- giuliani sees one thing, opportunity. - trump is clearly the best choice. - he thought, this will put me back in the spotlight. - what i did for new york, donald trump will do for america!

Player on the world stage. he had won this election in ukraine, but he had this background as a popular comedian. - [non-english speech] - zelensky parlayed this role, in which a kind of naive, but well-intentioned schoolteacher, becomes the president of ukraine, into becoming the president of ukraine. this throws a wrench into the interests of rudy giuliani. - that election creates a whole new dynamic that giuliani then tries to navigate and game out. - this is in fragile new government. obviously, recent events show that there is an external danger to ukraine that they cannot ignore. the dangle from rudy is, we could offer you a public show of support to get a meaningful investigation of hunter biden. - rudolph giuliani was not a diplomat. rudolph giuliani was not an ambassador. rudolph giuliani was not the secretary of state.
Of talk about biden s son, so if you can look into it, it sounds horrible to me. - trump spends the call asking zelensky very specifically to help him investigate hunter biden. - white house notes of that call show that when zelensky asked for a shipment of anti-tank missiles, trump countered with these words, i would like you to do us a favor though. - what zelensky doesn t realize is, that inside the white house, trump has put a hold on several million dollars of aid to ukraine in anticipation of zelensky agreeing to these investigations. - many of those who are close to donald trump think that none of this would have happened without rudy giuliani. ukraine was giuliani s deal. these were his connections, these were his sources, this was his rogue foreign policy. - i don t know that i think the average american at that time understood why it was so important that we give the security assistance to the ukrainians.
Rudolph giuliani was a hired political gun working to advance donald trump s partisan electoral interests. - this scandal is a scandal of major proportions. now, was i - are you done now? - no, i m not done now? - because you haven t said anything. - no. - you can t just talk the whole time. - mueller, that july, testifies in a very clearly lackluster performance to congress. - the finding indicates that the president was not, uh. - trump not only felt this sense of exoneration, he also had this sense of vengeance. - i think robert mueller did a horrible job both today and with respect to the investigation. - he did nothing wrong and he wasn t involved in collusion, and he wasn t involved in obstruction. - and it s in this mindset, where that morning, trump picks up the phone for a call with president zelensky. - the president says, there s a lot
