Rudy Giuliani in The Mueller Report


On Principles & Values: No obstruction; Trump didn't testify to avoid perjury trap

[Giuliani commented on Trump's behavior regarding various aspects of the Mueller Report]: Had he done it, it would not have been obstruction of justice because there were very good reasons to fire Mueller. Mueller hired a staff in which he had people that I would find very questionable as people that would be investigating Donald Trump.

He demonstrated in the case of [former FBI Director James] Comey that he could fire someone and not interfere in the investigation because immediately it was taken up by someone else.

It's kind of ridiculous to go after a man for obstruction when he was falsely accused; he was defending himself. His intent in each one of these situations is easily explained as an intent to not get framed.

You know why he didn't testify before them? Because they were going to trap him into perjury like they did with Flynn. If you think I'm a fool? I would have been disbarred if I let him testify.
