President Donald Trump’s motive for firing former FBI Director James Comey last year was that Comey wouldn’t publicly exonerate the President from his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, Trump’s new lawyer said Wednesday night.
“He fired Comey because Comey would not — among other things — say that he wasn’t a target of the investigation,” Rudy Giuliani said during a revealing interview with Sean Hannity Wednesday night. “He fired him and he said ‘I’m free of this guy.’”
That disclosure partially props up Comey’s assertions that he was fired because Trump asked him to pledge personal loyalty to the President. Trump has denied those allegations and the White House claims Comey was fired because of his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.
In an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt shortly after he fired Comey last May, Trump suggested that his rationale for firing Comey was related to the Russia probe.
A good media strategy would be to fix a ball-gag to Rudy and tie him up in the basement of Comet Pizza, guarded by Flynn’s demented son…
I wasn’t a fan of Rudy Giuliani, but he does seem to be worth his weight in gold.
I’m at a loss. What possible reason could Giuliani have for saying this, other than it’s the truth?
At whom is this statement targeted? What persuadable segment of the voting demographic is pulled in the Republican direction by such an admission?
Is Rudy simply as verbally incontinent as Trump? Is such a thing even possible? GOP 2018: Make America Senile Again?
Also, too: WHY IS YOUR LEGAL TEAM TAKING INTERVIEWS ON SEAN HANNITY, HOW IS THAT A GOOD IDEA, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS, YOU KNOW YOU’RE ALLOWED TO NOT GO ON SEAN HANNITY AND SAY STUPID THINGS
Damn Rudy, shut it (or keep it up, I suppose). Giuliani LOVES the spotlight and has seemed to forget any criminal defense lessons from law school - practice, etc…
Keep blabbing, Fool! My two cents.
