      2. Stephanopoulos rightly raises issue of whether taking Iraq's oil was legal but lets Giuliani say, falsely, that under war it's okay

      3. Giuliani also goes on to say that what Trump meant was USA would control oil & distribute equitably among Iraqis. That's a lie.

      4. Contra Giuliani's false gloss, Trump has repeatedly said he'd want to take Iraqi oil & use money to enrich USA.

          When hitting Rudy with birtherism, you saw Matthews do preemptive research. Stephanopoulos should have done the same.

          5. Giuliani is doing something common to Trump supporters: taking an outrageous Trump statement & reinterpreting it to something reasonable

          6. The problem isn't Giuliani though (surrogates gotta surrogate). The problem is Stephanopoulos, who let Giuliani get away with it.

          .@HeerJeet Notwithstanding the legal issues, it's almost certainly cheaper to buy oil than to steal it, once military costs are factored in.
