WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)āThe independent counsel, Robert Mueller, told reporters that, prior to news reports on Thursday, he had āalmost forgottenā to investigate the former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani.
āLike most Americans, I had totally forgotten about Rudy Giulianiās existence,ā he said. āBut then when he popped up on the news I was, like, āHold onāshouldnāt we be investigating him?ā ā
Mueller was at a loss to explain why he had failed to investigate Giuliani earlier. āI have no idea how it could have slipped my mind,ā he said. āHis role in Trumpās campaign was as fishy as all get-out.ā
He said that other members of his team were āpoking funā at him for not deciding to investigate Giuliani before Thursday. āI mean, think about it: how do you do a criminal investigation of the Trump campaign and leave Rudy out of it?ā he said. āIāve got to say, Iām pretty darn embarrassed about the whole thing.ā
When asked for an estimate of when the Russia inquiry might wrap up, Mueller responded, āI honestly canāt say. I was hoping to bring it to a close in the next month or two, but now that weāre also investigating Rudy Giuliani, God only knows how long itāll take.ā
