Rudy Giuliani finds a whole new way to blow it for Donald Trump

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

When Rudy Giuliani began incoherently ranting on Twitter this morning long before the sun came up, Donald Trump probably should have taken it as a sign that Rudy wasn’t up to the task of representing him on the Sunday morning talk shows. But Trump allowed Rudy to go on CNN this morning anyway for an interview with Jake Tapper, and suffice it to say that Giuliani found a whole new way to screw things up for Trump.

Rudy Giuliani claimed on CNN this morning that Donald Trump and then-FBI Director James Comey never discussed the fate of Michael Flynn, who was under criminal investigation at the time, and who has since cut a plea deal against Trump. That’s a problem, because we all remember Rudy having gone on ABC a couple months ago and bizarrely admitting that Trump had asked Comey to “give Flynn a break.”

Tapper called Giuliani out on it, who then claimed that he “never said that” – even though video evidence clearly shows him having said it. So now Rudy has changed Donald Trump’s story on his behalf, in a manner which makes him and Trump both less credible. The week before last, Rudy screwed up and admitted that there had been a pre-planning meeting about Donald Trump Jr’s meeting with the Russians at Trump Tower, prompting Donald Trump to bench Rudy from television last weekend. But Jay Sekulow and Kellyanne Conway didn’t fare any better in his place, and so today Trump rolled the dice with Rudy, and it blew up in his face.

Rudy Giuliani started the day by demanding to know where President Obama currently lives. Then he posted the first part of a tweet and ended it with “……” but he still hasn’t finished his thought seventeen hours later. No wonder he can’t remember what he told ABC News two months ago; he clearly can’t remember what he was saying earlier today.
