Caputo: ‘I’m Enjoying Watching’ Giuliani But ‘Don’t Agree With Strategy’

05.07.18 | 2:47 pm

Former Trump campaign adviser Michael Caputo said he’s “enjoying watching Rudy Giuliani” despite how he “doesn’t exactly agree with all the strategy and the roll-out here in the last several days” during an MSNBC appearance Monday.

Caputo added that he thinks Giuliani “is going to do a good job for the President.”

No collusion no collusion you’re the collusion:

Caputo moved to Russia in 1994 after the fall of the Soviet Union, and was an adviser to Boris Yeltsin and helped elect Yeltsin to a second term as President of Russia. He worked for Gazprom Media in 2000 where he helped improve the image of Vladimir Putin in the U.S. He moved back to the U.S. and founded a public relations company, and then moved to Ukraine to work on a candidate’s campaign for parliament.

Rudy certainly started well. Admitted a couple of crimes. Tossed Jerod under the bus. Got crosswise with his client. Great start!

I watched this. Caputo is no longer as arrogant and sure of the tRump line as he’s been in the past.

Thank you, that explained the context I was searching for when watching that.

I noticed he was keeping his eyes straight on, but there was an edge of nervousness there that would make me wonder.

I enjoy watching Giuliani too but not for the same reason, for me it’s like watching a train carrying the Ebola virus going off the rails.
