President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said he doesn’t expect former special counsel Robert Mueller to stray from his Russia report during Wednesday's congressional testimony, adding that anything new would be "highly questionable."
“I can’t imagine he’s going to say anything that we don’t know,” Giuliani said during an interview that aired Monday. “If he does, it would be highly questionable — how come you’re saying it now and you didn’t say it in the report.”
“And number two: It would be totally unethical,” Giuliani added. “If a prosecutor doesn’t bring a case, then the prosecutor’s got to keep his mouth shut about the facts because it is so unfair to the person who after all isn't going to be charged.”
Mueller is scheduled to appear Wednesday before the the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees to testify about his two-year probe.
Giuliani argued last week that he doesn’t think Mueller should testify, saying “it’s not proper.”
Mueller has made clear he doesn’t intend to go beyond the findings of his report, which found no evidence of conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia but also did not reach a judgment on obstruction of justice regarding Trump.
In his 448-page report, Mueller detailed 10 episodes that were examined for possible obstruction. Mueller later said that he could not bring charges against Trump, citing Justice Department guidelines against indicting a sitting president.
While Democrats plan to use the public testimony to ramp up their investigations into Trump, with some hoping it will move the needle impeachment efforts, some Republicans and Trump have sought to discredit Mueller.
“Highly conflicted Robert Mueller should not be given another bite at the apple,” Trump tweeted on Monday. “In the end it will be bad for him and the phony Democrats in Congress who have done nothing but waste time on this ridiculous Witch Hunt.”
Trump also said he might watch part of the Mueller testimony after previously stating that he would not.
The revelations will not be new, nadless’s spin will be.
What he actually says will be a mute point.
The Fake News will decide what he said and that will be the 48-72 hour Fake News narrative, an become a matter of Fake News fact moving forward..
Dog and Pony Show:
NOUN
NORTH AMERICAN
An elaborate display or presentation, especially as part of a promotional campaign.
“The department never really had a chance to get its dog and pony show under way.”
Amen to that!
Cute pic. :^)
They'll find some ancillary tidbit to keep the witch hunt going. Count on it.
The Rats are gonna try, in my view.
Just posted a piece about the DOJ sending a letter to Mueller on his upcoming testimony.

Mueller: “We didn’t find any evidence of collusion.”
Democrats: “Mueller said ‘evidence of collusion.’ ”
This is good, this is Rudy/Trump pressing back on the would-be Muller persecution before he even gets a chance to speak.
What Rudy is doing here is boxing him in, effectively insuring that nothing new comes out ...
effectively insuring that Nadler and his obsessive Democrats end up looking like a bunch of incompetent idiots
(not hard, I know, after last week’s botched impeachment “vote”)
The word “perjury” comes to mind...
Trump needs to set up a rally for Thursday night.
Hey Rudy; Once Muleface blurts something out, and the media snakes grab it and run with it, it can’t be unsaid or unheard.
Evidently, the DOJ got wind of probable shenanigans.
Yep, it kinda sounds that way.
It’ll be interesting to see some of the testimony, I have hunch not much of anything is going to come out.
Comey the dog riding Mueller the mule.
