      So Rudy's admitting that Mueller has enough to name Trump as unindicted co-conspirator? Glad he has cleared that up.https://twitter.com/ryanstruyk/status/1000741954337083393 …

      Giuliani on Mueller attacks: "It is for public opinion, because eventually the decision here is going to be impeach, not impeach. Members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, are going to be informed a lot by their constituents. So our jury... is the American people."

      You're treating it as if it would ever be a transparent observation. It's obviously not. I'm pointing to the logic he has to use to get there.

      the logic he uses to get there is "it's a nefarious deep state plot. witch hunt!"

      I get that. The whole rigged thing. But he is also saying that the rigged end point of this investigation is impeachment.

      yes, of course he says that. that's the messaging. crooked deep state is trying to get president removed from office based on a "hoax."

      what giuliani says has nothing to do with the reality of the investigation.

      It does, insofar as marginally more competent lawyers believed that they could win on the facts. That Emmet Flood is cool with this strategy is, itself, telling. He didn't use it w/Cheney, who was quite guilty.

          for trump, his republican allies and his base, this isn't about facts, it's all about feels. and that's what the messaging targets.

          Which is BY DEFINITION an admission this will go to a political venue for resolution -- that is, impeachment.

          If trump & giuliani were confident the facts and law were on their side, they wouldnt be talking about public opinion and impeachment.

          If Flood thought Trump could win by winning in court or w/Exec tactics, he wouldn't have come on with this strategy already in motion.

          this whole argument about "winning in court" is absurd because trump will not end up in court. doj's position is that sitting president cannot be indicted and mueller is bound by that policy.

          Oh. 1) SOL even on some of Trump's known actions (say, 12/29/16 deferral of sanctions) runs out 5 years later, so in that case 12/29/21. 2) Trump's testimony will affect aides (POTUS and VPOTUS was crucial, eg, in Libby case), who will end up in court.

          3) Naming Trump a co-conspirator may lead him to end up in court, via any of several means.
