Bumbling Giuliani Moves Goalposts Again



With a TV lawyer like befuddled Rudy "Ghouliani" Giuliani, Kremlin asset and con man Donald "Rump" Trump may just want to confess to his crimes and resign. The erratic Giuliani opened up yet another can of worms for his corrupt client last night on CNN, where he told the surprised host Chris Cuomo:
"I never said there was no collusion between the campaign, or people in the campaign. I said the President of the United States. There is not a single bit of evidence the President of the United States committed the only crime you can commit here, conspiring with the Russians to hack the DNC."
Giuliani's statement directly contradicts Rump's repeated claim that no one in his campaign colluded with Russia, despite evidence that his own son chaired a meeting with Russian operatives for the purpose of gathering dirt on Hillary Clinton and evidence that campaign manager Paul Manafort provided polling data to Russia via operative Konstantin Kilimnick.

Rump himself claimed "no collusion" with Russia as late as December 10 in his "smocking" gun tweet:

It's said that a man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client. Rump might as well cut out the middleman because he's a fool anyway.

BONUS: There's discussion that Giuliani's messaging may spell trouble for greasy Don Jr. and Jared "Mr. Ivanka Trump" Kushner.
