Rudy Giuliani Can’t Handle This 1998 Clip of Him Blowing Up His Own Trump Claims
He also used Martha Stewart as an argument against a potential Mueller interview.

But during a live interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo Friday, Giuliani was forced to confront remarks he made in 1998 that appear to undercut that very assertion. “You’ve got to do it,” Giuliani told Charlie Rose when asked about a presidential subpoena in 1998. “I mean, you don’t have a choice. There is a procedure for handling that.”

“That’s extremely unfair what you’re doing right now,” Giuliani complained as the clip played on a split screen. “This is the reason people don’t come on this show.” He later called the network “disgusting.”

The tense moment came during a nearly 45 minute segment that included multiple attacks against the Russia investigation and the FBI. Giuliani told Cuomo that Robert Mueller has agreed to limit the scope of potential questions for Trump down to two to five subjects. (He claimed that Trump would agree to an interview “tomorrow” if he believed Mueller’s investigation was dealing with the truth and not a potential perjury trap. He used Martha Stewart as an example, suggesting that she “never would have gone to jail if she hadn’t gone and testified.”)

According to Giuliani, one of the off-limit categories will be any questions pertaining to Michael Cohen, the president’s longtime personal lawyer whose offices were raided by the FBI last month.

1. Hey, Rudy!

Why should we believe you about the Mueller interview? We only have your mealy-mouthed side of the story. Mr. Mueller hasn't said a word.

My recollections about you when you were a federal prosecutor are that you didn't let suspects dictate the terms of their interrogation or your investigations. Funny how you've changed your tune by about 180º!

There's nothing disgusting about CNN, Chris Cuomo or anyone else who has serious questions for your client, Trump. He is answerable to the people of the United States. You did take courses in Constitutional Law, didn't you?

In the end, Rudy, you're still the asshole you were when you were mayor of New York. Please shut up and sit down, you liar.

2. The mean liberal...

Is being so unfair to highlight that I am not holding Republicans to the same standards I hold Democrats.
