“That will not change,” Giuliani said of the demand to view the documents. “We are not going to budge.”

“We want to see the documents — this matters far more to my client than to any member of Congress," he added.Donald Trumps

Trump's allies hope the documents pertaining to the informant will prove Trump's claims that former President Obama spied on his campaign for the purpose of aiding Hillary Clinton.

The president has repeatedly suggested without evidence that the FBI's use of an informant amounted to a "spy" on his campaign, and that the investigation into his campaign's alleged ties to Russia is nothing more than a politically-motivated scheme started by the Obama administration.

What are we averaging now like three ludicrous demands and three retracted or respun statements per week from this clown?

that they don't get to set the conditions of their interview with Mueller? Who do these assholes think they're dealing with, Don Jr?

Any other conditions, Rudy? Maybe Donnie Two Scoops wants a backrub and a blowjob?

Go suck yourself, Goo-goo -- the witness doesn't get to set the terms of his testimony. But you knew that already, didn't you? You're just playing to the base, so they'll be able to blow off Mueller's findings no matter how much evidence there is to support them.
