Random guy offers foreign policy advice
Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer who has become a key figure in the impeachment inquiry, is now proposing a joint US-Ukrainian probe to investigate potential corruption by officials from both countries.
He says that as if we were eagerly awaiting his thoughts on how to bring the US and Ukraine together, when in fact he’s almost the very last person we want to hear from on that subject (unless it’s under oath in a courtroom). Rudy Giuliani isn’t the boss of how Ukraine and the US get along. He’s Trump’s personal lawyer, not the Secretary of State.
The Guardian continues:
The tweet, which is unlikely to generate any legitimate interest, comes the same week that Giuliani traveled to Europe to meet with former Ukrainian officials who helped spread baseless corruption allegations against Joe Biden.
“Unlikely to generate any legitimate interest” – that’s cold. I like it.
No one’s ever been convicted under the Logan Act. Could this be another first?
When you think about it, it’s probably the best general ‘look over there…!’ kind of advice he can come up with at present.
I think he suffers from such a heady mix of delusion and hubris that he imagines that any such investigation would be led by himself, Barr and Nunes. Despite ample evidence that they’re all neck deep in shady shit.
It doesn’t have to be that large, either. Giuliani doesn’t have to look too far to find culprits: after all, he works for one.
I hope not, but I suspect that they’re going to get away with it; Trump is going to get acquitted, Trump will get his sham investigation, Biden will become the nominee, and the entire election will become about Ukraine’s investigation into the Bidens, and Trump will sail to victory on another popular vote loss.
Truly the worst timeline.
And the fact that he lost the popular vote will be “fake news” because he will have gotten the largest vote of all time, ever, and had so many people at his inauguration the entire country couldn’t hold them all, and a lot of them had to float above the thing in balloons and look down to see their hero.
