Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, claims he has a safeguard in case the Trump administration throws him under a Ukrainian-sized bus.

During an interview on Thursday with CNN, Giuliani denied a whistleblower’s allegations that he had played a major role in Trump’s pressure campaign to convince Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, as well as the whistleblower complaint’s accusation that U.S. officials had spoken to Giuliani in an attempt to “contain the damage” the former mayor was inflicting on U.S.-Ukraine relations.

Giuliani claimed that “at no time” did the State Department give him such a warning, adding that he supposedly has a “nice little trail” of texts from U.S. diplomat for Ukraine Kurt Volker to back him up.

Giuliani also repeated his claim that the State Department had approved of all his communications with Ukraine–and that he had five or six more texts in his back pocket as proof.

4. Actually, he did whip them out and show people on Fux.

Morning Joe played the clip over and over. They are all blaming each other now. This is how conspiracies collapse.

3. As a private citizen and the amoral pig's private atty...

he had no official reason to be there. He went there to do Trump and his campaigns work or more to the point dirty work.
