President Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, said Wednesday that he "never said there was no collusion" between the Trump campaign and Russia.
“I never said there was no collusion between the campaign. Or between people in the campaign," Giuliani said on CNN's "Cuomo Prime Time," after host Chris Cuomo said it was false to
suggest there was no collusion between Trump's presidential campaign and the Kremlin. Giuliani added that he has only said Trump, rather than his campaign, did not collude with the
Russians.
"There is not a single bit of evidence the president of the United States committed the only crime you could commit here, conspired with the Russians to hack the [Democratic National
Committee]," Giuliani said.“The president did not collude with the Russians," he added

Yes you did
Russia didn't interfere in the election.
OK, they interfered, but there were no contacts between Russia and the Trump Campaign.
OK, there were contacts, but Trump didn't have any deals with Russia.
OK, Trump had deals with Russia, but it's not like there were meetings with Russian intelligence agents.
OK, There were meetings with Russian intelligence agents, but Trump didn't know about them.
OK, Trump knew, but nothing came of them, so there was no collusion.
OK, some people in the campaign colluded, but Trump specifically didn't collude. <-- You are here.
OK, Trump colluded, but if he didn't Hillary would have won, so it's good that he did.
Almost at the end
Oh cool, so you never said they didn't commit multiple criminal actions including conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to commit computer crimes, conspiracy to commit campaign finance violations, aiding and abetting, and so on. You also never said they didn't sell American foreign policy to a hostile foreign power intent on attacking our national sovereignty and doing us general harm in whatever capacity possible, you fucking piece of shit traitor.
Hang the bastards. Hang them and parade their heads around on spikes, the fuckers.
The look on Cuomo's face when he realizes just how brain damaged Giuliani is, that is the face of a man who didn't know he had any faith left in humanity to lose, but just lost some anyway.
Rudi: "He said he [the president] didn't, he didn't say nobody did..."
So Trump said that he didn't collude but not that someone in his campaign might have. Stellar fucking defense there.
Honestly don't know what would be worse, being Trump's lawyer or having Rudy Giuliani as your lawyer
I never said there was no collusion

It's worth considering: Giuliani is both Trump's lawyer and his accomplice. As such it's possible he's deliberately making defense decisions that harm Trump to cover his own ass.

Me every fucking time I come to Polidicks anymore.
Every time Guiliani pulls his foot from his mouth it just springs back in even deeper.
At first he seems startled and perplexed, but by the end he just seems depressed.
I'm pretty sure that at this point, Giuliani just cuts out the middle-man and tastes with his feet like butterflies do.
It's astounding how this presidency started with shit like them declaring "We will not be questioned" in a complete lack of self-awareness, then one of the staff hid in the lawn bushes to avoid the press before he was fired shortly thereafter, and ever since then it's been the GOP and Trump administration denying all collusion before constantly buckling over and over and over by letting it slip of a gradually increasing scale of just how badly they fucked up. And they never seem to wise up.
And he says that with that eyebrow raising look like "see? It's how you say it that matters! I'm smart!"
Mueller owes us a report saying Trump and Giuliani colluded.
na Trump is behind all this. Any sane lawyer would have advised him to not comment, even after all this. We would not have known about don jr's meeting for sure if they hadn't confirmed it for us.
Trump doesn't get that by building his own narrative he's making it worse for himself legally even as it stokes his base. he brought in rudy to do one thing and that's to be yet another kellyanne and just make up shit constantly. I've never gotten the sense that Guilliani really is in the know about anything, Its pretty obvious that he's been cordoned off from the rest of the legal team because he goes out and makes bonkers statements. He's literally just a clown for people to see and listen to while his real lawyers do the behind the scenes work.
Love that he tried to work in the whole "collusion is not a crime" spiehl, too, by falsely stating that the "only possible crime" was the actual hacking attack of the DNC -- which clearly Trump did not personally participate in.
Been saying since Comey was fired that, by the end of it all, Trump's cult would accept that he "colluded," but argue that Treason is actually not a big deal -- or even heroic, since it saved us from Hillary.
I doubt Trump has ever even used a computer before, aside from smartphones.
I know this guy's nephew. Most of the extended family hates his fucking guts.
