President Donald Trump has repeatedly hurled insults at the FBI agents working on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the 2016 campaign. Rudy Giuliani, a former U.S. attorney who’s now Trump’s lawyer, has attacked them as “stormtroopers.” The vitriol is unsurprising. The agents are powering an investigation that has shadowed Trump’s entire presidency — and they are mostly unknown to the public, making them easy targets. They are a mix of bureau veterans and relative newcomers handpicked by Mueller and his prosecutors to handle the highest-profile and most sensitive federal investigation in a generation. To assemble this portrait of Mueller’s...

President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe into obstruction of justice by the president will wrap up by Sept. 1 because allowing it to continue longer could improperly influence the mid-term elections in November, according to a report on Sunday.

Is it just me, or was bringing Rudy Giuliani onto his legal team a monumentally bad decision on the part of the Trump administration?

Ever since Donald J. Trump won a stunning victory against Hillary Clinton and the Democrats, the Left was convinced there was something at play to cause this event. How could the politically tone deaf Hillary lose? How could a woman with no charisma, economic agenda, or political skill lose? How could a woman who wrote off half the country as deplorable racists lose? You know the answer to this, but for liberals it had to be the Russians. The mocking of the GOP over Russia being our biggest geopolitical rival was relegated to the trashcan. Now, it was the...

Ingraham: Timeline, what is your optimal timeline for this to wrap up? Article Continues Below Delicious Cheddar Biscuits Rudy: They should do it today. I mean as soon as possible. I think that they have the facts from which they can write their report. If you can write a fair report fine, then write it. If you’re gonna write an unfair report, write it and we will combat it. We’re ready to rip it apart. And we’re ready to rip them apart if that’s what they want. We’d rather peacefully settle this and get it over with.

RUSH: Moving on now to the Rudy interview on Fox last night. And as I say, I got home and emails, did you write whatever people were saying. I didn’t know what it was about. I do now, obviously. So Rudy interview with Hannity. The takeaway from the Rudy interview is that somehow Rudy really stepped in it by acknowledging that Trump was aware of the $130,000 payment to Stormy when Trump had said that he wasn’t. There’s no doubt in my mind why Rudy did this. , Rudy Giuliani is not stupid. Don’t forget, there was a raid of...

President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has concluded it can’t indict a sitting president.

President Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, told Fox News Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller has told the president's legal team he will follow Justice Department guidance and not seek an indictment against Trump. Giuliani, himself a former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York City, also told Fox that Mueller's investigators have not responded to five information requests from the president's team. That has forced Trump's legal team to push off making a decision about whether the president will sit for an interview with the special counsel -- a decision they had hoped to reach by Thursday. The precedent that...

Do you need any more evidence to confirm that the Special Counsel is conducting a witch hunt intended to entrap VSGPDT? Mueller rejects Trump request to answer questions in writing. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is now on President Trump's legal team, told CBS News correspondent Paula Reid Monday that special counsel Robert Mueller's office has rejected proposals to allow Mr. Trump to answer questions from investigators in writing. No, you do not. Even the Never-Trumpers have figured this out. Trying to overthrow the duly elected President since May, 2017 Just stop it. Now. We’ve got much bigger fish...

President Donald Trump's top personal attorney Rudy Giuliani on Sunday said that "nobody seems to care" that former Secretary of State John Kerry is ‘violating the Logan Act' by quietly trying to save the Iran nuclear deal. Giuliani appeared on ABC's "This Week" where he was initially discussing Trump and what he knew about the $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, but then pivoted and talked about how nobody seemed to care about Kerry violating the Logan Act, which prohibits American citizens from negotiating with foreign governments, including unauthorized members of Congress "Certainly before April 5, 2018, the...

So now who’s the liar? Advice to Chris Cuomo: if to suit your political purposes you’re going to misrepresent what someone said, don’t do so when there’s clear video evidence of the person saying something entirely different. On CNN this morning, Cuomo falsely claimed that in his interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC yesterday, Rudy Giuliani said that he wouldn’t advise President Trump to sit down with Robert Mueller because Trump “could well lie.” But as the clip from the Stephanopoulos makes clear, Rudy was, in fact, concerned that James Comey might lie, and that his perjured testimony could be...

Trump 'Committed' to Iran Regime Change, Giuliani Says Days Before Nuclear Deadline President's lawyer and confidant calls regime change 'only way to achieve Mideast peace and 'more important than an Israeli-Palestinian deal' ■ Rohani warns of 'historic' mistake Amir Tibon (Washington) May 06, 2018 8:31 AM WASHINGTON – U.S. President Donald Trump is "committed" to regime change in Iran, Trump's lawyer and confidant Rudy Giuliani said on Saturday. The unusual statement comes just days before Trump will have to make a dramatic decision on the fate of the nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic. Giuliani, the former New York City...

Interviewed by George Stephanopoulos on This Week today, Rudy Giuliani, lawyer to President Trump, laughed in response to several questions. Clearly, Rudy wanted to show that neither he nor the President were concerned by the various allegations raised. But have a look and see if you think this was an effective strategy on Rudy's part.

Which element of Donald Trump do you delight in despising most? Every day brings a fresh example of pugnacious behaviour, another execrable opinion, more insights into his arriviste 24-carat gold tap taste or strutting vanity. We lap up every revelation; his bombast is brilliant clickbait. The Trump Show gains top ratings in our everyday dialogue; his latest tweets are a failsafe conversation starter. This week alone brought a basketload of delights (he’s the gift that just keeps on giving. No wonder sales of the New York Times are up 10 per cent). Now we know he’s the author of that...

President Trump's newest legal adviser, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, shocked White House allies on Wednesday when he admitted in a televised appearance that President Trump reimbursed his personal attorney for the $130,000 payment he made to porn actress Stormy Daniels. ..Another attorney, who requested anonymity because of his ties to Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow, said Giuliani's comments were even worse because they appeared to contradict a comment Trump made to reporters in early April about Cohen's payment to Daniels...

CNN political analyst April Ryan twisted Sarah Sanders' words on Thursday night in order to make the absurd suggestion that the White House press secretary is looking for a physical confrontation with the star reporter. After Ryan asked a combative question about comments Rudy Giuliani recently made on Fox News during Thursday’s press briefing, Sanders told Ryan, “Well, with all due respect, you actually don’t know much about me.” Ryan misquoted Sanders while speaking to CNN colleague Don Lemon on-air afterwards, claiming the press secretary said, “You don’t know me,” before declaring the phrase to be fighting words. “For Sarah...

As Rudy Giuliani enters the center ring of the legal fight between President Donald Trump and special counsel Robert Mueller, the former New York City mayor is already anticipating one possible battle – a subpoena for President Trump to testify. “I think it's 50/50,” Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, told ABC News regarding the possibility of a subpoena. “But I got to prepare for that 50 percent.” As ABC News confirmed earlier this week, the president’s legal team was told by Mueller he could “compel” the president to testify before a grand jury via a subpoena. As Ty Cobb steps...

Name names, Joe . . . On today’s Morning Joe, a shocking assertion was lost amidst the blather about Rudy Giuliani’s revelation that President Trump reimbursed Michael Cohen for the payment to Stormy Daniels. In his column in today’s Washington Post, Joe Scarborough praises the Rudy Giuliani who cleaned up a filthy, crime-infested NYC in the 90s and valiantly became America’s Mayor after 9-11. Scarborough wonders how Giuliani has gone from that to now serving as “Trump’s chump.” Scarborough says that even viewed as a cynical career move, Rudy’s decision to serve Trump as he has makes no sense given...

A year ago Donald Trump suggested the media is the enemy of the people. Check out this new tweet from The Hill: Really? Here's a piece from the article: Rudy Giuliani said late Wednesday that men like senior presidential adviser Jared Kushner are “disposable,” but it would cross the line for the special prosecutor to go after first daughter Ivanka Trump. Scroll down a little more and you see what Giuliani did actually say: “Jared is a fine man, you know that,” Giuliani, who joined President Trump's legal team last month, said on Fox News. “Men are disposable. But a fine woman like Ivanka?...

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani joined Sean Hannity for a wide-ranging exclusive interview on "Hannity." Giuliani recently joined President Donald Trump's legal team defending him in the special counsel probe into alleged Russian collusion which is headed by former FBI Director Robert Mueller.
