President Donald Trumps lawyer Rudy Giuliani said on Thursday he doubted the veracity of a bombshell NBC News report from earlier in the day that federal authorities wiretapped the presidents longtime counsel, Michael Cohen.
Us lawyers have talked about it, we dont believe its true, Giuliani told The Daily Beast. We think its going to turn out to be untrue because it would be totally illegal. You cant wiretap a lawyer, you certainly cant wiretap his client whos not involved in the investigation. No one has suggested that Trump was involved in that investigation. So theyre going to wiretap the lawyer, his client, and his client the president of the United States? I dont think so, not if they want to stay out of jail. Disclosing a wiretap is a federal felony. I never took em home when I was a U.S. attorney.
Giuliani said that he found out about the wiretap news from NBC News report, which cited two people with knowledge of the legal proceedings, and not from Cohen himself. He believed someone in the Justice Department was behind the leak.

Once again accusing the Justice Dept. of leaking, just like the "questions".
Was it also NBC that broke the "Mueller Questions" story?
If this turns out to be b.s., someone at NBC is working for the coup.

"Noun, Verb 9/11" never had a fucking chance against a guy who grabbed racists by their fucking pussies!
