Giuliani: Trump's team should be allowed to "correct" Mueller report before it goes to Congress

Exclusive: Trump team should be allowed to ‘correct’ final Mueller report, says Giuliani

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/424871-exclusive-trump-team-should-be-allowed-to-correct-final-mueller

Rudy Giuliani says President Trump’s legal team should be allowed to “correct” special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report before Congress or the American people get the chance to read it.

The claim, made in a telephone interview with The Hill on Thursday evening, goes further than the president’s legal advisers have ever gone before in arguing they have a right to review the conclusions of Mueller’s probe, which is now in its 20th month.

“As a matter of fairness, they should show it to you — so we can correct it if they’re wrong,” said the former New York City mayor, who is a member of Trump's personal legal team. “They’re not God, after all. They could be wrong.”

The special counsel's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

They act like this is a daily two way street with give and take fairness. You give them fairness, they spit in your face. Rudy needs to be disbarred, and jailed himself.

3. How many times does a prosecutor pass his criminal complaint to the defense council

before turning it over to a court?

That is kind of bypassing independence for due process.

How can people who lie all the time be trusted to 'correct' anything? (Rhetorical question)

Rudy has a point. If you want to know if Trump colluded with Russians, just ask him. He knows better than anyone. Makes perfect sense.

I think most Americans would believe the Mueller version of events

Presumably because the office looked a lot like this after they saw the statement:
