Fmr FBI: Trump, Giuliani Trying To ‘Cloud The Issues’ With Stormy Narrative | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC In recent discussions on MSNBC’s "Velshi & Ruhle", host Stephanie Ruhle and her panel examined the strategy employed by former President Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani regarding the Stormy Daniels payment, particularly the attempts to distort public understanding of ongoing legal issues.

Key Takeaways from the Discussion:​

1. Strategic Confusion: The panel posited that Giuliani and Trump are deliberately attempting to "muddy the waters" around various legal investigations. By shifting narratives and introducing uncertainty, they aim to cloud the factual basis of inquiries pertaining to campaign finance and potential wrongdoings related to the payments made to Stormy Daniels.
2. Giuliani's Role: Rudy Giuliani, once a figure of trust in criminal investigations, has taken the lead in communicating their defense strategy. Yet, some analysts suggest that his public statements may be creating more confusion than clarity, contradicting earlier claims and exacerbating the situation for the White House.
3. Public Perception and Legal Tactics: The discussion highlighted that despite the complexities of the investigations—such as those led by Robert Mueller—Trump's rhetoric of a "witch-hunt" resonates with parts of the public, which may fuel ongoing support. This tactic effectively shifts focus from the details of the inquiries to the idea of persecution.
4. Previous Comparisons: The conversation also drew parallels with previous investigations into other political figures. It was pointed out that long investigations, such as those into Benghazi and Hillary Clinton’s emails, resulted in no indictments after extensive scrutiny, contrasting sharply with the current situation faced by Trump.
5. Future Implications: The panel expressed concern over if and when Trump may be compelled to comply with legal proceedings, particularly regarding a potential subpoena, suggesting that past presidents have ultimately been held accountable despite their initial resistance. In conclusion, as the situation develops, it seems that Trump and Giuliani's strategy is not just about legal defenses but manipulating public perception and understanding of their actions. The ongoing narrative is poised to play a significant role in shaping the political landscape leading up to upcoming elections.
