He’s a dirty liar but he was telling the truth that one time when it made Trump look good

Rudy Giuliani: “(President Trump) had conversations with Michael Cohen, but it was Michael Cohen driving the project … Do not think that just because he’s pleaded guilty to something that Michael Cohen’s telling the truth” pic.twitter.com/jk4LOiX9OD— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) January 20, 2019
Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s personal attorney, acknowledged during an appearance on CNN on Sunday that it’s possible the president spoke with Michael Cohen prior to Cohen’s congressional testimony, but questioned why it matters.
“I don’t know if it happened or didn’t happen,” Giuliani told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “And it might be attorney-client privilege if it happened where I can’t acknowledge it. But I have no knowledge that he spoke to him. But I’m telling you, I wasn’t there then.”

“I don’t know if it happened or if it didn’t happen. … I have no knowledge if he spoke to him,” Giuliani says on whether President Trump and Michael Cohen discussed Cohen’s congressional testimony, before adding, “So what if he talked to him about it?” #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/11V2SDsmMg
Pressed again as to whether or not the president might have had a conversation with Cohen about his testimony, Giuliani said: “And so what if he talked to him about it?”
Gosh, that doesn’t seem very good, does it? But this certainly is convincing:
Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s attorney, said Sunday he is “100 percent certain” that Trump never asked Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.
Speaking about the president to Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Giuliani said “to answer your question, categorically, I can tell you his counsel to Michael Cohen throughout that entire period was: ‘Tell the truth.’ We thought he was telling the truth. I still believe he may have been telling the truth when he testified before Congress.“
If there’s one thing we know about the president it’s that he is a stickler for the truth. And MJichel Cohen is a dirty liar and you can’t believe a word he said but he told the truth this one time.
