Giuliani: 'Our recollection keeps changing' - are they fucking kidding?

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said Sunday that the President should not testify before special counsel Robert Mueller because "our recollection keeps changing."

Giuliani made the comment when asked about fellow Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow's contradictory remarks on whether the President weighed in on a statement put out about his son Donald Trump Jr.'s controversial 2016 meeting with Russians at Trump Tower.

Sekulow co-authored with then-Trump attorney John Dowd a confidential January letter to special counsel Robert Mueller that acknowledged for the first time that Trump "dictated" the 2016 statement, contradicting several public statements by Sekulow and White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.

"I think Jay was wrong," Giuliani said on ABC's "This Week." "I mean, this is -- this is the reason you don't let the President testify. If, you know, every, our recollection keeps changing, or we're not even asked a question, and somebody makes an assumption, in my case, I made an assumption and then I, then, then we corrected, and I got it right out as soon as, as soon as, as soon as it happened. I think that's what happened here."

Cheeto's attorney as if it were a King's mandate. That's legal precedent now, isn't it?

Or is there another convenient excuse ? What an old dotard Giuliani has become.

Does anyone in the Rump's circle of friends and advisors listen to the crap Rudy is saying and tell the Rump that he'd better shut Rudy up or get rid of him? I can believe that the Rump himself thinks Rudy's 'splainin' sounds cogent, but surely there is at least one person with some sense.
