So What, if We Colluded with a hostile Power?
Giuliani’s New Stance On Russian Collusion: So What? It’s Not Illegal.
WASHINGTON ― His client insists there was “NO COLLUSION” with Russia to win the presidency, but Donald Trump’s lead lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has a new theory of the case: What’s the big deal if he did?
In a recent interview with HuffPost, Giuliani initially disputed the notion that Trump’s daily citing, in the final month of his campaign, of Russian-aligned WikiLeaks and its release of Russian-stolen emails constituted “colluding” with Russia.
“It is not,” Giuliani said.
Then he switched tacks.
“OK, and if it is, it isn’t illegal... It was sort of like a gift,” he said. “And you’re not involved in the illegality of getting it.”
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Oh, boy, I'm betting there are plenty of lawmakers squirming about this. And, we thought Trump was off-the-rails.

With a defense lawyer like this, you don't need a prosecutor !

Re: So What, if We Colluded with a hostile Power?
Clearly the Trumpers are mounting an 'extra-legal' legal defense.
They cannot win if this ever sees the inside of a courtroom. So, the strategy is to demean the DOJ, Mueller, and the law.

Re: So What, if We Colluded with a hostile Power?
Giuliani is just happy to bein the forefront of the news, and (thus far) Trump is happy to have wackadoo Rudy out there taking the heat off his tweets.
If history is any indication of future actions, at some point Rudy will say something even stupider than Trump’s concocted stories about “Spygate” and the mutual admiration duet will crash and burn.
