When they keep saying over and over on live TV that they did the crime. Believe them! They did the crime! Why won't anyone believe them????In an interview with The New Yorker, Giuliani admitted that he got former American ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch fired so that he could more easily pursue his efforts to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.

In a long conversation with me this past November, Giuliani largely confirmed Lutsenkos account of their relationship. He, too, saw Yovanovitch as an obstacle, hindering his attempt to dig up dirt against his clients rival in advance of the 2020 election. I believed that I needed Yovanovitch out of the way, he said. She was going to make the investigations difficult for everybody. Giuliani compiled a dossier on the Bidens and Yovanovitch, which he sent to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and which was shared with the F.B.I. and with me. John Solomon, a journalist, had interviewed Lutsenko for the Washington-based publication The Hill. Giuliani promoted the project. I said, John, lets make this as prominent as possible, Giuliani told me. Ill go on TV. You go on TV. You do columns.

Do not forget,Rudy spent millions on a Presidential Campaign and only received ONE delegate to that years RNC convention. Biden has old Rudy's number big time.

(14,716 posts)Barr isnt going to charge him. He doesnt need a pardon as long as barr declines to indict.
Barr may not yet be able to charge people without cause, but as long as he has declination power rudy is safe.

(58,785 posts)This went on for some months. The first articles you can find on it were published I believe last February, and maybe March or April? Forget, but they just sat there like unexploded IUDs until the whistleblower blasted this crime open much later.
Also, between Giuliani and Trump, who knows just what those whackjobs who couldn't be honest and dependable if their lives depended on it knew the other was doing at any particular point?

It seems a question that remains is: How much did Trump know about it? Was Rudy on his own?
