Trump-Supporting Lawyers diGenova & Toensing Teamed Up With Giuliani to Dig Up Ukraine Dirt on Biden

From the Daily Beast, minutes ago:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/joe-digenova-and-victoria-toensing-worked-with-rudy-giuliani-to-dig-up-ukraine-dirt-on-joe-biden-report


In a bombshell report Sunday morning, Fox News reported that two frequent guests on the right-leaning cable news channel were “working off the books” to help former New York City mayor and current presidential attorney Rudy Giuliani dig up dirt on President Donald Trump’s leading Democratic opponent—and that the only person who knew about their involvement was the president himself.

Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace broke the news that Giuliani wasn’t acting alone when it came to digging up Ukrainian dirt on Trump’s potential 2020 presidential opponent Joe Biden.

“Two high-profile Washington lawyers, Joe diGenova, who’s been a fierce critic of the Democratic investigation, and his wife Victoria Toensing were working with Giuliani to get oppo research on Biden,” Wallace said at the top of his broadcast.

“According to a top U.S. official, all three were working off the books apart from the administration,” Wallace added. “The only person in government who knows what they were doing is President Trump.”

Giuliani has denied working with any other attorneys in his quest for Ukrainian-provided information on the Biden family in recent appearances on Fox News, denials that the network’s own reporting now call into question.

”Barr needs to be asked if Joe diGenova & (his wife) Victoria Toensing
have been used as cut-outs for any actions / conversations. Both JD &
VT remain ardent defenders of Rudy / Trump / Barr on Fox. They're
involved w/ Rudy's Ukraine work & frequently peddle "Deep State" nonsense.”


”If you think the Attorney General and "America's Mayor" are above using
cut-outs to hide their (potentially criminal) activity, I'd ask you to wake up
so I can welcome you to the 2019 the rest of us are living in.”





dis gettin gud!!

Also, FYI, they were just hired by sanctioned Manafort pal Dmitry Firtash to be his attorneys

How ridiculous to have these wannabe teevee attorneys representing the same profession. Why don't they disbar these clowns?

The dump administration can only find the best of the vermin to help run his mob operation.
