Giuliani can't say 100 percent Trump didn't threaten Ukraine aid

Source: The Hill


BY REBECCA KLAR - 09/23/19 10:07 AM EDT

Rudy Giuliani on Monday said that he can’t say for certain that Trump didn’t threaten Ukraine aid when he spoke to that country's president about an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden's son.

Giuliani, who is acting as the president's personal attorney, during an interview Monday with Fox Business first said reports that Trump threatened to cut aid was “a false story,” but then backtracked when pressed.

“Did the president threaten to cut off aid to the Ukraine,” Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo asked Giuliani during the interview.

“No, no that was a false story,” he responded.
“One hundred percent?,” the host asked Giuliani.

“Well, I can’t tell you if it’s 100 percent,” Giuliani said.

He's 100% sure he isn't 100% sure. Rudy is a nuanced man. And a no-sensed one, also. marble falls Sep 2019 #3

The Whitehouse always rolls out Giuliani when they're in crisis mode. He does the same thing every time. First, its outright denial, then he says Trump did it but there's nothing illegal about it. Giuliani must be getting paid good to look like a fool. Its about all he's good for!

It's certainly not true, but I am not sure if it's certainly not true. These people are a satire.

are a part of a bigger plan to help create chaos along with everything else. ie...just one more scandalous story to try and cover amidst the plethora of turds flying out daily from the shitstorm that is the Trump administration.

I am convinced now that creating chaos is a big part of the plan. From day one, keep em on their toes, have the MSM running around like headless chickens even as you are planning what the next disruption you will heap on the nation. So they never do catch up, neither to themselves or the American pubic. So nothing can be decisively either contradicted or confirmed.

I think people on our side underestimate how powerful that approach is. By doing that, Trump is always riding on top of the shitstorm. while America spins beneath him. I just imagine a giant spinning storm like a sideways tornado, or cylinder, and Trump is running along on top of it spinning crimes and tweets, and insults, as he runs to keep his position on the top. Once in awhile scandal starts to catch up, the cylinder starts to slow, but he just adds new fresh meat, it doesn't matter if it puts him in a bad light or not, or if someone like Rudy does it for him, making a "slip" to be rehashed for 24 hours. Something for the MSM news to chew on.

If the MSM is being gorged every day with this fresh meat, what they live on to pay their bills, why would they even go out of their way to pay their journalists to start digging into areas where they don't know how it will turn out? When they have a platter to feast on provided every day from their Reality Star ratings god in the White House?

Lock him up.

To determine if he's a co-conspirator (since he traveled to Kiev for his mob boss)?
