Giuliani: Trump Could Still Be President If Imprisoned

NEW YORK (TheSkunk.org) — Rudy Giuliani today told FOX News there is no reason President Trump would have to give up his presidency while serving time in prison. “There’s nothing in the law, as far as I know, that prevents a sitting president from doing his job while incarcerated,” said Giuliani.

The interview comes on the heels of the latest contradictory statements from the former New York mayor, first claiming that a sitting president cannot be indicted, and then backing off that statement. “Well, if he is indicted, convicted and sentenced to any number of years in a federal corrections facility, that doesn’t mean he can’t be president. People who believe that just don’t understand the law the way I do.”

“I’ve seen these prisons,” continued Giuliani, as his eyes widened, revealing the complete circles of his tiny brown irises surrounded by a sea of red-speckled white. “They usually have a little metal desk in the cells, and that’s really all this president needs, because he does most of his work in his head.”

Giuliani then explained he is no longer negotiating with special counsel Robert Mueller over the specifics of Trump’s testimony, but on whether, and how long, his client may be subjected to solitary confinement.
