Rudy Says He’ll Only Testify If They Remove Schiff From Intel Chair

Is President Trump‘s personal lawyer really in a position to call the shots?

Either way, Rudy will be Rudy.

“The position I’m stating is now the position of the administration,” Rudy Giuliani said in an interview with Washington Post White House correspondent Josh Dawsey.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes thinks this is insane.

“HE IS NOT A PART OF THE ADMINISTRATION,” the liberal journalist tweeted Tuesday afternoon.

Giuliani said the administration has written a letter saying the House Intelligence Committee, chaired by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), is illegitimate.

“I wouldn’t testify in front of that committee until there is a vote of Congress and he [Schiff] is removed,” Giuliani said.

The former New York Mayor, who was previously a one-trick pony with the September 11 terrorist attacks, baited the Democrats into holding him in contempt.

“Let them hold me in contempt,” he said. “We’ll challenge the contempt.”

Giuliani said the whole thing is crazy.

“We are now hearing if the whistleblower testifies, Congress will put them ‘behind a screen’ and distort their voice. This is ludicrous! How hellbent are Dems in keeping the American public in the dark? #Kangaroo Court,” he tweeted Tuesday afternoon.  

But maybe he’s the one who may be a little cuckoo?

“It’s really hard to keep up with whatever is going on with Rudy and what he’s saying, so I don’t know if I have any deep thoughts to offer,” said Liz Mair, a D.C. communications strategist. “I will just say it’s notable now living in the environs of New York City, a lot of his former friends and allies seem quite worried about him.”

Giuliani even brought up the Salem witch trials from the late 1600’s. Some 200 people were accused of using witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts. Those who were found guilty met an untimely death by hanging.

“Even Salem witch trials didn’t use anonymous testimony,” he wrote. “The accused had to be confronted by a witness willing to put their name and reputation behind the charges and then had to be available for cross examination.” (RELATED: A Level Of Pants-Shi**ing Rarely Seen On TV)

There’s lots of witchiness in this administration. Trump has repeatedly called the Mueller Report and the Democrats’ wrath against him a “witch hunt.”

Giuliani also blasted The Washington Post for its reportage.

“The corrupt WP is tirelessly working on stories to discredit me,” Giuliani snapped on Twitter. “Stooping so low as to actually ask me about my pending divorce, to see if it affects my work. It doesn’t. Meanwhile, they don’t hold [Joe] Biden accountable to answer questions about 4 decades of selling public office.”

Giuliani also kicked CNN in the shins despite frequently appearing on the network.

“The Swamp Media is going back 20 years to find anything I could have done which they can paint as “wrong”. One outlet just falsely asserted I was proposing a deal in Ukraine earlier this year. Meanwhile the Biden Family gets a pass. See why they’re the Corrupt News Networks?” he tweeted Monday. (RELATED: Cuomo Interview With Giuliani Quickly Spirals Out of Control)

In a recent interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, Giuliani repeatedly accused the host of being a biased journalist.

The president’s lawyer isn’t boring and rarely refrains from drama, two characteristics that likely make him a fan favorite in Trump’s eyes.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
