President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani raised the nation’s eyebrows yesterday when during an impassioned debate with Meet the Press host Chuck Todd, he proclaimed “truth isn’t truth!” Given Trump’s past comments that “what you are seeing and what you are reading is not what’s happening” and Kellyanne Conway’s infamous “alternative facts” comment, many laid into this administration’s obvious obfuscation of objectivity as a last tactic in a lowing political war over the Mueller investigation.

This morning, the former New York Mayor cleaned up his Sunday morning comment with a tweet that clarified the intended meaning of his comment:

Despite the awkward turn of phrase of “truth isn’t truth,” reasonable viewers of the Meet the Press segment should have understood immediately what Giuliani had intended as he made clear that the former FBI Director James Comey and Donald Trump have diametrically opposed accounts of an alleged Oval Office conversation in which Trump asked Comey to “go easy” on former NSA Director Michael Flynn, an issue that lies at the heart of any potential charge of presidential obstruction of justice.

Or as Giuliani tweeted, he was referencing “the classic ‘he said, she said’ puzzle.”

1. I don't want to pontificate either, but...

Bullshit!

2. Rudy baby, you don't know what you meant to say...

because you just randomly spit out words. Like a word machine.

3. The difference being that in this "he said/he said"...

...one side took notes immediately after. Unless Donald Trump recorded the conversation, and because of his inclinations to lie, it is not a simple "he said/he said" equation of the truth.

4. So, then the claim that "Truth isn't truth" is just bullshit - eh Rudy?

[Me.]

5. Except One Of The Two

is a proven world class liar thus making his puzzlement puzzling

6. Sure it applies to Moral Theology. Someone wrote in those 800 errors and conflicts in the Bible.
