Attorney Rudy Giuliani insisted on Sunday that evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians can not be taken at face value because “truth isn’t truth.” During an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, Giuliani complained that special counsel Robert Mueller was taking too long to finish his investigation.

“Can’t you speed up Mueller’s report and can’t you have more credibility about getting Mueller’s report if you get the president to sit down with him?” NBC host Chuck Todd posited.

“Get the word credibility out of it. We have plenty of credibility,” Giuliani snapped. “It is a week and a half later and they have not responded to our letter. Now, don’t tell me that we’re delaying this if they are spending a week and a half getting back to us.”

“You believe this is on them?” Todd pressed. “That you guys have not delayed the interviewing, delayed the negotiations?”

“Yes,” the president’s lawyer insisted. “What I have to tell you is, look, I am not going to be rushed into having him testify so he gets trapped into perjury. When you tell me that, you know, he should testify because he is going to tell the truth and he shouldn’t worry, that’s silly because it’s somebody’s version of the truth. Not the truth.”

“Truth is truth,” Todd pointed out.

“No, it isn’t truth. Truth isn’t truth,” Giuliani replied.

“Truth is a truth, Mr. Mayor,” Todd insisted. “This is going to become a bad meme.”

“Don’t do this to me!” Giuliani demanded, mocking Todd’s facial expression.

“Don’t do ‘truth isn’t truth’ to me,” Todd fired back.

1. the mentally incompetent 'president' has a mentally incompetent lawyer

[Baitball Blogger]

12. He sounds like a lawyer who was personally involved in this mess.

[2naSalit]

32. I think he was...nt

[malaise]

2. They didn't know she was Russian

They are fucking crazy.

[spanone]

6. well, her name should have been a tiny clue..... Natalia Veselnitskaya

[Takket]

38. yeah really

"Did you say Veselnitskaya? Are you related to Bob and Cindy Veselnitskaya? They were my neighbors growing up in St. Louis."

LOL

29. I think we've found a new song for those rallies!

I’d pay good money to get somebody to hack that.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. Trump steals music anyhow; at least it would be put to good use.

Swap the usual "Proud To Be An American" crap tape for "Lawyers, Guns and Money" as Spanky walks to the podium. I'd love it.

[orangecrush]

3. So there it is

Right out of Giuliani's mouth.

They are liars.

[rurallib]

4. maybe Giuliani was think about his terrible dentures

and meant 'tooth isn't tooth'?

ETA:
"truth isn't truth" joins "alternative facts" as what the Trumpinistas are going for.

[manor321]

5. Whipped this up quick

[SMC22307]

23. Ha. This meme needs to be adapted into campaign ads...

with some reference to him being *President Trump's lawyer. *President Trump, very much UNLIKE the young George Washington (as referenced below...).

We're in serious Orwellian territory!

[Frustratedlady]

7. Ghouliani is losing it, as well. What a pair with Trump lying and The Ghoul playing word games.

Ever since The Ghoul came onboard, this last time, Trump's legal advice has been screwed up. I'm not a lawyer, but insisting that if Trump is interviewed by Mueller, he will perjure himself is saying, "My client cannot tell the truth." People can accidentally perjure themselves, but liars can't unscramble truth from lies and can perjure themselves in the same paragraph.

That's a trick, but with practice over one's life, it can be done and we're witnessing it.

Trump is no young Washington.

[gratuitous]

8. "We have plenty of credibility"

Incredible.

[Generic Brad]

9. And this President is not the President

So there!

10. It's just a Grand Illusion.

.

"The Grand Illusion"


Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star.

But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...

America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on Earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are

14. Were you at the AV Fair last night per chance?

Thank you so much for this post!

The lyrics say a whole lot, and i just saw them live last night!!! They rocked it so hard it was awesome!

22. They officially responded with this?!

If so, that is so freaking cool.

It's like in Lord of the Rings, when nature itself starts fighting back.

tRump is so awful that the damn dictionary is fighting back!

[NoMoreRepugs]

15. Poop doesn't smell, water isn't wet.... Rudy is smart.

[jcgoldie]

17. Welp ...

That pretty much sums of this administration in 3 words.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. "This is going to become a bad meme."

Todd sure got that right.

[smirkymonkey]

19. I can't believe what a joke he is.

It's almost comical.

[Jim__]

21. If this were a trial, Trump would have an immediate appeal.

Obviously his counsel is incompetent.

[NoSmoke]

35. I'm not a lawyer but I play one on TV.

[Jersey Devil]

24. Go ask Alice

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head

Because he might be the most incompetent buffoon I've ever seen.

Kellyann Conway: Alternative facts!

Giuliani: Hold my beer

[Nevilledog]

39. Why is Mr. 9/11 given any credence? Why is he allowed to infest the airwaves spreading BS? A quick

"Gouliani lied aboug..." is sufficient. I'm sure even Chuck Todd could find more important and informative guests for his little chat show.

I say relelgate him to Russian asset loser flack green room with nunberg and the mooch and only let him out on days with out a "y".

[Achilleaze]

40. republicans pissing on the truth again

America won't forget what the republicans are doing...

41. Rudy Giuliani is not Trump's lawyer he is his rodeo clown

noun: rodeo clown; plural noun: rodeo clowns
(at a rodeo) a person whose job is to distract the bull from a competitor who has been unseated in a bull-riding event, or to provide comic entertainment for an audience between events.
"for the past five years as a rodeo clown Harrison has kept riders out of harm's way"

44. I thought Glen Beck had that job.

All of team Trump's lies, things they do to piss you off (shoot wolf puppies in their dens),
made up crap (US Steel is starting 6 new steel mills), and double crosses are not done by
mistake but are part of Russia, the GOP, Fox News, and Trump's Russian backed plans to
bring down America.

[ZeroSomeBrains]

48. The truth still matters

You can say truth isn't truth all you want ghouliani but your orwellian BS isn't gonna fly with mueller.

53. arguing with an idiot.....

he pulls you down to his level and then beats you with experience.

54. That clip will be replayed hundreds of years from now

Along with alternative facts and other gems as people try to make sense of how we ended up with this president and dealt with him
