Katy Tur: Rudy Giuliani ‘Not a Reliable Operator’ in the Mueller Investigation

MSNBC’s Katy Tur has had it up to here with the back and forth between Robert Mueller‘s team and President Donald Trump‘s team by way of Rudy Giuliani.

“You and I are reading the tea leaves every day as it relates to this strategy from the president’s legal team,” Kristen Welker said to Tur. “What do you make of what we saw over the weekend?”

“Listen, I know Rudy Giuliani is the president’s lawyer but I have a hard time taking anything he says seriously ’cause he’s contradicted himself so many times,” Tur began.

“It seems like he’s making up these deadlines,” she continued. “I know he’s saying Robert Mueller said this will be wrapped up by September 1st. I would be surprised if that’s actually what will happen. He’s said that he’s going to give Robert Mueller an answer for a meeting, and the meeting will be on and a meeting will be off and a meeting will be on and a meeting will be off.”

“Rudy Giuliani is not a reliable operator when it comes to what’s happening in the Mueller investigation,” she added. “He’s obviously trying to prop up the president who himself contradicts himself all the time then has problems staying on one message. You can see that with the Don Jr. statement, for instance.”

“But this is, come on, Kristen,” Tur concluded, exasperated. “I’m getting a little tired of it. Just subpoena the president or I don’t know. Submit for an interview. Let’s just get it on the record.”
