President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani attempted to clean up comments he made to CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Wednesday evening regarding collusion and the Trump campaign.
“There was no collusion by President Trump in any way, shape or form,” he said in a statement to The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman. “Likewise, I have no knowledge of any collusion by any of the thousands of people who worked on the campaign.”

During his interview with Cuomo on Wednesday evening, Giuliani appeared to break with his usual blanket “no collusion” line and told CNN: “I never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign” and Russia. He went on to claim that he was only aware that Trump did not collude with the Kremlin to win the 2016 election.
Let’s parse this a little bit further: At the point of any alleged collusion, Trump was CANDIDATE Trump. Got a little wiggle room there for your truthiness, Rudy???
Maybe they’re laying the groundwork for a later mistrial based on insanity of legal counsel? Because otherwise, they got nothin’.
Who cares what knowledge Giuliani has? I think we can all agree he has very little. About anyything.
But one thing Giuliani does know is that Mueller has Trump dead to rights. Thus, Giuliani’s attempt at obfuscation, confusion, and shiny object-pointing.
“There was no collusion by President Trump in any way, shape or form,” he said in a statement to The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman. “Likewise, I have no knowledge of any collusion by any of the thousands of people who worked on the campaign.”
Baghdad Rudy strikes out again.
