Rudy Giuliani Goes On ‘ABC Sunday’ & Ruins Trump’s Russia Defense In Disaster Interview

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani is continuing his campaign to do… something. It’s not exactly clear how his endless string of nonsense-filled television appearances help President Donald Trump, whose interests he’s supposed to be representing. This Sunday on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos, he insisted that the truth is some kind of unknowable entity, and therefore, Trump shouldn’t be considered liable in any crimes.

Trump has previously repeatedly been implicated in crimes including campaign finance law violations via both his former lawyer Michael Cohen and recent filings from government prosecutors themselves. After ranting about how supposedly discredited Cohen is — which is rich coming from the lawyer for the guy who’s been documented to have lied thousands upon thousands of times since taking office — Giuliani offered:

‘I think I know what the truth is, but unless you’re God, you’ll never know what the truth is. [Cohen] lies to fit the situation he’s in.’

Seriously? That’s his defense here — that the truth will forever evade us and we must languish under the weight of postmodernist reality? Has he suddenly become a philosopher?

Watch below.

The legal system, in reality, operates according to standards of evidence — since down here on planet earth, there is this pesky little thing called tangible reality.

Giuliani stuck to his dismissal of that, though, insisting without any apparent evidence to back him up of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York’s implication of Trump in campaign finance law violations:

‘There’d be no way they would know that other than taking Cohen’s word for it.’

The whole meltdown is reminiscent of other Giuliani appearances, like the time he insisted to MSNBC’s Chuck Todd that “truth isn’t truth” so Trump shouldn’t be expected to testify to Special Counsel Robert Mueller without lying and that collusion with Russia isn’t even a crime in the first place (it is).

A number of individuals drawn into the Russia investigation have faced “conspiracy against the United States” charges that have been held up in court.

That’s not stopping Giuliani though.

This Sunday during an appearance on Fox News, he went even further off the rails and insisted that Trump would only sit down with the special counsel’s office for an interview “over my dead body.”

Trump has already submitted written answers to Mueller’s office but there’s been talk of the special counsel seeking more from the president — and there was certainly talk of that beforehand. Negotiations over presidential questioning had been ongoing for months.

Now, Giuliani insists of a possible future presidential interview:

‘After what they did to Flynn and how they trapped him into perjury — and no sentence for him… they’re a joke. Over my dead body — but you know, I could be dead.’

Watch below.

The right has claimed that the special counsel’s office laid a “perjury trap” for former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, but Mueller’s team has insisted that’s false and Flynn’s not an idiot. He knew what he was doing.

No conspiracy theory will save Giuliani, Trump, or anyone else from the realities of the Russia investigation.
