Is Giuliani worried about Trump’s truth?

USA TODAY OPINION

Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s lawyer, said on Sunday that he won’t let special counsel Robert Mueller rush an interview with the president, arguing that investigators could have Trump “testify so that he gets trapped into perjury” and that “truth isn’t truth.”

There is no such thing as a perjury trap for a person who isn’t lying.

Giuliani is essentially admitting that Trump will lie under oath. And that is a crime, regardless of what you are lying about or why. Andy Sandfoss

OK, Giuliani. Let me explain it to you. Truth is truth, period!

Now, if it is someone’s words over another’s — without any physical evidence or witnesses — then it comes down to memory and credibility. It would help Giuliani to represent someone who does not lie every two minutes.

So in the last couple of days, the president’s lead personal attorney has stated that facts are whatever you want them to be and that there is no essential truth. Sounds like a good fit for this administration. Jim Peck

All Trump has to do is tell the truth to Mueller, a fellow Republican, and then all his worries and problems will disappear. It’s so simple: Just tell the truth for once in your life. And yes, everyone has different perspective of events, but that’s not an excuse not to testify.

Top lawyers will tell you you should never agree to meet with prosecutors of your case! Nothing good can come of it!

Since the Mueller investigation has been speculated to be a fraud orchestrated by the Justice Department and the CIA, among others, why would Trump even entertain the idea of sitting down with the special counsel and his illegitimate witch hunt!
