Critical in a number of respects. Rudy giuliani keeps appearing on television with his tablet, showing Text Messages that he got from volker and suggesting that he was acting at the instance of the state department in meeting with these ukrainian officials, belying the fact that he had had contacts in ukraine for months before that, apparently.
