Is Ghouliani trying to get ahead of another shoe dropping?



Per @CNN, Rudy Giuliani is now making the very specific claim that it's "not a crime" if the campaign received hacked emails from WikiLeaks.

... which is exactly what I'd expect him to say if he knows it's about to be revealed that the campaign received hacked emails from WL.

I am not an attorney, but I have heard attorneys say on a number of occasions that receiving anything of value and benefit to the campaign without disclosing it is a violation of campaign finance laws.

Also, isn't receiving illicitly acquired information and using it illegal?

Third, didn't several people tell the FBI or Mueller that they never got hacked emails so there is also lying to the FBI and Special Prosecutor.

I believe he is again projecting his own Obstruction of Justice. Whitaker has probably tipped him and Ghouliy that Mueller has the goods.
