let s get to the new york times report that says that your former boss rudy giuliani is under investigation for violating laws. he has said that he is unaware of any probe, but how serious of a charge could this be? could we see a second attorney for the president behind michael cohen get indicted? this is incredibly serious. don t forget that in the last two years, the justice department in part of the mueller investigation, and in part because of bill barr s directions, the justice department is much more aggressive in going after the foreign agents registration acts violations, and trying to squeeze influence out of the political campaigns, and this is a justice department priority, and rudy giuliani is clearly in the thick of having clients overseas and taking the instructions from them. he says that he is working for president trump, but it does not
so the am bas fbassador to eu ig to tell congress that he didn t know why the assistance was held up or who ordered it. so sondland is going to reportedly say that he quote relied on the president s assurances in good faith, and passed them along when he texted ukraine ambassador there is no quid pro quo. and now, we are given some insight earlier to the possible question looming over the ambassador as he is preparing to take the witness chair. i am delighted that he is coming in. we think it is this thursday. i am anticipating and looking forward to what he has to say, because he is key. you understand why the ambassador to tu was the point person on the ukraine? i do not. you have not gotten an answer to that? no, it does not make sense, because obviously, he shouldn t be. and sondland s testimony is to be a busy part of the
