How hard will rival Democrats go on Joe Biden and Ukraine at tonight’s debate? Clear from the flurry of defensive moves from Biden camp in last few days that they are anticipating a grilling. Tricky line to tread for his competitors.
In last half a week Hunter Biden has stepped down from a Chinese company’s board + admitted “poor judgement” over Ukraine role (while saying no wrongdoing).

Biden himself has said no family member will have a business relationship with a foreign firm if he becomes president.
Biden camp has been trying to turn Ukraine attacks into a strength - ‘Trump trying to take out the candidate he most fears’ type stuff.

But danger is elevation of the saga helps Trump frame Biden as a Washington insider. (Trump rally recently featured “lock him up” chants.)

Spent some time in Oklahoma to see how Dems are selling impeachment in Trumpy areas. In short, with difficulty.
telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/10/1…
Included going to a voter meet+greet by @RepKendraHorn, one of the few Dems in House not openly backing impeachment inquiry.

She flipped a red seat in 2018 midterms which Trump won by 13-points in 2016. Now faces an uphill task to hold on to it in 2020.
@RepKendraHorn One lifelong Democrat, 66, who attended meeting was dead against impeachment. Very critical of Dem leadership in Washington.

"I really think it’s going to backlash. We’re going to end up with another four years of Trump, because they just can’t help themselves.”

NEW: @Telegraph interviewed Rudy Giuliani yesterday after his turbulent week in the spotlight.

He told me he never discussed military aid with Trump and declined to express regret over relationship with Parnas / Fruman.

A few quotes tweeted below...
telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/10/1…
I asked Giuliani if he regrets the close relationship with his two associates arrested fleeing the country this week.

“I am very, very proud of the fact that I uncovered major corruption at the highest level of government...”

When pushed again - “I repeat my statement.”
After multiple questions Giuliani eventually denied ever talking to Trump about keeping back military aid to Ukraine.

“I never discussed military assistance with the president,” he said. That stance would likely be probed if he appears before the impeachment inquiry.

As @RitaKonaev notes, "Mattis had no problem disagreeing w/Obama about transgender people in the military or women in combat but won’t criticize Trump for asking foreign powers for dirt about political opponents.

This isn’t about him being above politics. This is his politics."
Excellent point here, and makes you wonder why Mattis' deference to the commander-in-chief is selectively applied in this manner 🤔
7 freshman House Ds, all with natsec experience: "If true, we believe these actions represent an impeachable offense ...

We call on our colleagues in Congress to consider the use of all congressional authorities available, including inherent contempt."

New York Times report from May on Biden, Ukraine and Burisma Holdings:

"No evidence has surfaced that the former vice president intentionally tried to help his son by pressing for the prosecutor general’s dismissal.”

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
NYT - Hunter Biden was warned by associates who had experience in Ukraine to stay away from Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma Holdings, who had worked in the government of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

nytimes.com/2019/05/01/us/…
Zlochevsky faced multiple internal/external investigations for money laundering, Yanukovych-era corruption, tax evasion and the granting of gas licenses.

It is unclear if/how seriously Ukraine’s fmr. prosecutor general Viktor Shokin investigated Burisma.
