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

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.

Mueller is so respected, Obama asked and received a special dispensation from Congress for Mueller to continue as FBI director beyond the term limit. Only J. Edgar Hoover served longer, and he was the reason for the limit.

I don't see evidence of such recognition of integrity in the Rude Ghoul.
