"I shouldn't have said 'tapes' ": the Rudy Giuliani of Rudy Giuliani fuckups

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/um-tapes

Read the whole thing, buu-uut...

RG - Rudy Giuliani
NYR - New Yorker reporter

RG: But I can tell you, from the moment I read the story, I knew the story was false.

NYR: Because?

RG: Because I have been through all the tapes, I have been through all the texts, I have been through all the e-mails, and I knew none existed. And then, basically, when the special counsel said that, just in case there are any others I might not know about, they probably went through others and found the same thing.

NYR: Wait, what tapes have you gone through?

RG: I shouldn’t have said tapes.

No, Rudy, you shouldn't have. You really shouldn't have said ANYTHING. But you DID.

That's with no editing!

And the President had no conversations. I shouldn’t say he had no conversations. He had a few conversations about this early-stage proposal that he ended somewhere in early 2016, and doesn’t have a recollection of anything else, and there is nothing to support anything else.

Giuliani is really bad at this "telling a consistent story" thing, isn't he? And when Giuliani's 'evidence' is that a man who many regard as fundamentally dumb, and possibly now developing Alzheimer's, and everyone knows lies constantly, "doesn't have a recollection", it's not worth the electrons it takes to transmit.

He doesn't HAVE to go on TV an answer these questions. It's in the best interest of his client that he doesn't. But his ego is just as big as Trump's and he just can't help himself. He HAS to get in front of a camera. So strange...

you generally do not have to keep making new stuff up to explain the old lies.

But that's not really an option for him.
