Politico is reporting that Democrats working on building a case for impeaching Trump is now zeroing in on Rudy Giuliani:


10/18/2019

Democrats building a case for impeachment are working to prove that when it came to pressuring Ukraine to investigate Democrats, Rudy Giuliani was Donald Trump's brain.

"Rudy Giuliani is Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is Rudy Giuliani," said Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee.

After a week of depositions from key figures in the impeachment inquiry, Democrats are coalescing around a push to prove that Trump committed impeachable offenses at least partly by showing that Trump had intimate knowledge of and directed Giuliani's plans, goals and tactics.

Buttressing their strategy is a modest but intensifying public outcry among Republicans over Giuliani's shadow diplomacy , in which the former New York City mayor sought to pressure Ukrainian officials to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and revive a debunked conspiracy theory about the 2016 election.

And it's not just Democrats like Swalwell who represent safe liberal districts. Rep. Harley Rouda (D-Calif.), a moderate freshman whose Orange County seat Republicans are targeting, said it is clear that Trump had a deep understanding of the details of Giuliani's Ukraine crusade.

"I'm pretty sure they're not just talking about the weather and their golf games," Rouda quipped in a brief interview, referencing the pair's frequent meetings and phone calls. "Especially when it's also very clear from the evidence that President Trump directed members of the State Department to work directly with Giuliani in their efforts in Ukraine. So the nexus is there. There is no debating the facts."

Really, you mean they're zeroing in on the guy who clearly is some kind of hyper-incompetant mob boss with verbal diarrhea? Weird.

Martin Scorsese's The New Yorker will be 15 hours long and Joe Pesci's turn as Guilliani will cement him as the greatest actor ever.

It looks like Republicans dislikes Giuliani due to his "shadow diplomacy":

How's my day going, you said? Well I'll tell you how my day is going, and it's going very well. It's going very well. It's going very, very well; I got the President of Russia on the line and we had, we had, completely consensual, it was a very productive phone call and completely consensual. We had lunch and it was one hundred percent consensual and President Trump, he's very, he's very satisfied with my performance. I am having a just, a great, a pleasant day, and what I did, in Russia, it's going to secure our great president for re-election. There's been no foul play.
