influence u.s. politics. the two men were said to have made contributions to pete session campaign in an effort to get a ukraine ambassador removed from her post. a move supported by rudy giuliani. the arrest would only complicate the impeachment inquiry into president trump. as we were discussing. dan, back to you firstly and don our last hour made the frick and frack joke. you ve got the two guys, the video of them at the trump international hotel. this is a rag tag bunch. what s fascinating about it is what they were trying to do at once. ken saying these were gas price who wore two hats. they were trying to enrich themselves all the while working with rudy giuliani, carrying out faux state craft, trying to get this ambassador out of the position she was in with pete sessions. what does it say to you about, you touched on this, the
