By Kate Riga | May 18, 2018 9:14 am
During a 45 minute interview with CNNs Chris Cuomo, President Donald Trumps outside lawyer Rudy Giuliani sounded off on topics ranging from the Trump-Russia probe to Martha Stewarts indictment. Three moments in the conversation were particularly notable:
1.) On FBI Director Chris Wrays assertion that the Mueller probe is not a witch hunt: Hes wrong, Giuliani said. I know more about the case than he does.

2.) On the FBI informant who reportedly met with Trump campaign officials in the run-up to the 2016 election: I dont know for sure, nor does the President, that there really was [an informant], Giuliani said. Were told that.

3.) On Trumps old accusation that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower: At one point, the President thought there was a wiretap, said Giuliani. We were never notified that he was on a tap, he added, admitting that there has never been any proof of that claim.
This is the first time that anyone on Trumps team has admitted that Trumps often-repeated smear of Obama was specious.

(15,805 posts)He's showboating for Trump, making up all kinds out outrageous factoids to either bolster Trump's position of the moment, or muddle the information with lies and kooky conspiracy theories. Inevitably he has to walk back everything he says and then try to s'plain what he meant, or it was a joke, or the fake media changed his words to make him look like an idiot.
