The Plot Thickens: Rudy Giuliani confronted about his remarks about knowing the email investigation.

[quote]Washington (CNN)Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani now denies that he was told by former FBI agents that the bureau was reviewing newly discovered emails potentially related to Hillary Clinton's use of a private server before the review was publicly revealed.
Giuliani, a top Donald Trump surrogate and adviser, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room" Friday that the FBI's announcement "came as a complete surprise, except to the extent that maybe it wasn't as much of a surprise."
"I got it all from former FBI agents. Tremendous anger within the FBI about the way, number one, Jim Comey's conclusion (to not recommend criminal charges in July) and, number two, the way they believed they were being obstructed by what they regard as a pretty corrupt Obama Justice Department," Giuliani said. "Cutting off a grand jury investigation, cutting off subpoenas."
Earlier Friday, Giuliani, a former federal prosecutor, said he had "heard about" a forthcoming FBI announcement before it became public.
"This has been boiling up in the FBI. I did nothing to get it out. I had no role in it. Did I hear about it? Darn right I heard about it," Giuliani said on "Fox and Friends." He continued, "I can't even repeat the language I heard from the former FBI agents."
Giuliani insisted to Blitzer that he did not receive a tip from someone currently in the FBI.
"In my case, it's real simple: I've talked to no FBI agent, I've talked to no Justice Department official. I have no idea about who's leaking information."[/quote]

Rudy Giuliani was bragging about how the Trump Campaign had a few big surprises upcoming in the next few days in a fox news interview. When pressed about it, he said "You'll see."
Next day James Comey sends that letter out. Conspiracy theories start coming out about how he knew about this investigation, citing that fox news interview and citing multiple occasions where Rudy Giuliani bragged about his connections to FBI.
When confronted about it, he said that "Oh I meant Trump Ads!"
Most likely case is that Giuliana is just deranged and lying about his connections to FBI because every other interview he says something different and contradictory about his connections to FBI.
I watched his interviews with both Kelly and Blitzer, he was able to cut Kelly off enough times before anything substantial could come out, although you could tell she wasn't buying what he was selling, but you sort of start seeing him fall apart on the Blitzer interview since it was much longer and Blitzer had more contradictory information against him. Either Giuliani is lying about something there, or he's suffering from the beginnings of Alzheimer's.
