'Kangaroo court': Giuliani says he would be crazy to let Trump be interviewed by Mueller's team

Source: The Washington Post

President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani referred to the team of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III on Tuesday night as a “kangaroo court” and suggested it would be malpractice for him to allow Trump to agree to an interview.

During an appearance on Fox News, Giuliani was asked by host Sean Hannity if he could “foresee any circumstances” under which he would allow Trump to appear before Mueller, who is investigating possible coordination between Russia and Trump’s campaign in 2016.

“Do I look crazy?” Giuliani responded. “So far, you know, I still have all my senses, and I’m a heck of a lawyer. And I get drummed out of the profession if I did. I mean, the reality is, you don’t put your client in a kangaroo court.”

His comments come as Trump’s legal team has been weighing whether to do a face-to-face interview with Mueller’s team as part of his assessment of whether Trump has obstructed the investigation.

Establishing Corrupt Intent would have been the only reason to interview Trump, but fortunately Trump took care of that for us.

The rest of the cases against Trump can be based on massive documentary evidence, flipped former associates, and Trump's public behavior.

It is not up to you when and if Trump is interviewed by Mueller and Company
