on! It is interesting that this montage was made so quickly. The Left is in a panic that the big hitters will spoil their coup attempt.

I am not impressed by Giuliani. His mind is not as sharp as it used to be. He should never have gone on Hannity if he didn’t have his facts straight.

I have been very impressed with how Giuliani was as a prosecutor in the old days, exceptionally impressed with how he cleaned up NYC, and very impressed with Mayor Giuliani during and after 9/11/01.

But his recent appearances have me a bit worried. He does seem to have lost some of his sharpness from just a few years ago. Hope I'm completely wrong on this, and that he and President Trump emerge from this insane witch hunt with a big victory.

Little Georgie just got taken to school by the master. He packed his lunch, pulled on his big-boy pants, put on his backpack and got taken to school.

I loved every second of it.

"I prepared the video."

You made the video? So, you think it is neat to make Rudy Giuliani look like a giggling girl? If I was a nun, I would break that ruler over both your hands and send you to the corner, with dunce hat on head!

It was no worse than Biden’s performance in the VP debate with Paul Ryan.

Why do you want to mock Guiliani and make him look bad?

The issue apparently is not about stormy daniels but the timing of the payment and the conversation(s) that led up TO the payment.

That allegedly Trump's lawyer has used words that say "we have to do this before the election" indicating the scandal / payment might influence the election and THAT is the issue they're hammering.

If Trump's lawyer DID use those kinds of words, it can be argued it is election tampering.

"I am not impressed by Giuliani. His mind is not as sharp as it used to be. He should never have gone on Hannity if he didn’t have his facts straight."

I am impressed with Rudy. I wonder if you listened to the full interview. You would have seen that Rudy held his facts concerning the Witch Hunt well. His words flowed out with no absence of thought even when Stephanopoulos used the interruption tactic to cloud Rudy's facts. The laughs were very appropriate and signaled to the public that Stephy's questions were idiotic talking points by the smear campaign. I laughed myself when I heard them. Didn't you?
