Lying Rudy furiously backpedaling. Again.

[someoneyouknow]

Thanks to a recent BuzzFeed article which claims the con artist instructed his former attorney Michael Cohen to lie to a Congressional committee, Lying Rudy Giuliani was out and about on Sunday trying desperately to come up with new and exciting excuses about his previous comments relating to how long the con artist had been in discussion to create one of his failed towers in Moscow.

Initially, way back when, Giuliani said discussions for the tower stopped long before the con artist thought about running for office. That story then changed to discussions occurring right up to the campaign, followed by the goalposts being moved to just after the start of the campaign.

While all this was going on, more news came out about these discussions which showed the con artist was willing to bribe his Russian handler with a $20 million penthouse in the failing tower.

Now Giuliani has once again revised his numerous past statements, saying, "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."

The new timetable means that Mr. Trump was seeking a deal at the time he was calling for an end to economic sanctions against Russia imposed by the Obama administration. He was seeking a deal when he gave interviews questioning the legitimacy of NATO, a favorite talking point of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. And he was seeking a deal when, in July 2016, he called on Russia to release hacked Democratic emails that Mr. Putin’s government was rumored at the time to have stolen.​

Lying Rudy also said, contrary to Cohen's recent statements, the con artist never directed Cohen to lie to the Congressional committee. Sure, they may have talked about what to say, but it's not unusual for someone being investigated to talk to a witness about their upcoming testimony. It's a common thing. Happens all the time. It happened when Rudy was a prosecutor. He saw it as no big deal.

UPDATE

Rudy is now backpedaling on the backpedaling. After saying the con artist personally told him he had been working on a deal with Russia all during the campaign, Lying Rudy is now saying he's not sure if any of that occurred.

"My recent statements about discussions during the 2016 campaign between Michael Cohen and then-candidate Donald Trump about a potential Trump Moscow 'project' were hypothetical and not based on conversations I had with the President," Giuliani said in a statement. "My comments did not represent the actual timing or circumstances of any such discussions. The point is that the proposal was in the earliest stage and did not advance beyond a free non-binding letter of intent."​

In other words, the con artist told you to go back and lie to the media to try and cover up for you non-lie of what the con artist told you. Just like the con artist told Cohen to lie to Congress.

Good job, Rudy. You're doing a heck of a job at playing attorney.

This allows the Trumpettes to choose which statement they want to believe (and then parrot on the discussion board). It's done on purpose with a view toward Trumpettes' intelligence quotients.

The interesting thing is, one or the other statement was or is a lie, yet they keep claiming Cohen is a known liar.

Again, that's a bit too complex for the Trumpettes to absorb.
