insiders going to prison. rudy giuliani is under investigation by federal prosecutors in new york. not just under scrutiny by congress in the democrat-led impeachment inquiry. props who whoever runs joe biden s social media because joe biden doing this after the roger stone conviction, two elections, zero criminal convictions, trying to get a little play on that one. because if you think back, i said this during the break. imagine if this were the obama administration. now republicans, let s listen to some of the president s defenders. nothing. life on earth is bribery. you say i want something from you, you give something to me. that s how the world works everywhere. you elected donald trump to drain the swamp? well, dismissing people like yovanovitch is what it looks like. dismissing everybody involved from the obama holdover days trying to undermine trump. under obama, ambassadors were
into the bidens. that is ambassador sondland. but a senior u.s. diplomat now says he was with sondland in ukraine when he called president trump, told him he had just met with a new government in kiev and that it had agreed to launch the investigations the president had requested. that diplomat, david holmes, testified ambassador sondland held the phone away from his ear at a public restaurant and he clearly heard the president asking about investigations. after the call, holmes said ambassador sondland told him when it comes to ukraine, president trump cares only about, quote, big stuff that benefits the ft like the biden investigation mr. giuliani was pushing. so ambassador sondland has some explaining to do in the week ahead. mr. giuliani had a starring role in the week just ended. he illustrated a smear campaign that cost ambassador marie yovanovitch her job. yovanovitch told congress the u.s. embassy team was alarmed to see rudy giuliani pop up in ukraine working with the corrupt
