Rudy Giuliani: 'There's Nothing Wrong With Taking Information From Russians'
Yahoo! News ^ | 21 April 2019 | Igor Bobic

Rudy Giuliani, who as President Donald Trump’s attorney has stoutly defended his client’s actions throughout every twist and turn as Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign was investigated, insisted on Sunday “there’s nothing wrong” with a White House candidate accepting help from Russia.

The former New York mayor was asked on CNN’s “State of the Union”program to respond to Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) scathing criticism of Trump following the release of Special Counsel Bob Mueller’s report on the interference, saying he was appalled that the president’s campaign team “welcomed help from Russia.”

Giuliani called Romney, who ran for president in 2008 and 2012 and in the later years was the GOP nominee, a “hypocrite,” and he defended the use by a campaign of information obtained illegally by a foreign power.

“There’s nothing wrong with taking information from Russians... It depends on where it comes from,” he said.

Is it a crime to publish emails obtained illegally, if you had nothing to do with the illegal collection of those emails? No. It is legal to do so. You cannot hack someone’s computers, but if someone else does, what they release becomes public knowledge.

Why were the emails a problem? Because Hillary was saying one thing in private and a different thing in public. Why is exposing her dishonesty bad? I wouldn’t have batted an eye if Russia had publicized RNC emails - which they tried to do, but the RNC folks weren’t as stupid as Hillary.

So Jill Stein dined with a President Putin. I’m sure he was charming and accommodating and she probably thought well of her host.

At one point she thanked the Russians for supporting her. Of course, this is totally lost in the Mainstream Media coverage.

Wow. Mischaracterized the issue with the quote right there.

Exactly. Why didn’t the FBI itself take the meeting, instead of setting it up with the Trump campaign?

I think the IG’s report is supposed to be out in May-June.

I just has to reveal all of the dirty deeds of Comey, Clinton, Lynch and all of the other players involved in the plot to keep Trump from the WH, or get him out if he won.

You see, I need to blame Hillary's election loss on something. Nothing personal.

Mr Obama says: “On all these issues, but particularly missile defence, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.”

Mr Medvedev replies: “Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you …”

Mr Obama retorts: “This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.”

And Mr Medvedev finishes: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir [Putin].”
