Oh, they must be ******** themselves right about now.
Rick Gates (IIRC deputy head of the Trump campaign, or coffee boy depending on who you talk to) not Carter Page

NEW: Giuliani just moved the goal posts in 2 big ways on Fox & CNN :
1. He's no longer claiming Trump didn't collude with Russia. He's claiming "collusion is not a crime."
2. He's not saying Trump did not know abt 2016 Russia mtg in advance. He's saying Trump did not ATTEND it.
Oh, they must be ******** themselves right about now.
That interview clip was simply bizarre.
"The people in that meeting deny it, the people we've been able to interview. The people that we've not been able to interview have never said that about that meeting."
Ummm . . . we should be impressed by the things that weren't said by people who weren't asked?
By that standard, according to the staff at MIT (who, AFAIK, have never denied it or even discussed the subject), I have a PhD from MIT!
Read to the tune of "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly."I think the full version of Giuliani’s defense is:
Russia didn't interfere, but if they did,
Mueller's investigation was misguided and should be stopped, but if it's not,
Trump didn't know about the Russian interference, but if he did,
Trump's team didn't collaborate with the Russians, but if they did,
Trump didn't know that his team was collaborating, but if he did,
Mueller doesn't have any real evidence aside from Fake News, but if he does,
Collusion with the Russians isn't a crime, but if it is,
It didn't affect the outcome of the election, but if it did,
The democrats colluded more than the republicans, but if they didn't,
Russia was helping the USA elect the greatest, most legitimately-elected president ever, so it's totally okay and we should be thanking them rather than persecuting the most legitimately-elected president ever.
The alternate version (aka the "Trump Version") is much longer and includes the MS-13, Benghazi, CNN, the Wall, great(est) relationships with foreign leaders, the DNC's server, Hillary's emails, cheering Iranians, lots of things that "people are saying," Obamacare, unfair trade practices, and at least two instances of "I'm joking of course. But not really."
I agree with Josh this is potentially BIG admission.

My add on: Giuliani places Kushner at Russia pre-plan meeting!
That puts Kushner at risk of perjury. He testified he didn't know what June 9 meeting was about: https://www.justsecurity.org/54408/house-intel-committee-findings-contradict-kushners-testimony/ …

Giuliani and Trump really suit each other, don't they?
Seth Abramson pointed out another slip: he said Trump did not PHYSICALLY attend it. Trump could have been on speakerphone.
Anyone ever notice their body language lately?
Cute.If it's what you say, Seth, I love it, especially later in the summer.![]()
I know no other meaning for LARP. Back in the day before tabletop roleplaying gained it's current popularity, LARPers were the group that even my low-caste group of nerds could still laugh at or feel embarrassed about. Even now, I can't look at that picture without shaking my head and thinking, "Guys. C'mon. Just... just don't."
Rod Rosenstein not being a LARPer only speaks better of him, IMHO.
I'm starting to need a flow chart about who knew about what meeting, who didn't know when the meeting was, who wasn't informed about the meeting...
