Rudy Giuliani threatens $17 million legal action against Robert Mueller during Fox News interview


Published 1 min ago on June 1, 2019
By Bob Brigham



Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s television defense attorney, said he was considering bringing a $17 million legal action against former special counsel Robert Mueller.

Giuliani was incensed that Mueller did not come to a prosecutorial conclusion on Trump’s obstruction of justice. Mueller laid out over ten instances of such obstruction but said he was prevented from bringing charges due to a Department of Justice regulation.

“It was a dereliction of duty,” Giuliani claimed.

“Why do you appoint an independent counsel, a special counsel? Theoretically there’s some kind of conflict, they are supposed to make a decision,” the former New York City mayor said.

Soon he will be shitting himself on air and in the streets.

Also, Mueller made millions for the government by getting Manafort's condo and other properties.

is that what i'm reading here?

i'm not a lawyer but i'm pretty sure your client NOT being indicted is not something you sue over.

The strategy works, and the media ends up talking a LOT about what conservatives are angry about instead of legitimate issues.
