Rudy Giuliani: 'Categorically False' that the 'President Counseled Michael Cohen to Lie'
Source: Mediaite
by Colby Hall | Jan 18th,
Rudy Giuliani is flatly denying claims that President Donald Trump directed Micahel Cohen to lie to Congress. This is the clearest denial since the Buzzfeed News report was published Thursday night.
In a statement first reported by CNN, Giuliani claims:
Since Thursday nights bombshell report that President Trump allegedly directed his former
attorney Cohen to lie to Congress about a potential Trump Tower Moscow, Trump surrogates have replied with the classic non-denial denial.2019, 12:50 pm

(14,180 posts)Is the one that Trump and Gouliano accuse of being a lying untrustworthy individual. What does that say about Trump's choice of lawyer?
I know I know, just another shovelful of crap in the massive pile.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)He hasn't actually practiced law in decades.
Sure, he was a named partner at a big law firm recently (a firm specializing in cybersecurity!), but that was just so they could put his name on the door, and so that he could give talks at rubber-chicken dinners with potential clients about the horrors of 9/11.
Having Giuliani as your attorney would be like having your triple-bypass open heart surgery performed by a celebrity cardiologist/author who hasn't actually touched a patient in 30 years. Would you trust your life to that?
Rudy doesn't know what he's talking about.
LiberalLovinLug
(14,180 posts)But it could probably also apply to Rudy.
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)But, yes, It could easily apply to both of them. They are attorneys in the same way that Dolph Lundgren is a chemical engineer (a discipline in which he has a fully legit master's degree, but he hasn't practiced it in a while).

(2,670 posts)Of course he didn't "counsel" him to lie. Counsel means to advise, suggest. What Trump allegedly did was DIRECT Cohen to lie to Congress. That's not giving counsel. That's an order.

(5,914 posts)Rudy was always in the game to advance his career. He couldn't give two shits about actual crime.

(3,115 posts)Why listen to this insane old asshole and his equally shitbrained partner in crime? They are liars through and through. I truly believe Cohen has nothing left to lose and wants to take them down with him (please please please!!!).
Think about it. If Cohen was somehow released, Dumpster would have him "silenced" anyhow. This is a gangster presidency.

"Michael Cohen is a convicted criminal and a liar"...BECAUSE he was instructed to commit crimes by the Traitor Tot. That's like the Godfather claiming the testimony of his minions is worthless because they're a bunch of crooks.
The Ghoul was all in favor of Michael Cohen's crimes in December.
Nobody got killed, nobody got robbed
This was not a big crime, Giuliani told The Daily Beast. I think in two weeks theyll start with parking tickets that havent been paid.

Is Rudy really on Donald's side?
D'ya suppose that, after their brief fling, Donald moved on and Rudy still hasn't gotten over it?
