President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said that as a member of the president's defense team in his upcoming impeachment trial he's preparing to argue that the president's claims of voter fraud did not constitute incitement to violence because the claims are true.
"They basically claimed that anytime [Trump] says voter fraud, voter fraud — or I do, or anybody else — we're inciting violence; that those words are fighting words because it's totally untrue," Giuliani told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl. "Well, if you can prove that it's true, or at least true enough so it's a legitimate viewpoint, then they are no longer fighting words."
Republican strategist Karl Rove told "Fox News Sunday" he thinks Giuliani has "charted a very bad course for the president" that is likely to persuade at least 17 Republicans to side with Democrats and convict Trump.
"Well, those charges and the so-called experts that the campaign has mustered to advocate them have been rejected by over 50 courts with judges appointed by President Trump, President Obama, Present Bush, President Clinton, and I think even one Reagan justice," he said.
"So if it's the Rudy Giuliani defense, there is a strong likelihood that more than 17 Republicans will (vote to convict) because essentially that argument is this was justified, the attack on the Capital and the attempt to end the congressional hearing on certifying the election was justified because all these charges are true, and frankly they aren’t," he said.
Giuliani and many of Trump's supporters have argued the courts did not dismiss the more than 60 cases based on the merits. And they point, among other things, to some 3,000 affidavits from witnesses of vote fraud.

there are a few people in DC that are more disgusting and loaded with BS than Karl Rove...but very few.
And he is certainly no “friendly adviser” to President Trump.
He is a bush con man.
Sounds right!
Continued election fraud PROOF will shut YOU TFU !
Democrats stole the election and the evidence proves it. However, we know from experience (11/22/1963) that treason never prospers, because if it prospers none dare call it treason.
Rove knows the election was fraudulent, hell’s bells, everybody does, but Rove also knows the criminal cabal will quickly kill high profile whistleblowers rather than allow them to build an organization big enough to expose the monstrous treachery. So, what Rove is doing is paying lip service to Biden et al to save his own useless hide.
Is this going to be a book? Who is willing to publish it?
I disagree. The GOP elites are under the delusion, after Trump is gone from office, he will become mr. nobody. And voters will quickly forget him.
When and where were those opportunities to see the signatures? Go ahead and vote against 75 million voters.
Rove is a piece of sh!t. End of message.
“Ed Solomon is just finishing up the Wheel Of Michigan, and it’s his opinion that the DemoCommies couldn’t have pulled off The Michizuela Steal without the help of Repukelickins...”
He is 100% correct. However, this goes beyond Michigan. Georgis, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Missouri are all culpable in this. They tried for 5+ years to turn US against President Trump. Total Fail. So, the Establishment pulled our their last resort. Vote Fraud. And, they backed it up with the help of the legislatures and courts who all REFUSED to even give the Thousands of Affidavits a hearing. This was a coordinated establishment coup against an outsider President backed by We the People to send a message that they are far more powerful and important in their goals and desired than We the People.
So, as Reagan once said, It Is a Time for Choosing. Whether WE are up to the challenge remains to be seen. But, there is No Doubt, The Establishment Fears Us. The massive military presence in DC is proof of that.
The GOP has become the lap dummy of the democrat party.
America needs to be rid of both if it is to survive.
Both are the cancer in the body politic.
The GOP, senators and reps, already turned against Trump when they refused to fight for a transparent Constitutional elections.
Oh, wait! That’s not turning against Trump that’s turning against the Constitution and We the People.
I’ve never understood why Rove is so respected and constantly brought back all the time to pronounce upon things.
He’s never seemed to prove any more correct about much than any average pollster has been.
When did team Trump ever have the opportunity to prove any of this in court?
Court after court just punted.
F you, Rove....
Cause he helped Bush defeat Gore !
You can’t Impeach a Private Citizen. WTH is all this bullshit?
Is everyone nuts?
He sure is hope he goes away.
Its turds like Rove that need to be told to stfu and go home. He has been nothing but a idiot and built his who career on basically running one successful election which was probably won in spite of him and not because of him. Since then he has never been right about anything.
Rove has an expiration date...I’m guessing someone has already started the clock on that..
Too much big mouth... someone’s going to close it permanent...
Of course not me, but he won’t shut up....there are very upset people out there...
He obviously didn’t get that and keeps taunting and poking....
Something’s gotta give.
