Analysis: Giuliani Escalates Effort to Erode Legitimacy of Mueller Probe
Roll Call ^ | May 18th, 2018 | John T. Bennett

Posted on 05/19/2018 8:31:06 AM PDT by Mariner

Former FBI Director James Comey is a “proven liar” and Attorney General Jeff Sessions “didn’t step up” to shut down an “unjustifiable investigation.” Those were just two of the claims made Friday by Rudy Giuliani, one of President Donald Trump’s lawyers, as he continued an escalating effort to erode the legitimacy of the Justice Department’s Russia probe.

As Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III and his team continue their probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election, possible coordination with the Trump-Pence campaign, and whether the president obstructed justice, Giuliani — joined by Trump and others — are executing a strategy intended to raise doubts about the necessity of the investigation, whether Mueller and the FBI are out to get Trump, and the special counsel’s tactics.

The former U.S. attorney and New York mayor lashed out at Sessions, Comey, Mueller and others Friday morning during a sometimes-explosive interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo. Among other charges, Giuliani said those conducting the probe are guilty of crimes against Trump.

“If you’re asking me who has commited crimes here, the crimes have been committed by the investigators. Illegal leaking, lying about relevant matters, invasions of attorney-client privilege — which is unethical, not illegal,” the president’s attorney said. That came after Giuliani said a dossier compiled by a former British spy about then-businessman Trump’s activities — some salacious and embarrassing — in Moscow, as well alleged contacts with Russians during the 2016 campaign cycle was “corrupt.”

“...Win or die are the alternatives ... “

Yes, exactly, for the Republic.

However, the outcome is still very uncertain considering that 90% media is hiding this treason and 98% of the population doesn’t even know what’s going on.

Rudy Is Awesome!!!!

There actually seems to be A Plan, now. Not the qooky “Trust Sessions” disinformation campaign.

1. Raise the temperature. Expose Mueller as a fradulent leader of the Inquisition.

2. Raise awareness of the Seditious Plot, which is still going on(!).

3. Pressure Congress, via us grassroots normies, to shut the crap down. Quietly, behind the scenes, lean on select Senators, prime the pump for a new AG.

3.a Point out that Rosenstein didn’t vet Mueller for conflicts, as required by law. Suggest via proxies that he needs to do it now, anyway, to keep his job.*

4. It gets shut down.

5. Fire Rosensessions.

6. Appoint Rudy as AG.

7. Finally, finally, finally...go after the previous administration for their crimes. Guns ablazin!!!

Yay Rudy!!!!!!!!

*28cfr603.b:”The Attorney General shall consult with the Assistant Attorney General for Administration to ensure an appropriate method of appointment, and to ensure that a Special Counsel undergoes an appropriate background investigation and a detailed review of ethics and conflicts of interest issues.” (Was. Not. Done.)

You post "Müller is pure Nazi"

What about this one? Rosenstein and Himmler - Himmler's son/grandson? Even the same ears...

We should make this go viral. "One picture is worth...?"

>>He has, but so far he has come off as rather baffonish with a bad case of foot in mouth disease.<<

Joe diGenova seems much more knowledgeable about the machinations and treasonous activities of Mueller and the Deep State than Rudy is. Unfortunately it looks as if Rudy’s age has taken its toll on his intellect.

Too - funny....with your seemingly solid grasp of the situation, what would you do different than what Rudy is doing.....so easy to bitch about others’ non-performance when one isn’t in the actual fray....we get a lot of that here.
