Tapes!

Немного новостей Руди Джулиани, который не сходит с арены.

Как я писал, два дня назад Джулиани сообщил, что переговоры о Trump Tower Moscow шли до самого момента президентских выборов:

The Trump Tower Moscow discussions were “going on from the day I announced to the day I won,” Mr. Giuliani quoted Mr. Trump as saying during an interview with The New York Times.

Это, значит, было два дня назад. А через два дня, Джулиани передумал -- Giuliani Says His Moscow Trump Tower Comments Were ‘Hypothetical’.

Также вчера Джулиани пояснил, почему он уверен в том, что информация в статье BuzzFeed -- неправда.

“Even If He Did Do It, It Wouldn’t Be a Crime”: Rudy Giuliani on President Trump

Окончание интервью замечательное:

But I can tell you, from the moment I read the story, I knew the story was false.

Because?

Because I have been through all the tapes, I have been through all the texts, I have been through all the e-mails, and I knew none existed. And then, basically, when the special counsel said that, just in case there are any others I might not know about, they probably went through others and found the same thing.

Wait, what tapes have you gone through?

I shouldn’t have said tapes. They alleged there were texts and e-mails that corroborated that Cohen was saying the President told him to lie. There were no texts, there were no e-mails, and the President never told him to lie.

So, there were no tapes you listened to, though?

No tapes. Well, I have listened to tapes, but none of them concern this.

Отлично, чувствуется, что на вопросы отвечает человек подкованный, адвокат.

И, кстати, about tapes. Мы знаем, что Коэн записывал свои разговоры с Трампом. Это, теоретически, может объяснить, каким образом Мюллер может иметь документальное подтверждение того, что Трамп дал указание Коэну врать Конгрессу.
