Giuliani says Flynn offenses like 'spitting on the sidewalk,' calls Mueller team 'sick puppies'
Fox News ^ | 12/3/2018 3 hours ago | Samuel Chamberlain, John Roberts

Posted on 12/04/2018 11:16:01 PM PST by conservative98

President Trump's attorney Rudolph Giuliani told Fox News on Tuesday night that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn had admitted to offenses comparable to "spitting on the sidewalk" after Special Counsel Robert Mueller recommended minimal prison time for the former three-star Army general.

In a sentencing memorandum and a heavily redacted addendum filed Tuesday evening, Mueller's team said Flynn had met with investigators 19 times and provided "substantial" help to investigators about "several ongoing investigations." In addition, prosecutors said Flynn had provided "firsthand information about the content and context of interactions between the [Trump] transition team and Russian government officials."

In response, Giuliani told Fox News that nothing in the sentencing memo suggested collusion between Trump and Russian officials. The former New York City mayor lambasted the Mueller team as "overzealous media-inspired prosecutors."

"They are sick puppies," said Giuliani, who added: "This whole thing started as an orchestrated attempt to take the president out of office as an insurance policy."

None of which is illegal.

Hillary was not supposed to lose. American people and the Electoral College be damned.

I heard this Giuliani interview the other day on YT...He said manafort was still in solitary (4-5 months now). He's in his cell for 22 hours a day and then they take him out occasionally and question him. They're trying to force him to testi-lie

It sounded like Manafort is getting worse treatment than the prisoners at gitmo. What a country, eh?

creepy Mueller needs to be indicted. he is ruining the lives of people, simply because they supported Donald Trump’s campaign for the presidency.

it is sending a terrible message to anyone who is not SELECTED by the Deep State that they shouldn’t run in the future, and warning everyone else not to support any outsider who does choose to run.

Beyond infuriating.

Forget ethical...is that even legal? No prisoner advocacy groups out there care? Are there no honorable, ethical people in the doj or congress anymore?

The CIA kept a Soviet defector (Yuri Nosekno) in a cage for over 2 years and tortured him. Nothing was ever done about it.

Trump is at war with the deep-state. They intend to win.

Conniving Democrats' scheming never ceases ---they even inveigled a public prosecutor to work for their political goals.
Mueller was obviously tasked to use our tax dollars conduct political oppo-research against Trump.
The Democrat evil-doers hope to get enough dirt to use against Trump in 2020.

Mueller is a tool of the Democrats. After Hillary lost, the impotent Democrats were cutoff from power.....that drove them nuts....
they were at their wit's end. So they connived to get Mueller to do the heavy lifting for them....with our tax dollars.

The creepy Democrats, Mueller, and the Deep State are running an opposition research operation against Pres Trump.

We, the people, have been misled for too long.

Robert Mueller has nothing because there is nothing:

<><> Where is the evidence that Trump colluded with Russians to sabotage Hillary’s campaign?
<><> Where is the evidence of vote-tampering?
<><> Where and when were the meetings held to plot strategy?
<><> Just what is the strategy?


Mueller and company are misusing govt positions in various ways. We, the people have a strong case.

MISUSE OF POSITION AND GOVERNMENT RESOURCES

Misuse of Position | Use of Official Title | Personal Use of Government Property | Use of Non-Public Information | Use of Official Time | Disclosing Procurement Information | Letters of Recommendation on Official Stationery

An employee may not use his official position, including information learned by virtue of his position, for his personal benefit or for the benefit of others.

MISUSE OF POSITION An employee may not use his public office for his own private gain or for that of persons or organizations with which he is associated personally. An employee’s position or title should not be used to coerce; to endorse any product, service or enterprise; or to give the appearance of governmental sanction. An employee may use his official title and stationery only in response to a request for a reference or recommendation for someone he has dealt with in Federal employment or someone he is recommending for Federal employment.

5 C.F.R. § 2635.702 (see Subpart G - Misuse of Position; Use of Public Office for Private Gain)

USE OF OFFICIAL TITLE Generally, an employee engaging in teaching, speaking or writing in his personal capacity may not use his official title or position to identify himself in connection with the activity or to promote any book, seminar, course, program, etc. The two exceptions to this rule are as follows:

1. An employee may allow the use of his title if it is included as part of several other biographical details and the title is given no more prominence than other information; and

2. An employee may allow the use of his title in connection with an article published in a scientific or professional journal provided there is an appropriate disclaimer.

5 C.F.R. § 2635.807(b) (see Subpart H - Outside Activities; Teaching, Speaking and Writing)

An employee engaging in fundraising in his personal capacity is also prohibited from using his official title, position or authority. In addition, he cannot solicit funds or other support from a subordinate or from any person that has business with his component.

5 C.F.R. § 2635.808(c) (see Subpart H - Outside Activities; Fundraising activities)

PERSONAL USE OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY An employee should recognize her responsibility to protect and conserve government property and resources, and to make an honest effort to use official time and government property only for official business. 5 C.F.R. § 2635.704 through .705 Use of Government property, and Use of official time. An employee may not use the official time of another employee for anything other than official business. The use of any government property, including computers and the Internet, for any partisan political activities is always prohibited.

Department of Justice employees are generally authorized to make minimal personal use of most office equipment and library facilities where the cost to the Government is negligible and on an employee’s own time. 28 C.F.R. § 45.4. This is the Department’s de minimis use policy, and would permit an employee to send a short, personal electronic message to another individual. However, personal messages sent to large groups of people and messages sent to disseminate information on non-Governmental activities, such as charitable events and causes, commercial activities such as personal businesses, and religious observances, are prohibited.

If an employee of the Department of Justice has questions about the Department’s rules covering the limitations on personal use of government equipment and resources, or questions about whether planned personal use of office equipment is permitted, she should consult with her supervisor, or her ethics official.

USE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION An employee may not engage in a financial transaction using nonpublic information nor allow the use of such information to further his private interests or those of another. Nonpublic information is information an employee gains on the job which has not been made available to the general public and is not authorized to be made available upon request.

5 C.F.R. § 2635.703 (see Subpart G - Misuse of Position; Use of Non-public Information)

USE OF OFFICIAL TIME An employee shall use official time in an honest effort to perform official duties. Generally, personal activities should not be conducted during duty hours.

5 C.F.R. § 2635.705 (see Subpart G - Misuse of Position; Use of official time)

DISCLOSING PROCUREMENT INFORMATION An employee is prohibited from disclosing contractor bid or proposal information or source selection information to any person other than one authorized to receive such information. 48 C.F.R. § 3.104-4-5

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION ON OFFICIAL STATIONERY An employee may sign a letter of recommendation using his official title and office letterhead in response to a request for an employment recommendation or character reference for someone provided it is based on his personal knowledge of the ability or character of the person. In addition, the individual must be someone with whom the employee has dealt with in the course of his Federal employment or someone he is recommending for Federal employment.

5 C.F.R. § 2635.702(b) (see Subpart G - Misuse of Position; Use of public office for private gain)

I have to agree with Rudy on this. It is a shame what Mueller has done to General Flynn.

Here’s Giulliani, 7 months into getting this thing wrapped up in two or three weeks. I was wondering on this forum just a couple days ago what had happened to him. Now he emerges to speak like a middle schooler. He represents the President of the United States in fending off a seditious plot to overthrow him. Can you PLEASE frame your arguments for the public better than by using the juvenile phrase “sick puppies.” What does that even mean in this context? Honestly. Shut up if you can’t speak like a serious person on gravely serious matters
