Through the b. S. I dont know if theres been any. Wants to cut through the b. S. , get the answers to the questions about how long this is going to go on and this is what was most interesting to me. One of my sources says to me, hes going to find out if we have to fight and where this leads. They seem to think that Rudy Giuliani will be the one to be able to do that where nobody else was able to do that before. In some interviews today he talked about his prior relationship with Robert Mueller. Its not clear to me how a prior relationship with mueller would impact an on going investigation. And he told that in his interview that they do have a prior relationship. I think i should remind people that john dab the lawyer that quit also had a prior relationship with mueller.
