Giuliani says Trump still supports his dirt-digging in Ukraine

THE VERY THING TRUMP IS BEING IMPEACHED FOR.


Washington (CNN) - Rudy Giuliani told CNN that President Donald Trump has been "very supportive" of his continued efforts to dig up dirt on Democrats in Ukraine, including his most recent trip to the Eastern European country.

The admission bolsters a central Democratic argument of the impeachment proceedings: that the President has allowed his personal attorney to push Ukraine for investigations that benefit Trump's political agenda.

In a phone conversation with CNN on Tuesday, Giuliani suggested that Trump has been well aware of everything he has done in Ukraine, though he declined to say if Trump directed him to go on his most recent trip there.

"We're on the same page," Giuliani said of Trump.

McConnell will NEVER do the right thing.

The ONLY way we are saved is if 20 GOP senators decide country is more important than their affiliation with rump and putin.

They wont.

The election is going to be rigged, rump is NOT leaving the WH. We better FUCKING get that in our heads NOW!

Watching the GREAT PATRIOT and more of a Man than ALL republicans alive combined, Adam Schiff, love him... But his efforts are all going to be for naught. Not because he and Nadler arent great, they are, but the other side NO LONGER ACKNOWLEDGES laws.

The GOP/Trumpster Senate has come out, in the form of Yertle the Turtle, and said that they will be an arm of the Trump administration and will collaborate fully with them. Rudy knows he's "safe" so he spews this shit to throw it right in our faces.

5. Giuliani is screaming "Wolf!" and the press is mostly ignoring it.

He is saying that he and his Boss have been doing everything they have been accused of doing. Yeah, get over it!

Yes, they accused Yovanovitch of being "corrupt". She was accused of blocking their "investigations".

What were they investigating? They were looking for someone to create a rumor about Mr Trump's major political rival.

They never stopped. They continue. As if it is all straight and legal.

7. Trying to pass off the Ukraine crime as nothing objectionable

I’m guessing that’s what Rudy is up to, trying to equate his actions now with Trump’s quid pro quo/blackmail.

On another note, I can’t start a thread because I haven’t posted enough. Could someone start one to help with sign ideas for the Impeachment rallies at 5:30 today? Other than “No one is above the law”, I can’t think of anything. I would appreciate ideas based on the proceedings, not on all his other objectionable words and deeds.

He's got Ukrainian and Russian stooges helping him.

Openly bragging about doing the very thing Trump tried and failed to get Zelinsky to do.
