Rudy Giuliani stepped in it on Sunday. On Monday, he tried to clean it up.
The President’s personal lawyer tweeted that when he said “truth isn’t truth” on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” it was “not meant as a pontification on moral theology but one referring to the situation where two people make precisely contradictory statements, the classic ‘he said,she said’ puzzle.”
My statement was not meant as a pontification on moral theology but one referring to the situation where two people make precisely contradictory statements, the classic “he said,she said” puzzle. Sometimes further inquiry can reveal the truth other times it doesn’t.

Giuliani made the original comment in the context of whether President Trump should sit for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller.

Good lord but he is a babbling old fool. I can’t stand him and I would bet most women and men can’t either. I wish he would just crawl back to wherever he came from and just STFU — although he may help the blue wave bigly.
The perfect mouthpiece for the administration’s policy of:
“Ready!..Fire!..Aim!..Spin!..Walk Back!”
Yeah, feeble Rudes said “pontification on moral theology”.
Pull the other one.
Rudy means truthiness, not truth. He just had a brain fart.
Fine. It is a question of who is more credible—Comey or the most prolific liar in the history of American politics. Let’s litigate it.
