by Tamar Auber | 11:18 pm, May 16th, 2018
Speaking to Laura Ingraham on Fox News Wednesday night, pro bono President Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani insisted that there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia because its not illegal to get dirt and not use it.
He then said the focus of the investigation should really be on former FBI director James Comey, not Trump.
Theres nothing illegal about that [getting dirt], Giuliani opined, referring to the CNN report that Donald Trump Jr. admitted the Trump Tower meeting was aimed at getting dirt on Hillary Clinton. Even if it comes from a Russian or German or American, it doesnt matter. They never used it. Thats the main thing. They rejected it. If there was collusion with the Russians they wouldve used it.
He then suggested that the person who should really be under investigation is Comey.

Oh Rudy! Keep it up baby because you're making the case against your client.
Anyone putting a bet that the Trumpster's surrogates will start touting this line? But, but . . . we never got the dirt we were looking for, so no harm, no foul?

(7,947 posts)This is something we have to keep reiterating. There was no dirt. The Russians didn't have it. She hadn't done anything wrong.
The reason Trump Jr ended that meeting disappointed was because the Russians didn't produce the dirt because it WASN'T THERE.
Clinton has been slandered over and over, and the media seem to think there is no need to state that Trump was desperate for dirt, and couldn't get it, so had to make it up.
Even the KGB, Russian oligarchs, billionaires like the Kochs, and Trump's nasty minions couldn't get what they wanted.
The nation, frankly, owes this public servant Secy Clinton an apology. Actually, we owe her the gd presidency which was stolen from her AND US.
I don't know how this can be rectified. But the election should be reversed.

Rudy is so funny. I don't know how he can even speak with his foot in his mouth.
