giuliani says trump may have talked to Cohen about testimony

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/01/20/politics/rudy-giuliani-trump-cohen-cnntv/index.html

President Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani argued Sunday he did not know for sure if Trump spoke with Michael Cohen about his congressional testimony, but that it would not have been significant if Trump did.

"I don't know if it happened or didn't happen. It may be attorney-client privilege if it happened, where I can't acknowledge it. But I have no knowledge that he spoke to him, but I'm telling you I wasn't there then," Giuliani said on CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper.

*snip*

That took all of 2 days.

Because we all know Trump communicated with Cohen somehow, either directly or indirectly. Probably directly.

We know Cohen "circulated" his testimony.

undermine one of ghouli's or trump's past lies.

ghouli, and I should add kellyane and bartiromo, [yes there are many others], all lack any spine, or self respect.

For a few years I have been hearing Rudy & Trump spouting about "attorney/client privilege". I also understand that Trump is known for not using e-mail. Last year I heard Don Jr. claim he had "father/son" privilege.

Put that all together, and there is a possibility that Trump and Cohen communicated to each other in writing about lying to Congress via Don Jr's e-mail account. That may explain why Don Jr thinks he has some sort of privileged protection.

just about everything without even trying, since they personally don't know when they lied or not.
