Rudy Giuliani Just Made a Questionable Accusation Against Robert Mueller on Twitter, and People Are Dragging Him Hard

Huh?

President Donald Trump's TV lawyer Rudy Giuliani complained Friday afternoon that Special Counsel Robert Mueller chose to take legal action just as Trump is flying out of the country, suggesting that the timing was deliberate.

"Mueller filed an indictment just as the President left for G20," wrote Giuliani. "In July he indicted the Russians who will never come here just before he left for Helsinki. Either could have been done earlier or later. Out of control! Supervision please?"


Further, Giuliani suggested that the indictments of Russian nationals filed in July are beyond Mueller's purview.

They are not.

Mueller is authorized to investigate "any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated" with Trump's presidential campaign as well as "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation."

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein also empowered Mueller to probe "any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a)," which includes instances of perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses.

Giuliani was either lying or confused. Neither is good.

Giuliani did not get the response he was expecting on Twitter because hardly anybody takes the former New York City mayor seriously.

Mueller did not file any indictments before or after Trump departed for the G20 summit in Argentina on Thursday. Giuliani is confusing correlation with causation (except neither of these applies because there were no new indictments).

Rather, Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress and investigators about a deal to erect Trump's dream skyscraper in Moscow, throwing Trump world into panic mode.

This was going on in secret during the 2016 presidential election.

There does not appear to be a cogent legal strategy inside the Trump legal camp.

Ouch.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

Sasha Obama was born in June 2001, nearly eight years before the family moved into the White House at the start of her father's first term in January 2009. She and her older sister, Malia, now 26, spent their formative years in the presidential residence, growing up there throughout their father’s two terms, until the family departed in 2017.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
