Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Monday that he was just joshing when he called last week for the DOJ to end Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe in the next 24 hours, saying that he “didn’t think it would” end, according to a Monday Politico report.
He reportedly added that he still thinks it should be.
Giuliani’s demand last week came after the release of the DOJ Inspector General’s report on the Hillary Clinton email probe, and Giuliani argued that Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should “redeem themselves” by ending the probe immediately, according to Politico.
“That’s what I’m supposed to do,” Giuliani told Politico “What am I supposed to say? That they should investigate him forever? Sorry, I’m not a sucker.”
Giuliani added that Trump’s team could come to an agreement in the next two weeks about sitting down with Mueller.
He reportedly said that the interview would take place at the White House or Camp David, as having it in Mueller’s office or the federal courthouse in downtown Washington would be a “freak show.”
Sorry, Rudy: you don’t get a “JK do over” on #Obstruction.
Oh yeah, Chevalier used to do that number in Vaudeville way back in the 1920’s: “A man goes into a bar, speaking on behalf of the President as his attorney… yada yada yada, Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice!, Oye! Just joking, just joking.”
Take one of my wives… please.
Pretty soon this shrunken head will just be a set of choppers clattering at us. Now that would be funny.
Rudy just revealed that something big is about to hit, and he is deeply involved in whatever Mueller has cooking.
