Giuliani Attempts to Clarify Conflicting Statements on Trump Tower Meeting: ‘Our Recollection Keeps Changing’

by Josh Feldman | 10:05 am, June 3rd, 2018




President Trump‘s legal team has acknowledged POTUS dictated the infamous statement on the Don Jr. Trump Tower meeting, which contradicts claims made by one of those lawyers.

At the time there were reports last year saying the President personally dictated the misleading statement, Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow responded in a statement by saying, “Apart from being of no consequence, the characterizations are misinformed, inaccurate, and not pertinent.”

He made similar comments elsewhere last year, and this morning Rudy Giuliani was asked to account for these “shifting explanations” by George Stephanopoulos.

“I remember when this was first reported, Jay Sekulow was on my program,” he said, “said the president had nothing at all to do with that letter. Later, Sarah Sanders said well, wait, he sort of weighed in, but he didn’t dictate it, and now this letter from the president’s lawyers say very, very clearly he dictated the statement.”

your answers to my questions need to be honest or there will be consequences, legal consequences for you. Do you understand that?

(This could have already happened) ( Alert to all: It's Spculation )

Yes, Mr. Mueller.

Ok

Did Donald Trump dictate that letter?

YES HE DID.

Thank you Miss Hicks.

Why has everyone been denying and lying about what you just told me?

Hummmm, he told us not to say anything.

Former Trump legal team spokesman plans to tell Mueller that Hope Hicks hinted at concealing explosive emails about the Trump Tower Russia meeting


" Mark Corallo, the former spokesman of President Donald Trump's legal team, plans to tell the special counsel Robert Mueller that a key White House aide may have sought to obstruct justice last year.
According to The New York Times, Corallo plans to describe a conference call with the White House communications director, Hope Hicks, and Trump last year in which Hicks may have hinted at concealing crucial emails that are relevant to the Russia investigation.
The emails were related to a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, between several Russia-linked individuals and members of the Trump campaign, that is under heavy scrutiny from Mueller and congressional investigators.


Mark Corallo, the former spokesman for President Donald Trump's legal team, plans to tell the special counsel Robert Mueller that the White House communications director, Hope Hicks, may have hinted at concealing crucial emails that were exchanged before Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting in June 2016 with a Kremlin-connected lawyer, The New York Times reported Wednesday".

by discrediting the FBI informers and spies in the mob, giving the mob the telephone numbers that the FBI was tapping, showing them the prosecutors' case files before filing indictments, and telling a heap of lies about the FBI and prosecutors. Amazing that he won convictions.
