Rudy tries to clean up his 'nobody got killed' statement

On second thought…

Rudy Giuliani put his foot in his mouth this week when he told The Daily Beast that Michael Cohen’s crimes were, frankly, no big deal. “Nobody got killed, nobody got robbed… This was not a big crime,” he told the Beast in an interview on Wednesday.

On Friday, President Trump’s personal lawyer offered a “CORRECTION.”

CORRECTION: I didn’t say payments were not a big crime. I have said consistently that the Daniels and McDougall payments are not crimes and tweeted a great article yesterday making that point . If it isn’t a witch-hunt why are they pursuing a non-crime.

In a correction he went from saying that its not that big of a deal as a crime to not a crime at all? Seems legit, I've known many a people to be charged with non crimes and just roll over and take prison time for those non crimes. Sheesh these people are flailing in the water as they slowly sink.

"Michael Cohen plead guilty to something that's not even a crime."

I still don't get how that twisted logic is supposed to work.
