“Rudy will be cut looseâ€: GOP reportedly ready to make Giuliani the fall guy on impeachment — if necessary

Axios posted this item early this morning before Bill Taylor and George Kent testified but it seems even more relevant afterward.
It’s been reported elsewhere recently that three scapegoats are being lined up for Trump in case the evidence starts building that the president himself was behind the quid pro quo. One is Mick Mulvaney, who oversees the agency that held up Ukraine’s military aid; the second is Gordon Sondland, the middleman between the White House and Ukraine who squeezed the latter to investigate “corruptionâ€; and the third, of course, is Rudy, the man who was chattering to the press about his interest in the Bidens and Burisma six months ago and who appears to have served as chief liaison to Ukraine in all this.
Mulvaney could theoretically be blamed for placing a hold on the aid without Trump’s approval, but that would be hard to believe given reporting to the contrary. Sondland could theoretically be blamed for freelancing an aid-for-Burisma exchange on Ukraine, but that’s hard to believe too given his status in the administration. He’s a rich guy who donated to Trump’s campaign and was rewarded with an ambassadorship, not a “deep stater†with his own foreign policy agenda. He’s a messenger, little more.
