[Giuliani]: "2 hour recording of Chris Cuomo that we now have"... "he did that at least 4 other times" ... "I didn't know he'll mislead DOZENS OF REPORTERS and tape them all over the place."
2. On 10/25/16, Giuliani went on TV and said "We've got a couple of surprises left." This America's Mayor is very crafty and very well informed. We should not underestimate the weight behind his hints!

3. Everyone who comes on a Sunday show has an agenda. What was Giuliani's agenda? We know he was not especially interested talking about the Mueller interview or foreign policy or economic growth but he was eager to talk about Cohen.
4. The last question was about Trump Org CEO subpoena that had nothing to do with the tapes. After a brief answer, Giuliani then UNPROMPTED, returns to the topic of the tapes because he had only had 1 min left in the segment.
5. Therefore, that was an important prepared talking point he wanted to get across rather than something that randomly came up. Here's what he said:
6. "I should finish that discussion of the tape. There are then an untold number of other tapes that have no relationship to us. I don't know what's on those. [Because they didn't give them to us]. There's a lot there for them to investigate."
7. Perhaps prosecute those dozens of misled reporters? But for what? Given the first amendment, reporters are hard to prosecute but mishandling classified information is one example.
8. The courts have found that reporters who are trying to stop wrong-doing are protected but simply opposing Trump's policy is not a defense from mishandling classified information.
9. There may be a nexus between James Wolfe indictment/leak hunting and Cohen tapes.
10. Trump wants public opinion to sour on Mueller's Witch Hunt and/or MSN Fake News media. Strzok texts have done damage. Cohen's tapes could be another spear to that end. /end
@themarketswork @TheLastRefuge2 my take, thread on Giuliani/Cohen tapes. Perhaps tapes suggest what other ZoeBarnes-AliWatkins out there possess classified info they got leaked for political purposes.
