Giuliani under investigation for Ukraine work

President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani is under investigation for his work in Ukraine.

Giuliani, 75, has attempted to gather evidence of criminal activities by former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter while also trying to persuade foreign governments to help them dig up dirt.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating if he broke lobbying laws in his dealings with Ukraine, the New York Times reported Friday night. The investigation is tied to the arrests of two of Giuliani's clients who were helping him in his investigation, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman. The two individuals were arrested on campaign finance-related charges.

The investigation is focusing on Giuliani's efforts to undermine Marie Yovanovitch, the American ambassador. She told House impeachment investigators Friday during her testimony that Trump got rid of her over "unfounded and false claims," according to Politico.

Yovanovitch, who was mentioned in the famous Trump-Ukraine phone call, was appointed to the post by President Barack Obama in 2016 and recalled by Trump in May.

Whatever we do, let's make sure that no real investigation of American corruption in Ukraine happens.

Just want to know, y'all ..... how in the bloomin' blue blazes is this an impeachable offense for a republican?  Obama told Medved(sp?) he would have more time for 'Vladimir' AFTER he got elected US president; he interfered with the last Israeli election; he ordered Clapper and Brennan to do certain things against the Republican presidential candidate...... ?  And then THIS is an impeachable offense?

HOW?????????  (Not imitating Fauxcohantas) 22chief

Its not. But the media sometimes must get extra-creative to keep the 'orange man & his supporters bad' meme running. Can't have anything knock them off their roll.

Where’s Barr? Preparing for his own appearance before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, I guess.

Seems a California dim-rep wants to know why Barr talked to Murdock just before the firing of Shemp Smith and thinks Barr ought to answer to questions.

Seems Barr maybe the next Trump administration official to come under Star committee scrutiny.
