Giuliani calls for Sessions to 'step in' on Cohen investigation
Source: The Hill
Rudy Giuliani called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to intervene in the Michael Cohen case and put the people behind the probe under investigation in a phone call with The Hill on Thursday.
I am waiting for the Attorney General to step in, in his role as defender of justice, and put these people under investigation, Giuliani said, reacting to an NBC News report that phones belonging to Cohen, President Trumps longtime personal attorney, had been tapped by investigators.
The former New York City mayor argued that the reported wiretapping of Cohen, if true, was a blatant transgression of attorney-client privilege. Giuliani, who joined President Trumps personal legal team about two weeks ago, predicted that Trump would share his anger at the reported wiretapping, though he said he had not yet spoken to the president about it.
When he does so, Giuliani predicted, He is going to say to me, Isnt there an attorney-client privilege? And I am going to tell him, No, the Department of Justice seems to want to trample all over the Constitution of the United States.

(12,582 posts)It's all a part of Trump's long-range plan to discredit and destroy the DOJ, FBI and judiciary for his own evil purposes. If he wins any part of this battle -- shuts down any investigation -- he will have establish that he has absolute control of the justice process in this country, and have accomplished a huge step toward establishing the U.S. as a fascist dictatorship.

Thank the heavens no one competent was so puzzlingly handed so much power...well, until even Republicans confessed to the incompetence of the regime by tearing up Trump's asinine "budget" and passing something sensible...ouch...that one is still hurting plenty.
