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.

Trump is a big boy. I am a lawyer. I tell my many clients “you get my opinion,not what you want to hear but you do not have to do what I say. If object to that, I will quit ( and you will pay me for my advice anyway) — GO TRUMP— Put it on TV!! This country is now behind you!! KICK HIS DEEP STATE BUTT!!

DON’T DO IT! Mueller cannot be trusted, period. None of his people can be trusted, period.

Let Mueller swing in the wind. Tell him you might talk to him after the November elections, but then, again, you might not.

Apparently Mueller can’t subpoena a president, and by then, he might be found guilty of lying to Congress, abuse of authority or lack of authority for his Special Counsel position and investigation, malicious prosecution or persecution, lying to the public (a Big No No by liberal standards), and being an egomaniacal bastard in betraying our country and the Constitution.

Otherwise, Mr. President, you can talk to him LATER.

It is amazing after three years of watching Donald J. Trump in action that some of us still can’t figure out that this man never shows his true hand especially when he’s in combat against the Deep State! It’s a ruse! Trump knows damn well that Mueller is trying to lay a trap for him. He sent Rudy out there to send another misdirection play at them!

Gonna have to wait for the actual context of why these statements were made - Rudy ain’t stupid and neither is Trump.

No presidential interview without a parallel interview under oath by Giulliani of Clapper and Halper.

You guys are so sharp. You could get out your popcorn and enjoy watching our VSG stay one step ahead of these POS. He’s let them fully commit. Their flank is totally exposed. “Bob, I’ll be the one asking the questions. We’re here to talk about your involvement in Uranium One.” Well I’m just guessing but you armchair FR geniuses are so much smarter than our VSG. Yeah, Trump’s just a dummie and Rudy was a poor choice on his part and sessions is a swamp critter and Trump’s just too dumb to fire him. Pathetically, it’s just knee jerk bashing on the part of you armchair FR geniuses. Thank God we can bail out of this bottomless pit of angry freepers and head over to The Last Refuge. Now go slap your momma and tell her she should be thankful to let you stay in her basement, feverishly typing away,

I’m not sure where Rudy learned to practice law, but when I give legal advice to a client, I give it in private.

He clipped a coupon in a comic book—ruined the back cover but was worth it to get his very own law degree.

Keep the tease. Then declassify everything and state that you will answer questions on these documents only.

Maybe, but so far I am non-plussed by his advisers.
