Rudy Giuliani: Robert Mueller's Trying To Frame Trump & Comey's A 'Villain' | The 11th Hour | MSNBC In a recent episode of The 11th Hour on MSNBC, Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York and currently one of Donald Trump's attorneys, intensified his attacks against Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. During an investment conference in Israel, Giuliani accused Mueller's team—a group he described as "13 highly partisan Democrats"—of attempting to frame the president. Giuliani's comments reflect a strategy to undermine the credibility of the investigation, claiming that it is motivated by partisan interests rather than a pursuit of justice. He further criticized former FBI Director James Comey, labeling him the "real villain" behind the investigation and suggesting that Mueller should exert more control over his team. Key points from the discussion included:
- Giuliani's assertion that Mueller lacks the discipline to manage his team, which he believes is conducting unnecessary investigations.
- Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s rebuttal of Trump’s claims about the FBI planting a spy in the Trump campaign, supporting that the Bureau acted appropriately.
- An overview of recent clemency actions by President Trump, including commuting the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, highlighting a shift in approach to nonviolent drug offenses—a point of contention given his Attorney General's stance on strict sentencing.
