Fox Host: Giuliani Attacks Mueller To Convince Public Trump Shouldn't Be Indicted

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/fox-host-giuliani-attacks-mueller-convince-trump-not-indicted

Fox News analyst and columnist Andrew Napolitano wrote in a recent column that President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani has told his friends that the real reason he bashes special counsel Robert Mueller is not to change the outcome of the investigation, but rather to convince the public that Trump shouldn’t be indicted or impeached if that’s what it comes down to.


He has assumed two roles for his most famous client — as legal strategist and as cheerleader,” he wrote in an editorial Thursday. “As a legal strategist, he brings a wealth of experience in federal criminal procedure, but he has no serious experience defending a person accused by the feds — hence his morphing into the cheerleading role, in which he has candidly acknowledged to friends that his goal is not to dissuade the special counsel from pursuing his client but to influence public opinion so that if an indictment or impeachment of Trump were to come down, it would generally be unacceptable to the public.”


Can everyone now join me in a collective "Duhhh'?

when I called her. The speaker was claiming that Flynn committed no crime - just plead guilty because his son was at risk. The lying is a procedural crime and not serious.

Fuck 'em they were part and parcel of building mess and don't want to be there when
their poorly built shit pile comes crashing down.

I just wonder was how many connections did Fox have with Russian agents?
