Trump to testify to Mueller in writing... And Giuliani complains that the questions are unfair.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/11/cnns-gloria-borger-reveals-why-trump-bag-man-rudy-giuliani-has-re-emerged/

On Thursday, CNN reported that President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani was upset about Special Counsel Robert Muellers’ questions for the president.

In a statement, Giuliani said that Mueller’s questions created trouble for his team.

“Some of the questions Giuliani says were unnecessary, some were irrelevant, some are possible traps.

...

Borger said. “It’s amazing to me because honestly, they’ve been working on these questions for weeks. They finally negotiated a way where the president didn’t have to testify face-to-face on the issues of collusion, that he actually got a take-home open book test which they are writing answers to.”

She added, “The fact that Rudy Giuliani is now complaining about the questions leads me to believe, first of all, that they don’t know what everybody else is testifying and they’re a little worried about that. And they’re worried about their own client and whether their client is actually telling the truth.”




This is totally unfair!!! How is Rudy "There-is-no-truth" Giuliani supposed to know which version of the truth he is supposed to tell???



I've said it before: Trump's whole existence depends on him being able to lie and to the twist the truth to whatever he wants it to be at a given moment. He doesn't know how to survive in a world where he cannot get away with lying.

It's full of surprises - like when Giuliani told Sean Hannity that Trump had reimbursed Cohen for the Stormy Daniels hush money payoff, something Trump had denied for months!

Keep talkin', Rudy.

Lololol!!! If I was Trump's attorney, I'd be worrying about that, too. The only time the words "Trump" and "truth" go together is when they are used in a sentence.

Their problem is, if they tell the truth they confess to a crime. If they lie they purger themselves.

Instead of a subpoena, and instead of a face-to-face interview, the Special Counsel would settle for answers to written questions.

It is so difficult when the truth stares into your face. The questions are so hard.
