After Saying Trump Asked Comey To Give Flynn 'A Break,' Giuliani Denies Comment

Talk about verbal gymnastics.

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Sunday that he definitely didn’t say what he said President Donald Trump said last month, but that if he did say what he said Trump said — which he did — he was saying what former FBI Director James Comey said Trump said, and that he would never have said Trump said that himself.

Huh?

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday, Giuliani denied ever saying that Trump had at one point asked Comey to give fired National Security Adviser Michael Flynn “a break.”

In fact, Giuliani did say that to ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos last month.

do these days is wait a few moments for an Avenatti throw-down and OH - here it is!:



I’m still waiting for @RudyGiuliani to have the guts to
appear opposite me. Every time he discovers we are
scheduled to appear together on a show, he and Trump
pull the plug. If I’m not a threat, then they should be
begging to embarrass me. Either step up or be quiet. #Waiting

It's got to be a pretty tough job keeping track of all of Trump's lies, let alone his own.
