Mueller's unethical tactics

Newsmax:
Calling out special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into 2016 election meddling, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Sunday that its high-pressure tactics are "unethical and destructive" and risking "tainted testimony."

"They want [Paul Manafort] to give certain forms of evidence that would implicate the president in things that Mr. Manafort says are untrue," Giuliani told "The Cats Roundtable" on 970 AM-N.Y. "And at some point, after you do this four, five, six times, you've got to accept the fact that Mr. Manafort maybe doesn't have the recollection they like. And they are pressuring him, and creating a real risk that the man might commit perjury.

"After awhile, this kind of pressure can create the risk of tainted testimony."

Giuliani told host John Catsimatidis that Mueller's investigation has stepped over the line now with the way he's intimidating people in order to tell what he believes his version of the truth is, and Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign manager is "being treated like he's a terrorist."

"After all, he is just saying what everybody else has said: There's no evidence that the president was involved in any kind of collusion about the election," Giuliani told Catsimatidis.

". . . You can only exert a certain amount of pressure before it becomes unethical and destructive."
...
Mueller's MO has been to charge people with unrelated crims in order to extort testimony out of them against the President.  He has so far been unsuccessful.  Mueller's tactics and those of his team have been more like something you would expect from mobsters than professional prosecutors.
