(3,344 posts)The tweet is very misleading. Rudy's claim is that only the obstruction part would be finished by September.

(3,344 posts)First sentence in the article:
The special counsel plans to finish by Sept. 1 its investigation into whether President Trump obstructed the Russia inquiry, according to the presidents lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani,
Rudy is only talking about the obstruction of justice inquiry, not the collusion with Russia inquiry and everything else.

(2,050 posts)That stated the dumpf cabal was bracing for some new indictments maybe coming this week, I sure hope it happens.
As for rudy knowing anything about a timetable is laughable, like they'd tell him anything......

(48,955 posts)that the investigation will wrap up (and he'll be fine) by.... Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc. This scoop seems to be aimed (that is leaked) to calm down the twittering dotard and stem the damage being wreaked due to said twittering.

(48,955 posts)I think he agitates his lawyers - just in a different way - as much as he agitates the rest of the country.

(24,128 posts)to run political interference and PR; that's about all. Though you're right--maybe a little placating and day care thrown in.

Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)I wonder if it's just a coincidence that other than these ongoing conversations with Giuliani, Mueller's people haven't leaked one iota of info to anyone else in the world.
Things that make you go "hmmmm".

(32,077 posts)Prosecutors talk to defense attorneys and defense attorneys talk to prosecutors. No one is "leaking" to anyone when they do this.
