Giuliani is trying to take advantage of the lack of knowledge by Americans of the corrupt regime in Russia.
I pray he fails. I think he will.
Follow people like former ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul to understand how Russia has not only physically invaded Ukraine and annexed territory, but has also been engaged in a full-out corruption, misinformation propaganda, and institutional undermining war against Ukraine for years. The people Giuliani cites are uniformly on the wrong side of that war. They are on the side of corruption and Russian power, and against democracy and good government.
This is what matters.
Please share widely!

All credit to Fred Rich Lariccia for his apt epithet for this obviously compromised shill. The exact reason for his compromise remains a mystery. But as you look around Washington today, this is not rare (e.g., Sen. Lindsay Graham).
Thankfully, as I write this today, it appears Republicans may bevawakening to the background on all this.

“Dracula Ghouliani” is the Traitor’s sycophant henchman charged with carrying out the strategy of Denial, Distraction and Intimidation vis a vis Russia, Ukraine and the Whistleblower.

Pompeo has re-opened a witch hunt “investigation” of 130 former aides to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails even though the 5 year statute of limitation has expired.
I’m SURE this is NOT a distraction from the Whistleblower Ukrainegate scandal.
Sure, cough cough. Absolutely, positively, sure.
But, the emails. And Lock Her Up !
Morons.

Russian 5th columnists and Trumpist right-wing propaganda shills are spreading the lie against Vice President Joe Biden by creating the”Biden/Ukraine/corruption” meme to destroy his character the same way they destroyed Hillary in 2016 with the “Clinton/server/untrustworthy” lie.

In these perilous times, it would be well for all of us to remember that balance does not mean giving the same weight to a lie as you do to the truth.

Trumpturds want to draw everyone into their insane conspiracies, muddy their criminal liabilities and deflect blame away from themselves.

The piece missing for me is motive. Why would Giuliani (or Trump for that matter) approve Russian annexation of parts of Ukraine?
SomervilleTom says
@Why?
I think Donald Trump is in deep with Russian organized crime and has been for years or decades. So I think the answer for Donald Trump is that Donald Trump approves of the Russian annexation of parts of Ukraine because Vladimir Putin desires that.
I can only assume that the motive for Mr. Giuliani is money.
terrymcginty says
Exactly!
fredrichlariccia says
Fear is their motive. Because their Master, Putin, demands it. That’s why.
bob-gardner says
Conspiracy theory. The very real Trump-Ukraine scandal does not match the “Putin is behind everything meme”, no matter how much Fred talks to himself.
fredrichlariccia says
This impeachment is about a POTUS who sought to use taxpayer dollars to extort a foreign power into giving him falsified dirt on a political opponent.
That’s a crime.
bob-gardner says
Of course you’re right, Fred. But Trump’s collusion with Ukraine, puts Russian’s adversary in a position to blackmail the U.S. for more military aid. Can that be what Putin wants?
fredrichlariccia says
Why would Putin want the U.S. to send more military aid to Russia’s enemy, Ukraine?
