The guy’s a lawyer for goodness sake!…..
President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Sunday claimed “truth isn’t truth” when trying to explain why the president should not testify for special counsel Robert Mueller for fear of being trapped into a lie that could lead to a perjury charge.
“When you tell me that, you know, he should testify because he’s going to tell the truth and he shouldn’t worry, well that’s so silly because it’s somebody’s version of the truth. Not the truth,” Giuliani told Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday morning
“Truth is truth,” Todd responded.
“No, no, it isn’t truth,” Giuliani said. “Truth isn’t truth. The President of the United States says, “I didn’t …”
A startled Todd answered: “Truth isn’t truth?”
Giuliani: “No, no, no.”
Todd said: “This is going to become a bad meme.“….
Giuliani‘s remark was not the first time he has gone down this road.
Last week on CNN, he rejected Chris Cuomo’s assertion that “facts are not in the eye of the beholder.”
“Yes, they are,” Giuliani said. “Nowadays they are.”
In May, the former New York mayor pursued a similar line of thought in an interview with The Washington Post about the Mueller investigation: “They may have a different version of the truth than we do.”

Being a lawyer has nothing to do with it,the real question is does he “strongly”believe that definition or does he “somewhat “ believe it?
Lots of “grays” here

Seems Rudy realized what he said to Chuck Todd was stupid and now wants to clarify his comment….
…
“My statement was not meant as a pontification on moral theology but one referring to the situation where two people make precisely contradictory statements, the classic ‘he said,she said’ puzzle. Sometimes further inquiry can reveal the truth other times it doesn’t,” Giuliani wrote on Twitter…..
