While I wouldn't put a lot of faith in any of Giuliani's statements as he's always happy to muddy..

(537 posts)2. Maybe Giuliani is lying
Maybe he wants it to appear like he and Trump got Mueller to break the long-standing silence from SCO.
A demonstration of their *power*.
Or, maybe it's true, and he wants to take the credit.

the waters, Trump's legal team calling the special counsel in these circumstances would have been them doing their job. A newspaper article asserts a very serious charge about their client, making such a charge public for the first time, and then attributes the information to the special counsel's office. Assuming that they were unaware that this was coming, why would anyone be surprised that they called the prosecutors to find out what was going on?
