Rudy wants Mueller to "write the goddamned thing, and get it over with now."



“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 told the outlet. “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.”

Giuliani maintained that Trump did not work with Russians to interfere in the 2016 election to bolster his own candidacy and hurt his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. He said his confidence in this statement was based on having seen questions the special counsel submitted to the president — which Trump has claimed he has personally answered and completed — as well the belief that no one in Trump’s inner circle was guilty in relation to the Russia inquiry.

“I’ve seen their questions. There’s nothing to look at,” Giuliani said. “They could look at collusion for the next 30 years and, unless they get somebody to lie, they’re not going to find any evidence of it because it didn’t happen.”

“I think he’s desperately trying to come up with some smoke and mirrors so he can say there’s some form of collusion. I don’t think he can do it,” Giuliani added about Mueller. “I saw a prosecutor that was on a fishing expedition as opposed to somebody that has a solid piece of evidence and wants to nail you with it. It’s like something you’d do at a beginning of a case – not the end.”

But, if you try sometimes, you might just get what you deserve. (Apologies, to the Stones)

Here we are, grinding along toward 2019, and there's really no end in sight. Guilty pleas keep coming in, wrong-doers keep being sentenced, and I get the impression that the surface has barely been scratched, that there's a LOT more to come. There's something behind all those redactions in the sentencing memos, Rudy. People don't go to prison just to make your client look guilty.

Because what is not seen is what inflicts the most damage.

How naive he is.

this investigation is being handled by competent people.

Good management lets capable people do their jobs.

I'm kind of enjoying seeing the nervous outbursts as they close in on these traitors.

it looks like he really just has a couple of more i's to dot and t's to cross, and a few more sealed indictments to open.

You can think of it as sort of being like a judicial Advent Calendar. But with indictments. And guilty pleas. And cooperation agreements. And jail time.
