Giuliani says Trump team leaning towards ignoring Mueller questions

President Trump's legal team is becoming more and more convinced it should ignore questions by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani told Fox News' "Hannity" on Monday night, saying it's "highly unlikely" the Trump team will meet again with prosecutors.

Giuliani's comments underscored the newly combative tenor of Trump's camp towards Mueller ahead of the trial of former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, set to start Tuesday in a Virginia federal court.

"Given the revelations of the last three or four weeks, we've gone further away from the idea of answering any questions from them," Giuliani told Sean Hannity. "We don't think they have a legitimate investigation.”

Giuliani, who previously claimed Mueller's team may have been trying to "frame" Trump, also laughed off a New York Times report that prosecutors were looking at Trump's tweets to build an obstruction-of-justice case against the president.

"I believe we're coming towards the end," Giuliani said of the Mueller probe. "And now they're looking at his tweets. Obstruction of justice by tweet. I prosecuted obstruction of justice -- if they're going to do obstruction of justice by tweet, to impeach a president, God bless us."

A bit tired of Giuliani running his mouth. A bit like Gingrich.

Giuliani is the media face of the Trump legal team. They are spinning circles around Müller and the media.

They have Trump with his jacket off screaming,”Hold me back!”

Don’t underestimate Rudy or Trump. There will be no testimony.

I share your concerns but it’s complicated. The Trump team has to say something. It has to maintain a position on all the different aspects of the witch hunt. We need somebody in front of the camera all the time.

But because language can be manipulated and leftists in the media are dishonest, every time our team says something, they use their spin machine to make it come out less than ideal. On the other hand, Giuliani may simply be too far past his prime to serve effectively at this point. I’m really unhappy with how our side’s been handling the PR too. We’ve just not meant the monumental challenge and this failure has emboldened the coup plotters.

Of course Trump won't meet....but the Press will keep following

this story as long as Trump keeps using his laser for those ‘cats’ to chase.

There should be a second Special Council to investigate Mueller and company for Treason, Sedition, Falsifying evidence, perjury, abuse of power, being s**t hole liars.

Really.
Rudy, shut up. You’re not doing your client any favors with your interviews.

Yes, and Trump should and could appoint it. A very large special counsel for this MASSIVE conspiracy of high treason.

Trump is severely undermining Mueller’s credibility to the point Mueller is unbelievable.

At that moment, freaks on the left unleash a kind of chartreuse, pastels mosaic at violent protests.

They go so crazy, they occupy snow covered mountain tops and American soccer fields.

I’m getting Whiplash watching Real News vs Fake News in their tennis match. It was entertaining at first. Now it’s just a SideShow that’s missing cues and misreading the scripts.
Rudy, please go home. You will always be “America’s Mayor’, for the America of 2001, anyway.

We, President Trump’s constituents, should not expect others to do all of the public affairs work for us. It’s up to us to stop whining and do our share to keep him in office and motivate the vote for a more friendly Congress for him.
