The meeting with the russians, how can you be sure if the president didnt know beforehand. Rudy giulianis answer to that was, nobody can be sure of anything. With Defense Lawyers like that, who needs prosecutors . So why Hasnt Donald Trump replaced his weak, Tv Defense Lawyer who is doing a terrible job of defending donald trump . Well, there are a few real possibilities and rational possibilities for that. One is that donald trump doesnt know what good lawyering looks like and sounds like. After all Michael Cohen was Donald Trumps lawyer for years. The same Michael Cohen who Rudy Giuliani now describes this wa
Federal agency is out to get him. Or is trump simply saying he, the countrys good leader is simply expressing his opinion on the matter. Under investigation for Obstruction Of Justice, donald trump demanded that the Attorney General end the Mueller Probe all together. Quote this is a terrible situation and Attorney General that is trump tweeting. The president knows he is the subject of the investigation. That means the president s tweet could be further evidence that he is out trying to obstruct justice. Trumps lawyers immediately attempted to control the damage. Telling the Washington Post that the president was merely expressing his opinion. Here is Rudy Giuliani defending his tweet today. He used a medium that he uses for opinions sort of. One of the good things about using that is he has established a clear practice now that he expresses his opinion on twitter. He used the word should, he dont use the word must.

Rudy giuliani told politico today that the trump team wants to rule outofbounds about half of what Robert Mueller wants to discuss the president. Quote, we dont want questioning on obstruction. They would have to concede that. Robert mueller would not be allowed to ask President Trump what he said to james comey about the fbi investigation of michael flynn. James comey says that the president told him, i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting flynn go. Hes a good guy. I hope you can let this go. The only area that the trump team would consider allowing is how donald trump and his campaign interacted with russians during the president ial campaign.

A morning newscast featuring breaking news and weather reports. Such concern about this . Reporter well, we have known about this meeting for a very long time, but what is only recently come to light is the fact that trump may have had advanced knowledge of this meeting or, very at the least, may have been told about it shortly after the fact. Michael cohen is preferred to testify to special counselor Robert Mueller that trump had a headsup about that meeting and contradict what donald trump jr. Has already told congressional investigators. Rudy giuliani, trumps personal attorney, is denying that trump jr. Is in legal jeopardy telling cnn n a statement, it is not so.
