Rudy Giuliani: Mueller Would Be 'Doing a Comey' If He Doesn't Finish by September


by Tamar Auber | 6:46 pm, May 30th, 2018

President Donald Trump‘s lawyer Rudy Giuliani warned on Wednesday that if Special Counsel Robert Mueller does not end the investigation by September 1, he’s “clearly doing a Comey.”

Giuliani’s remarks were made during comments to the press and reported by CNN and other outlets.

Asked about whether he may fire Mueller, Trump’s lawyer noted, “I don’t think he’s going to fire Mueller, Mueller is creating his own problems.” He then called on Mueller to end his probe by September 1.

“Well, if he doesn’t file his report by September 1, mid-September, he’s clearly doing a Comey,” Giuliani stressed, referring to ex-FBI Director James Comey.

He takes more time. He may sort of pause the investigation around then and restart it after the election so it's NOT seen as interfering with it but no one should be pressuring him to end it prematurely.

OTOH... Doing so makes it seem like they're trying to hide things from him in the hope if they make him speed it up he'll miss all of that evidence so they look even more guilty.

In pushing this BS Ghouliani seems to be attempting to obstruct and manipulate justice much like Trump has been/is. Hmm... Maybe we can get a twofer take out of both of these disgusting piles of pig poo.
