Trump bragged about having a great memory, but suddenly can’t remember anything about the Trump Tower Moscow project.
Wow. Rudy Giuliani has made a fool of himself before, but he really outdid himself this time. Here’s an actual conversation with George Snuffleupagus:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Did the president – did Donald Trump know that Michael Cohen was pursuing the Trump Tower in Moscow into the summer of 2016?
GIULIANI: According to the answer that he gave, it would have covered all the way up to – covered up to November, 2016. Said he had conversations with him but the president didn’t hide this.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Earlier they had said those conversations stopped in January, 2016.
GIULIANI: I don’t — I mean, the date — I mean, until you actually sit down and you look at the questions, and you go back and you look at the papers and you look at the — the — you’re not going to know what happened. That’s why — that’s why lawyers, you know, prepare for those answers.
I assume he is talking about OTHER lawyers being prepared to answer questions.
I think part of what is going on is Giuliani is really hurting for money and Trump has promised him the moon to be his front man. Of course, knowing Trump’s m.o., Rudy is unlikely to see much of what was actually promised.
Giuliani has always been a tool, but he used to be a somewhat *sharp* tool. He’s obviously just someone they can stand next to Rump to make him look less dumb in contrast.
But is it an act, or is he really that dumb now? My Grandma used to say (citing Gracie Allen) that it takes someone smart to play a dumb part.
But on the other hand, of course, Trump.
