WaPo reporter Robert Costa re: Giuliani

NEWS-Giuliani, mins after Cobb exit, goes on-rec w/ @WashingtonPost re: Mueller intvw. “Some people have talked about a possible 12-hour interview. If it happens, that’s not going to happen, I’ll tell you that. It’d be, max, two to three hours around a narrow set of questions."

NEWS - Giuliani just now: "We’ve been talking about this. We are going to ask for a narrowing of the questions... we’d like to know more about what they have, if anything... They are going to need to narrow, to a great extent, the questions."

Giuliani re: Cobb: “[Legal team] had a long talk about it last week. The president let us know he had Emmet coming for an interview and we talked it through. Jay had the most to do with it. Jay felt he need someone that more aggressive."

Have people tweet to him that Hillary did 11 hours and he'll brag about doing 12 hours. He will 100% fall for the bait, he literally won't be able to help himself.

9. Working the refs (which is to say Fox and its knucklehead audience)

This way everyone in the Nitwit Brigade can make their banshee wails of "Unfair!" when their hero is subjected to the withering ordeal of having to sit still for four hours or something. Fox will make very sure that no mention of Hillary Clinton's 11 hour hearing gets on the air.

4. Mueller probably only needs 20 minutes to get Trump talking off his head and spilling the beans.

All Mueller has to do is listen as Trump digresses into criminal territory. Before you know it he'll be boasting of crimes. The recorders are running.

This is just public image posturing... before the subpoenas drop.

President Trump says he should be allowed to review the documents seized by the FBI as part of a criminal probe into his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, according to a new Manhattan court filing.”

15. I guess in his old age Rudy is getting senile

and forgetting his experience as a US Attorney. The witness doesn't get to decide how long they testify for, no matter who they are.
