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

Source: The Hill



BY NIALL STANAGE - 01/11/19 08:55 AM EST

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.”

In the wide-ranging interview, Giuliani also made light of the decision by Michael Cohen — Trump’s former attorney, who was recently sentenced to three years in prison — to testify in public before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Feb. 7.

are laughing themselves silly. That's what the impeachment trial will be for Rudy. Better start working and preparing your case. You don't get to hold America hostage for 3+ years and then just "touch up" the inconvenient parts that prove guilt. YOU aren't God either ya putz.

Mueller will be able to report the changes.

They can't do this and get away with it. The House can subpoena the Mueller report from Mueller himself, can't they? I would think so.

Here's what we do.

We let Rudy and his minions do all the "correcting" they want.

Then we charge everyone who worked on the whitewash job with Obstruction of Justice, Aiding and Abetting, False Official Statements, Misprision, and anything else we can think of that'll see Rudy die of old age behind bars.

He does not know what the fuck he's talking about.

Would you want your triple-bypass surgery to be performed by a cardiologist who hasn't touched a patient in 30 years? I don't think so.
