Rudy Giuliani Says Trump's Legal Team Wants Mueller To 'Wrap The Damn Thing Up' Bwahahahahaaa

WASHINGTON — Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, one of President Trump’s attorneys, unloaded on special counsel Robert Mueller, the FBI and Trump’s one-time fixer Michael Cohen in a phone conversation with Yahoo News on Wednesday.

Giuliani said the Trump legal team is focused on encouraging Mueller to end his investigation into whether the president’s campaign colluded with Russian intervention efforts in the 2016 election. He further suggested that Mueller lacks the authority to prosecute Trump.

“Our strategy is … to do everything we can to try to convince Mueller to wrap the damn thing up, and if he’s got anything, show us,” Giuliani said. “If he doesn’t have anything, you know, write your report, tell us what you have, and we’ll deal with it. He can’t prosecute him [Trump]. All he can do is write a report about him, so write the goddamned thing and get it over with now.”

The special counsel’s office declined to comment on Giuliani’s assessment of the investigation.

And Giuliani should know about RICO cases. He was involved in them and took more credit than he deserved for the prosecutions.

Geez, Pistone was undercover, inside the NY mafia for nearly 2 years. Then(!) the prosecutor's office got involved.

We ain't even close to that amount of time yet.

when Trump hired you back in April (seems like a lifetime ago now) you said you would get Mueller to wrap up the investigation in a week or two.

I'm guessing Mueller ain't gonna listen to you on this, either.

Giuliani’s unprompted call to Yahoo News came hours after President Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for what a judge described as a “smorgasbord” of federal crimes.
