Rudy Giuliani Calls on Jeff Sessions to 'Step in' And Shut Down Mueller Probe

Rudy Giuliani appeared on Fox & Friends Thursday morning in the wake of his bombshell interview with Sean Hannity — and called on the Attorney General to step in and shut down the Russia probe.

AG Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation, being carried out by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, last year.

Giuliani, who recently joined Trump’s legal team in the fight against the Mueller investigation, first criticized the Justice Department and the FBI for their handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe.

The former New York mayor then argued that there is “no evidence” the president colluded with Russia in the 2016 election. “Everybody forgets, the basis of the case is dead,” Giuliani said. “Sessions should step in and close it. And say enough’s enough.”

Host Brian Kilmeade countered that Mueller and his investigators do not agree, referencing their questions for Trump which leaked. “But Mr. Mayor, you look at the questions, they don’t think collusion’s dead,” Kilmeade said.

“But they’re ridiculous questions, what did you think, what did you feel, what were you dreaming,” Giuliani snarked. “I thought Freud wrote them.”

“What they’re really trying to do is trap him in perjury,” Giuliani concluded. “And we’re not suckers.”

Trump can avoid perjury. All he has to do is tell the truth.

On second thought, can he tell the truth?

Thinks he can do better than others to stop Mueller.

So commits a crime by suggesting Sessions obstruct justice.

He knows he is toast. Remember he bragged about the emails / hacking before November, 2016?

He often wishes out loud for his easiest of lives to be made easier, because he is lazy.
