Giuliani Demands Docs On Confidential FBI Informant As Condition Of Trump Testimony

By Matt Shuham | May 27, 2018 1:58 pm

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Sunday demanded access to FBI documents on a confidential informant as a condition of the President speaking to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators.

“I want to know, did they get any evidence in that counterintelligence probe?” Giuliani told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer, adding later: “If they don’t show us these documents, we’re just going to have to say no.”

Trump has branded as “Spygate” the news that an FBI informant reportedly contacted members of his campaign in 2016. Giuliani’s remarks Sunday were part of a frequently contradictory discussion about the informant.

While Giuliani maintained that he was not aware of what was discussed during recent briefings between top intelligence and national security officials and members of Congress (at the outset of which White House chief of staff John Kelly and White House lawyer Emmet Flood were also present), he said that Trump was.

“What I know is just what I speculate, not anything that’s been said to me,” he said. “No one has shared it with me.”

“I’m positive that they shared it with the President.”

Mueller should not play games with these scumbags. Just subpoena Cheeto, and let Ghouliani and company take it through the Judiciary. It will only keep the investigation going for longer.

"If so, there will be a subpoena in your hand tomorrow morning."
