Nobody got killed, nobody got robbed: Rudy Giuliani insists Trumps campaign violations are not a big crimePresident Donald Trumps personal attorney Rudy Giuliani attempted to wave away allegations that the president engaged in a conspiracy to break campaign finance laws before his election.
Former Trump Organization attorney Michael Cohen was sentenced Wednesday to 36 months in prison on a variety of charges, and he implicated the president in the crime and coverup which Giuliani insisted was not a serious violation, reported The Daily Beast.
Nobody got killed, nobody got robbed, Giuliani told the website. This was not a big crime.
Prosecutors have heard recordings of the president discussing hush money payments with the attorney and National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who is also cooperating with investigators, but Giuliani compared the apparent felony crimes to parking citations.
I think in two weeks theyll start with parking tickets that havent been paid, he said.

I don't think that is going to fly.

(2,039 posts)When Ghouli was a prosecutor did he only prosecute violent criminals? Are all of their attorneys now asking the federal judge to overturn their convictions because they didn't kill anyone or they didn't rob anyone?
The party of law and order has now completely become the party of It's OK if you are a republican.

(58,706 posts)Does anybody doubt that Trump & Co at the very least tacitly approved of that murder?
Even if they weren't in on it, they're covering for the murderers.

(24,437 posts)suggesting that Rudy was "two steps away" from claiming that laws shouldn't apply to rich old white men. Sure as hell sounds like it to me.
