Rudy Giuliani Admits White House Is Trying To Discredit Russia Investigation

05/27/2018 01:25 pm ET Updated 29 minutes ago

“It is for public opinion,” the Trump lawyer said of the near-daily attacks on the probe.

By Igor Bobic

President Donald Trump’s lawyer flatly admitted that the White House is waging a fierce information campaign against special counsel Robert Mueller and his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

The aim: to delegitimize the probe in the eyes of voters and lawmakers in Congress.

Rudy Giuliani, asked about the near-daily attacks on the probe, said on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, “They are giving us the material. I couldn’t do it if I didn’t have the material. ... It is for public opinion.”

“Because eventually, the decision here is going to be: impeach, [or] not impeach,” he continued. “Members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, are going to be informed a lot by their constituents. So our jury ... is the American people. And the American people ... Republicans largely, independents pretty substantially, and even Democrats now question the legitimacy of it.”

Trump in recent days has ratcheted up his attacks against the Russia investigation, the Justice Department and the FBI. He has claimed that the FBI had “infiltrated” and “spied” on his 2016 presidential campaign when the agency reportedly used an informant to make contact with Trump campaign advisers who allegedly had suspicious contacts linked to Russia. He also demanded the Justice Department investigate the accusations and turn over any relevant documents to Congress.

In this mornings paper said:

"Except for some amateur hour attempts by trumps people to get dirt on Clinton, the conspiracy was mostly among russians"

So now it's finally a conspiracy but only on the Russian end of course.

Screw reaching these people, blind as a bat and dumb as a box of rocks.

Oh and Fuck you kathleen.
