    There are a lot of reasons why Rudy is lying about whether Manafort flipped on Trump: 1) To sustain lie there was no collusion 2) To keep as many other witnesses inside DPA 3) To keep GOPers believing Trump will help, not hurt, in November

        Giuliani's only remaining defense is that the 5 people that pleaded guilty to crimes were already criminals before they were asked to join the campaign. Pure coincidence

        We know the game now: deny until it becomes completely untenable to do so, then flip to "No big deal / everyone does it / whataboutism" - with occasional relapses into outright denial when it appears politically or legally convenient

        I’m all in favor of #3. Maybe Giuliani will get on Fox News and assure Trump’s base voters that there will be a red wave. That would be awesome.

        Manafort isn't even being investigated for the election and Tony Podesta is implicated in this case. How in the fuck does this have anything to do with Trump?https://www.politico.com/story/2018/09/14/manafort-ukraine-obama-biden-824747 …

        Just part of what Mueller had that caused PM to flip. Wtf it has to do with trump.....PM was at the meeting at trump Tower and took notes. Also offered Deripaska briefings on the campaign he headed for no pay. trump wants to remove sanctions from company w ties to Deripaska.

        I was delighted Trump was handpicking fringe candidates in the GOP primaries. They will be much easier to defeat in mass this November.

        Indeed. Which are all good reasons that no self-respecting reporter should be talking to him on background, and we should be calling out his bullshit each time somehow grants him the platform to spout it.

        1 and 3 are easy because the base won't read the plea deal nor believe anyone who explains its contents to them, but I still don't see how it's a good strategy for the 2nd aim since I assume the lawyers of the other DPA witnesses will smarten them up that Rudy's lying.
