President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said that as a member of the president's defense team in his upcoming impeachment trial he's preparing to argue that the president's claims of voter fraud did not constitute incitement to violence because the claims are true.
"They basically claimed that anytime [Trump] says voter fraud, voter fraud — or I do, or anybody else — we're inciting violence; that those words are fighting words because it's totally untrue," Giuliani told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl. "Well, if you can prove that it's true, or at least true enough so it's a legitimate viewpoint, then they are no longer fighting words."
Republican strategist Karl Rove told "Fox News Sunday" he thinks Giuliani has "charted a very bad course for the president" that is likely to persuade at least 17 Republicans to side with Democrats and convict Trump.
"Well, those charges and the so-called experts that the campaign has mustered to advocate them have been rejected by over 50 courts with judges appointed by President Trump, President Obama, Present Bush, President Clinton, and I think even one Reagan justice," he said.
"So if it's the Rudy Giuliani defense, there is a strong likelihood that more than 17 Republicans will (vote to convict) because essentially that argument is this was justified, the attack on the Capital and the attempt to end the congressional hearing on certifying the election was justified because all these charges are true, and frankly they aren’t," he said.
Giuliani and many of Trump's supporters have argued the courts did not dismiss the more than 60 cases based on the merits. And they point, among other things, to some 3,000 affidavits from witnesses of vote fraud.

Rove, you less than magnificent bastard. Go away.
Rove is a Globalist RINO. He, for a while, pretended otherwise when he thought President Trump’s reelection was inevitable but, when it became obvious The Swamps Final Solution was finally going to succeed in getting rid of President Trump he quickly reverted to his true colors.
The Election Fraud was perpetrated by the Dems and the Deep State with the full cooperation of the Establishment Republicans.
Folks like this need to be shown the door from the RNC.
Go away Rove!
I’m not even sure WHO the intended audience is. I’d be surprised if any show on Fox even has the audience of an overnight TV test signal these days.
Hey, Rove. Go F yourself, you smarmy little douche canoe.
Like they’ve not already?
Ed Solomon is just finishing up the Wheel Of Michigan, and it's his opinion that the DemoCommies couldn't have pulled off The Michizuela Steal without the help of Repukelickins...
Rive go eff yourself
This was a fraudulent election and if you want to push the narrative it isn’t you are showing exactly why The GOP is done
I have been a lifetime GOP voter and I am telling you, I am done...
My vote doesn’t matter and the GOP does not care about the constitution.
I am done.
Sorry Rove. The courts wimped out. They knew of the fraud but didn’t want to rule on an election..
Rove needs to just STFU.
Republicans are dead in the swamp!
They have zero future without Trump and they know it.
I really despise this POS. Bush could have done so much good during his two terms but he just did sh*t, largely because of this moron Rove.
Shut up, turd blossom.
“boycott rove and any candidate who works for him and his money.”
We can see the value of following Rove’s advice, just ask the two outgoing republican GA senators about how listening to Rove will benefit your political future....
Rove, your sage-advice has already ‘helped’ enough!
It’s time to yank ol Karl off the vaudeville stage. He is past his prime.
but, like his counter part pelosi in the dem wing, he wields tremendous power in the gope wing of the uniparty.
he can’t be dismissed. he has to be defeated.
The damned Senators need to spend a little less time demanding we accept the fraud as honest, and a little more time getting afraid of how angry they have made the American heartland.
We despise them. They had better grok that concept.
My take: We got frauded. I think for a defense we/Trump tried the shot gun approach. hey people Straighten up. We have never done this before (never had to) take over from a cabal running our country. How do we do it. The shotgun approach. It didn’t work. We need to recruit people from the former soviet union to help. They have done it and are still doing it.
1. intimidate them. Every week bang on the door of the capitol building. We know it scares the crap out of them. Cheaters are always afraid of people confronting them. Confidence racket can’t have the lights on.
2. We can’t win by voting in our corrupt states with the current governors and legislatures. Need to replace them. Either we get fundamentals like voting back or we don’t
3. Repeal all of the recent mail in ballot crap. If it doesn’t exist the corrupt courts can’t rewrite laws that don’t exist.
$. We have an unique advantage. We know who they are and how the work this. They have no idea who we are and will never understand us. And we outnumber them.
Why is he still giving his opinion? No one wants it.
