Hello!

[yakov_a_jerkov]

Адвокат президента США на арене:

Rudy Giuliani, on CNN: "I never said there was no collusion between people in the campaign" and Russians.

And on Trump, "He said *he* didn't (collude with Russians.) He didn't say nobody."

Rudy said this when Chris Cuomo confronted him with the Special Counsel’s claim that Manafort shared campaign polling data with Konstantin Kalimnik.

В общем, напоминаю -- "Yes, collusion".

Да, и по поводу того, что Джулиани -- просто клоун. Клоун-то он клоун, но вот это тоже совершенно верно:

This is always how Rudy gets ahead of news. He goes on cable tv, does a wild interview, and shares stuff that appears to be gaffe when it’s not. He did the same thing with the Stormy Daniels payments last year. It’s all intentional.

P.S. Опрос пока открыт.

Здесь прослеживается эволюция от "There was no communication between the campaign and any foreign entity during the campaign.” до нынешнего состояния:

Можно также вспомнить отрицания Майка Пенса (который обязан Манафорту своим назначением) за неделю до инаугурации.



На Fox News пришлось задавать один и тот же вопрос три раза, прежде чем Пенс выдавил из себя ответ.

WALLACE: Can you flatly deny -- because this continues to be out there -- that there were any contact at any point in the campaign between Mr. Trump's associates and Russian operatives, including cutouts, as we know, about the hacking of the Democrats during the election?
PENCE: This -- you know, some of this derives from this opposition research memo, I guess, Chris, that made its way around the Internet. There was about 24 hours were Michael Cohen, who has worked in the Trump Organization for many years, was accused for having a meeting in Prague, and finally, some news organizations did a little checking and found out that it was a different Michael Cohen. And Michael himself has never actually been to Prague.
WALLACE: But I do want to ask you a question.
PENCE: He was at a baseball game with his son in August of last year. So --
WALLACE: I understand that. But there’s been other talk, and in fact, if I may, senators specifically asked FBI Director Comey about that. He refused to answer.
So, I’m asking a direct question: was there any contact in any way between Trump or his associates and the Kremlin or cutouts they had?
PENCE: I joined this campaign in the summer, and I can tell you that all the contact by the Trump campaign and associates was with the American people. We were fully engaged with taking his message to make America great again all across this country. That’s why he won in a landslide election.
(CROSSTALK)
WALLACE: -- if there were any contacts, sir, I’m just trying to get an answer.
PENCE: Yes. I -- of course not. Why would there be any contacts between the campaign?
Chris, the -- this is all a distraction, and it's all part of a narrative to delegitimize the election and to question the legitimacy of this presidency, the American people see right through it.

На CBS Пенс пришел уже лучше подготовленным и ответил без промедления.

JOHN DICKERSON: Just to button up one question, did any advisor or anybody in the Trump campaign have any contact with the Russians who were trying to meddle in the election?
MIKE PENCE: Of course not. And I think to suggest that is to give credence to some of these bizarre rumors that have swirled around the candidacy.
