Giuliani: We don't know for sure if there was a spy in the campaign
Source: The Hill
President Trumps lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Friday downplayed Trumps claim that there was an FBI or Justice Department informant embedded in his campaign.
Giuliani told CNNs Chris Cuomo that neither he nor Trump knows for sure if there was an informant.
I dont know for sure, nor does the president, if there really was one, he said.
He told Cuomo that the team has been told that by people off the record.

BTW many of our allies also picked up on the Russia/Trump connections too and
no doubt Bob Mueller has that information.

(37,428 posts)He may have some grasp of gaslighting as a strategy, but I think we are seeing a limited intellect and a virtual shut-in deflecting the real world in the only little ways he knows: deny everything true, claim everything made-up as accomplishments.
I believe that this just happens to match the pattern of a deliberate gaslighter...or else he'd be better at it.

He's a con man, but he's also so stupid he seems to believe the obvious bullshit that comes out of his mouth. I can't tell if hes sincere with himself believing his own bullshit, or is laughing at all the rubes on the inside. Sometimes I see this shift of sincerity to mockery in the same incoherent run-on sentences that fall out of his mouth.

(37,428 posts)...without coming to believe your own bullshit, or at least losing the ability to understand the real world.
There ought to be a Star Trek episode somewhere in which a kid raised by a computer on a holodeck is rescued and has to learn hard lessons. Our president is that character, so faar without the lessons.
I think "Charlie X" and "The Squire of Gothos" could be instructional viewing.
TRELANE: I don't know if I like your tone. It's most challenging. That's what you're doing, challenging me?
SPOCK: I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose.

(155 posts)With these lying devils- if they didnt know theyre stupid. If they knew-they encouraged it. If rational, honest people posit to them the most obvious features and facts regarding life- they conveniently claim god, ignorance cuz its part of celestial plan or the easiest retreat of fatalistic fools:
I dont care.
Yes, they married into the treasonous mob with lustful gusto and still claim they have any shred of integrity. The deplorables are such because this is who they are. To their gun fetishes and obscene greed they are so simply naked.
