Rudy Giuliani: Special counsels ‘think they are God’

Published December 2, 2018 2:45pm ET



Days after Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer, pleaded guilty last week to lying to Congress as part of the federal Russia investigation, Rudy Giuliani accused special counsels like Robert Mueller of prosecuting “people at any cost.”

They seem to want to [prosecute] people at any cost, including the cost of ethical behavior or the rights of people. And because 70 to 80 percent of the mainstream media is biased, they let them get away with it.”
