NEW: Giuliani keeps doing untold damage to U.S. interests abroad—and his efforts with Trump to pressure Ukraine to investigate Biden may be one of the most impeachable offenses yet. thedailybeast.com/rudy-giuliani-…
‘Trump in a July phone call repeatedly pressured the president of Ukraine to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son, urging Volodymyr Zelensky about eight times to work with Rudy Giuliani, his personal lawyer, on a probe’ wsj.com/articles/trump…
How many Democrats flip to the pro-impeachment camp because of this? Does Pelosi?
Buried lede: Trump pressured Zelenskyy to work with Giuliani on the Biden family investigation *eight times*, and Zelenskyy... still didn’t!
(“Master Negotiator,” Art of the Deal, etc.)
‘If the accounts we've heard are accurate, Mr. Trump is guilty of a gross abuse of his office.’ washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…
One other add: The DOJ still hasn’t responded to numerous q’s from Congress about why Giuliani isn’t registered with FARA for his work in Ukraine (and elsewhere). thinkprogress.org/why-isnt-rudy-…
This time last year, Giuliani was speaking alongside a sanctioned Russian official, and pushing for increased ties with the Eurasian Union. thinkprogress.org/rudy-giuliani-…
‘Giuliani said he has kept the president informed of his efforts in Ukraine for months. But he declined to say specifically what he has told the president.’ washingtonpost.com/politics/how-t…
‘Mr. Trump was not sympathetic. “They’re terrible people,” he said of Ukrainian politicians, according to people familiar with the meeting with the officials who had just returned from Kiev. “They’re all corrupt and they tried to take me down.”’ nytimes.com/2019/09/20/us/…
‘At the time Biden made his ultimatum, the probe into the company -- Burisma Holdings, owned by Mykola Zlochevsky -- had been long dormant’ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
One other irony: Giuliani spent time last year effectively working on behalf of one of the most crooked politicians in Romania... all while trying to get Romania to slow down its anti-corruption investigations! politico.eu/article/rudy-g…
‘Giuliani, the mouthpiece of [Trump’s 2020] campaign, is not only attempting to rehabilitate Manafort but is also working to undermine U.S. relations with Ukraine, which has been confronting Russian aggression on its own for more than five years.‘ washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
There’s a very real argument that Rudy Giuliani has done more damage to U.S. interests in Eastern Europe than any American (this side of Paul Manafort) over the past decade—if not longer.
‘“The reality is, the more the Democrats press for an investigation of what I did in the Ukraine, I invite it,” Giuliani said. “I’m just doing my job as a poor, simple, little defense lawyer who’s defending his client.”’ washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
And here comes Donald Trump Jr., spinning the same lies:
