Rudy Giuliani has resumed pushing Ukraine to investigate President Trumps domestic political rivals, with a new round of talks hes admitted were coordinated through the State Department.
Rudy Giuliani confirmed to The New York Times and CNN Wednesday that hed spoken multiple times in recent weeks, including in an in-person Madrid meeting, to an aide to the Ukrainian president about investigations that would help Trump and hurt Democrats in 2020.
Giuliani insisted to CNN that everything was aboveboard and that he wouldnt do an unethical thing in my life. The aide, Andriy Yermak, told the Times that Giuliani was very interested in the new administration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky openly investigating all these cases.
But the pairs conversations, Giuliani told CNN, focused on a smeary allegation from the Trump camp against Joe Biden that Giuliani has said in the past will be very, very helpful to my client.

This Shocking Abuse of Office Continues
Rudy's the Bagman for the 2020 Collusion
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/this-shocking-abuse-of-office-continues
If youre still worried about the collusion described in the Mueller Report forgot about that because it probably means youre not focused enough on how President Trumps top advisors are already, more or less openly, trying to muscle Ukraine into targeting Trumps political enemies in the US to throw the 2020 election in Trumps favor.
I really cannot overstate how important this is.
As you know, Ukraine remains highly dependent on the United States, diplomatically, economically and even militarily, at least in the sense of arms sales. Russia continues a de facto occupation/insurgency in the countrys east. Crimea has already been annexed by the Russian Federation. The government of Ukraine is in little position to say no to anything the US government asks for.
Theres already substantial evidence that Trump used his leverage to get the Ukraine government to end its cooperation with the Mueller probe in 2018. Theres really little question this happened.

(19,024 posts)1. This is craziness
Giuliani is repeating Breitbart stories that Biden threatened the Ukrainian President into firing a prosecutor who was looking into a company Hunter Biden had something to do with.
Thats where Trumps camp is taking this. They will try to make this about Hunter Biden.

And the F'ing deeply corrupt Attorney General Bill Barr is trying to COVER IT UP.
edit... Collusion 2, I mean. We already knew he is covering up collusion 1.

LOL. I get that youre going to deny you did anything wrong, Rudy, but dont try to give me a tour of Bullshit Mountain.
